Use the tent, bring and stay in your campervan or pitch your own tent. Pack in what you pack out.
The Tent
A large 8-10 person waterproof canvas bell tents on top of a 16 ft x 18 ft platform - 16 feet in diameter. The tent has low profile windows that go around the perimeter of the tent and a large netted door with double zippers for privacy. There is a propane heater that you can use on cooler nights but propane is not provided. The heater takes the little green cans. There is also one air mattress with a battery power air pump if you wish to use it. The batteries may or may not be good so if you are planning on using it please make sure to bring 4 D batteries just in case. Parking space next to the tent so you wont have to carry your gear very far. This is a primitive site and does not have water or electric. Please pack in what you pack out.
The Property
The property is marked off with green poles with pink flag tape on the tops. You are free to roam anywhere inside this area. During the summer months rattlesnakes are active in the area so please be aware of what is around you when walking around. Also the tent is guidelines around the whole tent for support. Please do not mess with the guidelines and be careful when walking around them so you don't trip.
There is a fire pit in front of the tent to use when you are allowed. Please check local weather for "Red Flag Warnings" in area 225 (San Luis Valley). If there is a warning for that area it is illegal to outside open fires.

Be the first to review!Blanca, Colorado•3 Photos•3 SavesSand Dunes, Summits and Stargazing. Camp at the base of 14000 ft Blanca Peak in the beautiful San Luis Valley, Colorado only 15 minutes from Great Sand Dunes National Park. Gaze at the Milky Way at night and watch the stars fall. You'll have your own 5 acres with a pergola, picnic bench and fire pit with views that will take your breath away. This is a primitive camping at it's best. There are no amenities, power or restrooms. You must pack it in and pack it out.

Piñon Campground — Lathrop State Park
Always great views
We love to come here to get great views of the Spanish Peaks. This time we had site 93 that faced away from the peaks. Still gorgeous but is a subtle way.

ScoutPiñon Campground — Lathrop State Park
Excellent park
The pinion campground was a great choice for our first rv stay. The park is accommodating with toilets and showers at the campgrounds and has hiking trails and plenty of lake to fish from. We stayed two nights during the week and it was plenty quiet at night and the campsite was a relatively good size. Ours had 30 amp service, and had a spigot not far, to fill our fresh water tank. There was a dump station that was free to use also. Great views and the sand dunes were only an hour away. I highly recommend this place.

Absolute scam
We drove there no markings of anywhere to camp no one around and when you call the number provided by Dyrt it has been disconnected. We moved on and will be fighting to get a refund.

Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park
Nice campground with clean showers!
Stayed: May 22, 2024 Cost: $18 Site: Lake Alice Loop - 01 Cell Service: None (AT&T and T-Mobile) Equipment: Tent
We stayed in the Lake Alice loop in Site 1. We tented, but it looks like they have it split between tents and RVs, and this was technically an RV site. It had water and electric, so that’s why we chose this site. Sites were nice and clean, with a fire ring and table. Close to neighbors.
Vault toilet in the loop and running water and showers located 1/2 mile from the Lake Alice loop. Showers were very nice for a campground. They were actual showers, not just concrete or dirty tile, and had plenty of room and hooks for clothing. Two showers per side for Men’s and Women’s.
No cell service for either of our carriers, and I don’t think for any, until about a mile beyond the shower house, prior to the entrance of the park.

Wild Horse Mountain View
My Little Piece of Heaven
This is my wild, little piece of Heaven. I love the mountains, I love the lake view, I love the wild horses! My kids get so excited when they see the horses come down to drink water. We even spotted a foal. The stars are awesome and so clear at night. Perfect for stargazing.

