Best Campgrounds near Costilla, NM

Convenient location about 25 minutes from Great Sand Dunes NP. Several large sites at lower elevation, flat and large enough for an RV or two. Road is graded through the lower portion. As you get higher, the road gets rockier and narrower with some washouts. If you don’t have high clearance scout it out before attempting. Lower sites are very open but decent space between locations. The higher you go the better the sites with some piñon and good spacing. Would definitely return.

This campsite is really convenient for access to the mountain. There are portable toilets and a garbage bin to put your things in. Short walk to the slopes.

Somewhat un level ground but not major. We saw some others using blocks to get it level but it was fine for us without them.

The location is good if you want to explore the hot springs. Average accommodations. No water, electric, at my site anyway, no restrooms, or trash cans. For the money, drive a bit further and stay @ BLM land.

Travel mid March just passing through. Stayed one night. Hidden oasis, great views, clean campgrounds and a lot of option for camping.

It is very well kept and managed. The care takers are nice. It's a little more expensive to stay per night than a state park but the views are well worth it.

Stayed in spot R1 which is pretty small/crowded in, but near river and trees. Lovely duck and geese ponds and river walk, also dog park. Clean restrooms and showers but no changing stalls in either mens/womens shower. Very quiet and affordable. Near to grocery. Grounds are well-kept and healthy & green (lots of trees, shrubs, beautiful walk by river). Sorry pics are a bit washed out, doesn't do it justice.

We had 50 amp, full hookups and stayed for a week. Stable power, good water pressure and threaded sewer connectors. The sites are level, decently spaced and easy to access. The wonderful lady that runs the place (Marti) is warm, friendly and very appreciative of business. If you’re in the area, I recommend staying here. If you’re close by, I’d recommend the same!

Was able to find a really nice open spot with amazing views of the mountains. Was big and spacious enough for me and my friend to camp in our vans. No one around for miles!

Parked on edge of flat in trees close to creek. Nice ambient noise. Fire rings, metal and stone. Plenty of room. Two vault toilets were clean plenty if TP. Lots of trails, bridge over creek, lakes are near by foot.

Nice place! Great views! It's a quite place with a gathering hall to watch TV or charge your devices if need be. I would definitely stay there again!

We camped right to. The Red River, the site was fairly clean but we cleaned up what the campground host failed to pick up.

Picnic table and fire ring. Pit toilet was clean.

This is a great place to stay and it allows for day trips into Taos and Valle Vidal which is a spectacular trip. We saw large herds of bison roaming and had to wait for 20 minutes while they crossed the dirt road.

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.

Beautiful river and lots of wildlife. Drive past the wildlife area sign that says no camping. That sign is only for the entranced area. On down the road you will see the entrance and pay station for the campgrounds. Gorgeous! Nice trail to hike as well.

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

So close to Sand Dunes and just beautiful with a waterfall. Loved it

Nice campsite. Bathrooms were locked and no host on site today maybe due to holiday. Plenty of hiking nearby. Hike to the falls is short and worth it. You can also hike further up to the lake.

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