Pretty but Small

We stayed here to be close to Great Sand Dunes. We got in late at night and the road was very rough and harder to follow after dark. The campsites are set up on the hillside and offer very little flat space. They do have tent pads so you don't have to worry about sleeping on too much of a pitch. They also include picnic tables, fire rings, and bear lockers. They are serviced by pit toilets. We were not able to find running water, but it may have just been because we were there in the winter.

It was a very cold night on the mountain side and got down to 14 degrees, so be ready for that if you are going in the winter.

We hiked to the waterfall in the morning and it was well worth it. The view from the trail head was very pretty and we were glad we saw it.

The payment machine was broken while we were there and it ended up being by donation. We gladly paid to stay.