Good for a night passing through
We booked a view site at this campground after reading about the incredible views but unfortunately, when we arrived, it was completely socked in, and we could not see a thing! Views the next morning were much better but although we had a view of the mountains, we also had a view of Highway 25 (and could hear highway noise). It was considered spring slow and there were only two other campers there besides us (and I believe one of them was the workamper), so it was quiet. In high season, however, there is no separation/privacy between sites. All sites are gravel, and each site has a picnic table.
The office was closed (as was the café) but we received a text message the morning of our arrival confirming our stay (it was pre-paid) and giving us directions to the campground, the bathhouse code, and the WiFi code. The bath/shower house was very clean and there was laundry available for a very reasonable price of $1 for the washer and $ 1 for the dryer. The showers looked very clean as well but did not use them as it was below freezing during our stay (late April).
Sorry to be the one to harsh the mellow of all the five-star reviews but for us, even though our stay was quiet and uneventful (and the amenities were clean), the proximity to the highway and closeness of the sites are generally not our preferred type of camping.

Raton Pass Camp & Cafe
Great place to stop for the night
This place sits upon a mountain and overlooks such a beautiful view! The staff are wonderful and make you feel welcome. The only thing that would’ve made the stay better, is if the spots were further apart. It was very busy so everyone was parked right up against one another. It’s a small place so it makes sense why it had to be that way, but still a great spot to spend a night or two!

Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park
Clean bathrooms, some spots with good views over lake
Clean bathrooms, coin operated showers, spots a little closer than I'd like but not close to full when we visited. Good easy hike/strolls in the area with views of the lake.
Susan L.LegendCarpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park
Great Views! Nice hiking.
Camped in a small RV in site 13 which had a fairly level gravel pad. There was a tent site, but it looked to have been washed away. This site had great views of the mountain and lake. Enjoyed the short hike on Levsa - a one mile loop with up high views of Lake Trinidad. The Carpios trail was steep and rocky. Didn't have time for the 3 other trails. Showers and Laundry nice. Saw some deer and a wild hare. Somewhat nearby is Capulin Volcano National Monument. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place to Rise with Nature
Multiple camping sites, RV, friendly, no hook ups, but easy to access. Fresh water from the reservoir. Excessive trails for hiking the mountain sheep love to hang around this reservoir.

La Vista Campground - Lake Isabel
Beautiful Setting!
Loved the setting and the short walk to Lake Isabel as well as the empty picnic area across the creek. Campground hosts were super friendly but respectful of our space and our pups who are learning to camp. Very nice people, clean restrooms and easy access. We were in #28 which looked more private in the pics, but turned out to be great. Were there the first week of August - surprised there were no bugs! Great spot close to home in Colorado Springs!

Callie C.GuideLake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park
Worth the price, kind of remote
Small campground near CO border. Perks would be lake at top of mountain, 5-7 min drive from CG and showers, at entrance to park. Downfall is you need to drive to everything unless you want to walk along trails on the other side of road. Trails in park were nice - t-mobile service did not work at all, zero bars. Bear boxes provided, deer walked through campground often. I did see bear tracks while hiking but host said they’ve never been a human issue.
Tara M.ScoutHummingbird Ranch
Great quiet place to camp!
My girlfriend and I came here to watch the Perseid meteor shower and it did not disappoint. We had the place to ourselves and a great view of the stars. A little hard to figure out exactly where to camp, but other than that, convenient to access and beautiful. Portapotty was clean too! We plan to come back.

Way too noisy
Got personal 4 wheelers, then the a/c noise from the campers, people with their drama, and the police on the other side of the fence. Very sad here.

Rude workers!!!!!
Every employee working there is extremely rude! My dad and brother had a lady scream in their face when they asked her a simple question. If you want to camp somewhere nice I suggest going elsewhere.

Close sites, but convenient location
First off - we tent camped in this RV heavy campground. sites were a little too close for comfort. Coin-operated showers were nice but got dirty and gross quickly. Not far from town, and lake has lots of fun opportunities.

Beautiful views!
We came on a holiday weekend so the main camp area was full. We carried our stuff down the trail a bit and made a temporary site. It was the best ever because we woke up with views and everyone else woke up to busy hikers getting ready at the crack of dawn. Ha! It would still be beautiful over there, don't get me wrong, just trying to keep myself jazzed about making a bunch of trips back to the car.

Removed, but not much else to do
This is a wonderfully isolated, dispersed camping area. There are group sites and individual ones, scattered bathrooms, and a few picnic tables. Not much to do nearby, but the campsite is beautiful.

Not what you would call Camping
This is straight out year round living, in broken down RV's.
