Josh Baker first lived in Southern Colorado in the early 90's as a child, but his family moved away after a short time. His desire to move back here as an adult prompted him to start bringing his own family to Colorado for vacations. They purchased land in the valley in 2014 and moved to Colorado in 2020. They are using all they've learned from years of RV adventures, to continue the park's mission of providing a clean, affordable, spacious, well-run camping facility, and to be a centrally located "base camp" and hub of information for everything this unique area has to offer. You'll be camping in the shadows of 14,000 ft. mountain peaks, in the largest high-desert alpine valley in the world, that is sprinkled with free-flowing artesian wells, hot springs and wet lands. Daily summer temperatures average 65 degrees, and it will get down into the 50's at night. That's perfect camping weather! For native American tribes, including the Utes, Apache, Navajos, and others, this valley is considered the source of life, a place where humans and spirit enter and leave this world. The valley was considered so sacred, that no war would be waged here. The ET Connection As if all of the mountains, deserts, hot springs, and sacred ground weren't enough, The San Luis Valley is also known as a UFO hot spot! UFO sightings have been reported as far back as the 1600's. • EXPRESS CHECK IN - We'll send you an email the day before your arrival, with your site number, wifi password, etc. There is no need to check in at the host site when you arrive, unless you have questions.

[hipcamp aggregate summary]
Nice big bathrooms very clean as well! Conveniently located to sand dunes national Park. Very accommodating.
Plenty space between sites. CLEAN, spacious showers and good washing machines. But best of all was sitting at the picnic table, drinking coffee and watching the sunrise behind Blanca Peak. I will definitely stay here again and for a longer time. Great camping ground!
This was a perfect spot to come back to for a shower after a long day at the Dunes before heading into town for dinner. The camp host and owner were extremely helpful and kind!! We were able to rent sand boards right there at camp. Would definitely recommend this place!
Clean and open rv park camping. Easy to find and right off the highway. Comms with the host were good. Water, dump station, and power were included in our space. The facility’s shower/restroom/laundry center were clean and excellent. Free coffee too! Very close to the sand dunes, which we visited on the way out. Excellent stay!
Great 360 views. Hosts were very friendly and kept the grounds/clubhouse immaculate.
