It was a beautiful location! Lots of hiking and breathtaking views! The hosts made it a great spot. Thank you 💕
Tanya was an amazing host, super helpful and even offered to let us stay an extra night. The property is very beautiful and secluded while still being not far from civilization. Awesome place to stay if you’re going to the sand dunes!!
I wouldn't waste your money here. First of all there was no sign for the road to turn in to making it difficult to find. After a heavy rain the lock wouldn't open and she blamed it on us and reported us to hipcamp. Additionally for the amount I was paying to stay here, I expected there to not be buckets of human feces lying around the campsite. Would not recommend this place!
Incredible place to camp! We loved it here. Private and peaceful campsite with awesome views! Would definitely camp here again or recommend it to a friend :)
The gulch was beautiful! Lovely camp setting. Toilet shack was a nice amenity. It’s about an hour to the visitors center of Great Sand Dunes NP, but our family loves the solitude and quiet of camping away from others.
