"Clean friendly staff/owner. Larry is the man. Found this place when everything along the interstate was booked."
"Should have privacy fence from the place next door. Also have cabins to rent. Nice play area for children and a kitchen and a campfire area in the middle of campground."

"The spot was mostly level making set up easy. We had access to a fire pit as well as a grill and table. The creek flowed about 75’ from the site. The camp host was great and very friendly."
"The views here are breathtaking and the sound of the river drowns out the noise from the road which is fairly close."
"A vehicle with off-road capabilities is recommended if you want to reach this campground. While not impossible with a regular sedan, it does take navigating up some unpaved switchbacks."
"There are about 5 by the lake and then 3 on the trail up. It's a busy road, constant stream of people. The trail itself is maybe a 2/10 for difficulty."
$28 - $250 / night

"Great views surrounded by mountains...right on the red river. Minutes away from town and skiing.... Level spots host are amazing, super helpful and attentive."
"The showers and laundry were clean and beautiful. And the town was a short walk away with great restaurants. Can’t wait to come back."
"Lots of dispersed camping a few fire pits. There’s a 1.25 mile hike down to the river to cool down. Plenty of shade and lots of off road trails for driving/running/biking."
"Pulled in around 4pm on a Saturday and only 1 other camper was here. A few vehicles were parked at the bathroom/trailhead, super friendly."
TravelerWe loved this camp site! It was our first time to tent camp in Colorado and it was great. Several sites to choose from. Some have views of the dunes, some are more secluded. Bathrooms were clean. Very spacious tent site with a fire pit. Our tent sleeps 6 and we had no trouble fitting in the spot.
GuideSuper easy to access, very nice staff & good amenities. I pitched my tent four one night here. Tent sites are spacious & have a privacy fence between them. All wood burning fires are currently prohibited in Colorado, but there are fire pits for when they're not. I met a couple with an RV that make this camp a part of any trip this direction. They pointed out that even full this camp is still a gem.
TravelerAll dirt roads. No running water. There’s a port o potty near by aswell as clear parking spots for camp sites. Each campsite has a fire pit and a metal cover over a picnic bench.
ScoutWe absolutely loved Sand Dunes Oasis! It was still off season so we did not have running water at the site but we were able to fill up on site when we arrived. The code to the bathroom changes so if you check in after dark, be sure to get a new code the next day! We almost could not take showers as a result!
TravelerWe stayed 3 nights on our first trip with our new rig. The spot was mostly level making set up easy. We had access to a fire pit as well as a grill and table. The creek flowed about 75’ from the site. The camp host was great and very friendly. The bathrooms were clean. Road noise was minimal.
RangerStaff very helpful. Not much privacy, tent sites kinda wide open. Killer views of the San Luis mountains just past my fingertips.
TravelerThe staff really make this place five stars. So sweet and helpful and welcoming! Amenities are fine, pool was closed during our post-labor day visit. Store is well stocked and they have a pizza shop on site that can be delivered to your campsite. Really good pizza!! The sites are typical KOA- fairly close but well kept and level. Some highway noise, worth it to reserve a “view site” because they’re farthest from the road and bigger. A+ experience!
LegendIt was hot and I was probably a little cranky when we arrived here but state parks, in general, are charging more and more and for $38 (including the required $10 Colorado State Parks day use fee), I believe we did not get much value for our money at this campground. Access to the campground is down a long, bumpy washboard dirt road.
The South Shore Campground has ten non-electric sites within supposed walking distance of the lake, although we did not go to the lake. Sites 101-104 and 107-109 are wide gravel driveways and 105, 106, and 110 are pull-throughs. Although sites are decent in size, there is no physical separation between them.
There were only vault toilets (which were clean) and no showers (I had really been hoping for a shower!).
Each site has a bbq grill, fire pit, and covered picnic table. However, it was so windy when we were there and because of the direction the wind was blowing, the cover was useless, we had to use our van as a wind block to cook dinner, and eat inside the van.
One of the rules was only 3.4% alcohol allowed. Fishing appeared to be popular here and there is a path along the dam, but it is a far distance from the campground.
State parks used to be our go-to option, but we are finding we are using them less and less often as the prices continue to increase.
LegendHere on Monday, June 9th to avoid bad weather in NM. $28 + 10 for CO state 1 day pass ($80/yr), but trash, vault toilets, covered picnic tables, fire pits and BBQ grills, included 24 hr showers, laundry, garbage, full and self contained, ALL with lake views! Very quiet and serene, boating, kayaking, hiking, wildlife...awesome campground!
