    Costs a lot more than listed

    We were charged $170 for a site in the middle of a gravel parking lot. It included dinner, breakfast and use of the hot springs. The WiFi didn’t reach us, but worked in the buffet style cafeteria-like dining area. Way overpriced for the experience!

    Came for the daily soak - stayed for the camping

    This place was great! We originally planned just to do a daily soak before heading to our next campsite but ended up just staying here because we enjoyed it so much. The camp sites were simple but great and you have total access to all hot springs, bathrooms, showers, sauna, AND a communal outdoor kitchen. We participated in the clothing optional experience but didn’t feel like we had to. Great people all around from guests to staff. Highly recommend!

    Great Sand Dunes Oasis

    Great Location

    We booked here last minute on a holiday weekend and we were thankful they had a spot for us! The campground parking area is just that. It’s a place to park for the night, with full hook ups. No wifi. The location can’t be beat! Views are incredible! The bath house was clean. There is a store and restaurant in property. They also have cabins to rent. . My only complaint…this is a dark sky area with expansive views of the sky and the opportunity to see the Milky Way. This is not something g I get to see at home! However, all the giant campers had their bright lights on at night and it really messed with viewing of the sky. I wish there was a rule of no outside lights at night. It’s unnecessary! If you are one of those people that leave your lights on when you go in for the night, please reconsider!

    Close to the park but basic campsites

    We spent one night here so we could go to the park. Nice enough campground with level spaces and full hook ups. We paid $54. Area also has cabins and a lodge as well as a store with a little restaurant. The showers were amazing at this place. Nice hot copious amounts of water and very clean. About 4 miles from the park entrance. Sandunes were pretty cool, but unless you want to hike to the very top of them, you could easily only spend two hours at the most here.

    Excellent Location

    This campground is so conveniently close to the national park. The property was well-maintained and clean. The staff were very friendly. And, there was a restaurant, gift shop and equipment rental shop on the property.

    Our RV spot had full hookups but the sites were so closely spaced that there was no room for a picnic table or outdoor seating. The bathrooms were modern, clean, and with hot showers.

    Relaxing spot to soak in a hot tub

    Beautiful view of snow covered mountains. Spent the weekend here with family. 5 hot spring tubs and pools. Breakfast and dinner are included in your stay. ( bring lunch and snacks) food is healthy but not too filling. The camping fee per night without hook ups is $134 per night which is steep but most people are here for the hot springs. There is a small motel on site , yurts, and also 4 TPs for rent. Shower house and restrooms are available.

    Joyful Journey Hot Springs

    Camping Isn't the Reason to Come Here

    Just going to start by saying that camping is not why people come here -- it’s for the waters!  The spa offers numerous pools and tubs at varying temperatures so you can find your joyful spot– be sure to check out the cold plunge pool as well. 

    The RV spots are on one side of the large parking lot, with the hook up spaces in the middle, with non-electric spots running around two of the outside sides. We were in one of these spots because we run completely on solar to save money. There are zero trees around the lot so sunshine was plentiful. 

    The bathrooms were clean, modern and nice, as was the small, shared kitchen where we could do dishes. In addition to camping the resort offers hotel rooms, private yurts, tipis, conference rooms and other hotel services. In addition to the soaking being included in the price, so was a buffet style breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious, and veggie/ organic friendly. The whole experience was very reasonably priced and relaxing!

    There’s a lot of hiking nearby, in the mountains to the north, west and east- but definitely a drive away. We didn’t check out the walking path in the spa, but they did offer yoga classes in the yurt as well as private massages services and a host of other spa treatments. 

    There aren’t a lot of nearby towns that offer larger grocery stores, Crestone has a small co-op grocery as does Buena Vista, so if you are planning on cooking for yourself, come prepared.

    Awesome

    We’ve camped here 4 times. Twice in tents, once in the cabins and the last time in our RV. The Great Sand Dune Natl park is one of our favorite places to go. The camp ground is clean, quiet and the views are amazing. You can see the milky way at nite and we saw two of the most incredible sunsets imaginable. Bathrooms are kept clean and the camp store has just everything you could need. There is a resturant also. Didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food. I’ll go again and again and again.

    Would be 5 stars, except....Deer flies!!!

    Stunning spot, lots of tent sites, room for maybe 12 campers of modest length, mine is 26' spot #9 is prime for a camper with a driver side slide/kitchen table. unknown if it's seasonal but the biting flies, primarily deer flies are beyond bearable, I survived 4 days, most other campers left after one night. The camp host is very friendly, and knows the best fishing holes.

    The facilities are ran down and poorly maintained, the camp manager has made several campers relocate their rigs to accommodate large groups that wanted to be next to each other.

    We grabbed a tent site for our small teardrop for a night and decided to stay 2. Staff was very freindly. Store had essentials including a gas pump. Only a handful of folks in the tent area and it was nice and quiet. fantastic views of the dunes and plenty of shaded sites. Bathroom in the tent sites were clean

    The RV park is extremely quiet and pet friendly. We extremely enjoyed our three day stay. We have already started planning for a return trip.  They also have cabins for people to stay in it, traveling without their RV/tent.

    Pagosa Springs Riverside Campground is a super sweet spot

    Located close to town off an easily acsessable road, is lakeside and riverside, offering a very peaceful vibe. The hosts were the kindest people, I was treated with "We're glad to have you, thank you for coming to stay." The amenities were plentiful with 24/7 laundry room, showers, bathrooms, hookups, dumps station and general store. Our site E was for camping, but could fit our 22' Sprinter van so to open our slider to the lake. Across the lake is a great little path with the gushing river on the other side, perfect taking the pups for a walk. They even have riverside benches to sit and enjoy the surroundings. We would visit repeatedly if in the area. Great find.

    Last minute stay close to Great Sand Dunes NP

    We stopped in when we missed out on a spot at Zapata Falls earlier in the day. The road is rough coming up and some of the sites aren’t the most level, but there was plenty of space- we drove in and picked whatever looked good as it wasn’t busy when we visited. Showers very clean, drinking water available. Gorgeous view of the dunes at sunset. There is a general store/restaurant on premises for any odds and ends. Most importantly, only about 2 miles from the entrance to the park!

    Enjoyed our stay! Super close to the dunes with showers and laundry. There’s also heated pools and hot tubs. Enjoyed our time in The Greenhouse which has 4 hot tubs and a bar. Cool spot and would stay here again if we were to return to the dunes.
