When you pull in drive about a mile down the road past the helicopter pad and you will start seeing sites on the left and right with fire pits. Beautiful views and good Verizon cell service.

Got here on a Saturday night in September and found a spot right away. It had been raining for awhile too. No issue on the road with a kia sorento.

Not much tree cover at a lot of these spots. Great location to be close enough to the dunes.

Was pretty windy and sandy while we were there

Dispersed sites start about 1 mile east of Hwy 150. Very quiet! T-Mobile 5G at 4 bars.

It's a nice spot with a spectacular view but it's very windy and there's a lot of sand.

What a fantastic stop!! You don't get this at koa!!

Others have described it well, the best sites are further up, but hard to get to.

This was a long dirt road with lots of sites all the way up the hill. Most sites are big enough for several campers. Sites are flat and it is very quiet. Gorgeous views!

We had the best view of the sunset and the sunrise... Stargazing was epic! It is crowded and we were lucky to get a spot on top at 12midnight... Campfire is allowed but definetely bring your own campfire wood... The weather was perfect in late May... Will definitely come back!

Tent camping - there were plenty of spots on a holiday weekend. Just 25 mins or so from the entrance of Great Sand Dunes National Park.

Lots of spots, beautiful view, recommend!!

It's basically a rocky road up the side of Mt. Blanco with lots of places to pull off and camp. Suitable for anything from the most rock-fearing to rock-ready. AT&T had a solid two+ bars. The sunset and lightning storms in the distance were breathtaking. Definitely a great choice for a night's boondocking if that's what you need.

Quick decision to stay on the BLM lands near High Sand Dunes. Very quiet, even with many other campers in the area.

This is our first time dispersed camping and we like this! We were pretty nervous that we won’t find any spot, we got here at 5:30pm on 8/18 and there’s still plenty of spots left! Highly recommend.

Multiple spots available in the more-exposed sites closer to the road, and some in the more covered area towards the hills. Couple of lower spots able to be accessed by big rigs. Can be a little windy, but great views and close to Zapata Falls and Great Sand Dunes.

Stayed here after visiting great sand dunes national park! Big lot with lots of places to park. Some mosquitos at dusk but got better at night. stunning views and amazing sunset. Not to mention that at night you could see every star in the sky. I stargazed until it was time to go to sleep. Also a couple kangaroo rats were running around my campsite and it made me so happy, since I was really hoping to see one while I was in this area. Anyways, Zapata falls is also nearby if you’re looking for a quick little hike to kill some time while you stay here. 4 stars because there was a bunch of trash and cow patties everywhere. Also saw a horned lizard under a cow patty!

The best part about this area, aside from the views & the sunsets, is the access to the sand dunes natl park. We completely stumbled upon this area and it turned out to be one of the coolest day trips we’ve ever had. Highly highly recommend checking out the sand dunes. If you go early enough they tend to waive the entrance fee. I recommend driving up into the bushes at the camping site for more privacy, but the road is very rocky. Try and do any bathroom stuff prior to staying because digging cat holes out here is tough. It even hailed on us briefly so watch out for crazy weather! Very cool BLM land!!

Loved everything about this remote spot! The sites were super clean and easy to access. There wasn’t much traffic. You’re down the road from the dunes and about 30 minutes outside Alamosa and other stores. I used the dump station at the sand dunes canoe ground. It was only $8 to fill up water and dump. My cats absolutely loved the area! It was a giant play box for them. Starlink works great. I use Xfinity for phone service and it works ok. Will definitely be back mid Summer. I have a 20ft camper and people were easily driving 5th wheels around here.

Awesome lil site, we came in late and found a spot easily. The road is a tad rocky towards the back, but nothing too crazy. Sunset was beautiful and we got to see a herd of deer walk by :)

Feels remote but close access to main road and bigger towns. Breezy if you don’t drive up to the bushes. Road can get a little rough. Nice dark skies. Super quiet except for the coyotes, as it should be.

Arrived just after 6pm and still able to find a spot. Watched the sun set with dinner and took pictures of the night sky. Best stay and so peaceful!

15 minutes from Great Sand Dunes, plenty of pull off spots, we have a 39ft fifth wheel and found a great spot. Good cell service with Verizon. Beautiful views of Mt. Blanca and the surrounding ranges! Right down the road from Zapata Falls. Road is in good shape, zero issues!

Free camping only 15-20 mins away from great sand dunes national park. There were all sorts of campers utilizing this area—large rvs/buses, vans, roof top tents, tent campers. It is wide open so you can see other campers but lots of room to spread out so we still felt alone. The wind did pick up around 9pm and was absolutely crazy for a few hours. The best part is gorgeous views of Blanca peak and the STARS! Some of the most incredible I’ve ever seen.

Very easy to pull in even late at night. High desert so lots of exposure. Beautiful night sky easy enough to have space from others

This dispersed camping is top notch. Nice sites with amazing views. A little windy but that’s to be expected near the dunes.

Very nice spot near Sand Dunes NP. Free and close to the beautiful mountains.

Located about 15 miles south of Great Sand Dunes NP on well maintained BLM land. There are plenty of sites for every kind of camper. Loads of trails for horses, atv's, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing.

We spent two nights here, in our camper van, while visiting the national park. It’s proximity is so great. The area is easy to find, big and open and nearly all up the very upper parts are navigable by a regular car. There are some upper parts that could require 4WD and high clearance. Our only complaints were how dusty is was and that there really were no trees so potentially not much privacy depending whom is camping around you. If you don’t have a bathroom….this could also be an issue. Not much in the way of tree cover if you are going in the wilderness.
We chose sites on the north side of the area, closer to the park and it seemed more private.
