Great Sand Dunes Dispersed

Beautiful Mountain View’s every way you look. Close to Great Sand Dunes and Alamosa town. Camp sites are very spread out.

absolutely stunning view. very few people here with lots of camp spaces between us. heard wolves or coyotes within the first few hours of being there. fire pits provided.

We selected this location because it got so many great reviews. I don't expect perfection in dispersed locations but, I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the established areas.  They were very difficult to level our smallish travel trailer and perhaps that is the problem.  We were one of very few travel trailers on this road. On the other hand, the views were beyond incredible and for that alone I would use this location for an overnight stay again.

So turn at this spot and head up the hill. It’s also called BLM Bianca which is also a site on here! So many options and the views are incredible. Bugs are insane so don’t come without spray. Coyotes in the distance and just miles of beautiful land and no people. This is the spot to go if you’re going to the dunes!

If you get there early enough you have plenty of spots to choose from. The bottom ones are more flat, while the ones higher up the mountain are a little more rocky. I stayed 3 nights and went to a new spot each night, all were gorgeous! You will see amazing sunrises and sunsets and also may have some cows come visit you. There were a lot of people but it didn’t feel crowded, I personally enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this spot!

Found easily and down road from Great Sand Dunes NP & Medano Creek. BLM (dispersed) spot off Mt Blanca Rd, was quiet and peaceful. Was surprised how many other campers were enjoying nearby sites. Plenty of room to enjoy site without feeling crowded. A nice site, enjoyed evening fire. Some sites have rock fire rings, so was pleased. Nearness to Great Sand Dunes was a huge plus. Would recommend this dispersed site. Alamosa nearby for supples & food, etc.

There’s plenty of spots off the main road, but seems like you need to get there early. We showed up around 6 pm. The road does get pretty rough eventually, and we didn’t trust our minivan going through the “unmaintained” section, we turned around and were able to find a connecting side road that had plenty of open space out there. When entering the road initially, the side road would be about half way up to your left. Pretty close to Great Sand Dunes National Park, so we were happy with this location! Nice mountain view.

Spent one night only on my way home. It was perfect for what I needed. Quiet and peaceful. Wide open spaces. Loads of stars! Very sandy/dusty but not intolerable. Would definitely stay again but probably not for multiple days. Easy drive to Alamosa and the Dunes!

We did not drive up very far because it was getting late. So we did not make it up into the brush, maybe it is better further up. Lots of people, but it was quite People left trash, which we picked up. Lots of bugs on the ground and flying Basically you are camping in an open field. We left the next morning, so it worked for what we needed rolling into town late but I would not choose to stay there.

Enjoyed an evening here. Not much shade, you will be exposed to the sun and any rain. Saw some sedans there but I don't know that I would attempt it. 4WD want necessary but I recommend something with a little clearance.

Beautiful site, there are camp sites along the road listed and a couple of camp sites down dirt roads to the left after you pass the new Heli-Pad. I would recommend only for capable vehicles we made it with a AWD subaru and a 40 year old pop up trailer. Lots of cows and good sunrise and sunset.

Gorgeous 360 views and very easy to access and dispersed enough that you aren’t too close to people but there are campers near by

Last second memorial trip weekend… Plenty of open spots, and the further up you go with a 4 x 4 you have a beautiful view of the valley. It seems to be pretty windy but nothing too crazy campfire pits already built in many locations. 

I drove in late last night just for the night, on my way to Denver. It was pretty windy most of the night. I felt comfortable by myself with others around. There are several pull-offa after you see the first one. Fire rings seem to be established already.

Unsuccessful in obtaining a campsite in Great Sand Dunes NP and discovered BLM land south of the park on Hwy 150, turn east between mile marker 3 & 4 at large sign indicating its ok to camp. Road goes a couple of miles for two wheel drive and further for 4WD. Numerous opportunities.
