Such a memorable camping experience!

We had the opportunity to camp at Ramble's Great Sand Dunes site prior to it being launched as early testers and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. A sink with running water?!?! What a dream come true. Not only did we have a sink but a double burner that made cooking and cleaning dishes a breeze. The amenities at the site were incredible! We had flat tent pads which made sleeping in a tent so much more comfortable. We even had a power outlet to charge our phones in our tents. I loved the Polywood chairs and picnic table. So much more comfortable than our folding chairs and not having to worry about them blowing away was an added bonus. Making smores over the fire with all the views was breathtaking. I highly recommend this campground for campers who want some of those upscale amenities without compromising the camping experience! I can't wait to camp with Ramble again.

WOW! The views!

As a beta tester for Ramble at Great Sand Dunes National Park and their Evergreen test site, I was able to enjoy the complete Ramble camping experience at both locations. They certainly are dialed in on their anti-parking lot style approach. Camping at Ramble at Great Sand Dunes NP, my initial reaction was how beautiful and vast the views are at the campground. You have a beautiful backdrop of the Sangre De Cristo mountain range and the Great Sand Dunes off in the distance. My campsite was nestled comfortably between rolling dunes which created a super private camping experience. I look forward to when Ramble officially opens so I can take advantage of the bike trail and lay back and enjoy the dark skies. Bonus--- this campground is under a dark sky reserve!! At the Evergreen Test Site, I was able to experience a Signature Plus campsite, which had an outdoor kitchen and comfy tent pads. Having a working sink and large counter space made it easy to prepare meals for my friends and elevated my outdoor cooking experience. I look forward to camping at Rambles in the future-- especially if I only need to bring my tent and food, it makes it that much easier to get out and go camping!

Amazing family tent camping!

"The Ramble test campsite in Evergreen was full of unexpected surprises and delights and has me real excited to stay at Ramble's campground near Great Sand Dunes National Park. Located a short drive from Alamosa's small town main street, the campground is nestled in place and slowly meanders through native dunes and desert scrub. A real pleasant divergent from the typical campground landscape. This is an ideal campground for family car camping, not only for the seasoned campers, but those new to camping as well. The kitchen is outfitted with more than my family needs(2 burner stove, sink with water, storage cabinets and electricity), as well as the conveniences that we too often forget, such as soap and paper towels. I definitely appreciate the use of solar PV at the site to help minimize our impact. The Ramble campground also makes a conscious effort towards water conservation with automatic shut-off low flow fixtures and user controlled footpumps for the kitchen sink. The ample tent pads are convenient to the kitchen, yet far enough away for privacy and nestled into the scrub and dunes to be buffered from strong winds which can and do occur. With spectacular 360 degree views, I would definitely recommend this campsite for those looking for a great natural setting, full of family conveniences and close to world class landscapes!"

The Campgrounds you Deserve!

Our family of four (two adults and two kids + a dog) were lucky enough to tent camp at the Ramble Test Site location as early testers back in late September 2022. The campsite is modeled after the Signature Plus category and it is massive: three spread out and level tent pads with tie down hooks and each had its own electrical outlet that we used for tent lights and iphone charging. The campsite was well equipped with everything you'd need for an awesome camping trip. It had its own outdoor kitchen with a foot pump powered sink, drinkable water, a really nice Camp Chef stove, a solar powered outlet for small devices(plugged up the bluetooth speaker), a large shade structure, a picnic table, a fancy Solo Stove fire pit, six comfy but well built chairs, horseshoe pits and cornhole. The campsite was pet friendly and even had a dog leash connection hook. We used a trailer bathroom at this location but the location down near the Great Sand Dunes National Park will have its own bath house with flushing toilets, sinks, hot showers and baby changing areas. It also will include a mini shop that is QR code accessible for easy purchases of firewood and toiletries. I would highly recommend this campground for those looking for a genuine and upscale camping experience!
