Great Sand Dunes Oasis

Went here to grab sand sleds for our journeys on the dunes. Very nice staff, the woman we got our sleds from went over how to wax our boards before each ride which was helpful! Turned our boards in by 3:30 and talked with Susan for awhile, she was great! Nice spot and good prices. The restaurant was already closed for the season and we didn’t camp, but great experience renting overall!

Great stay, only set up a tent basically to sleep. Arrived later in the day, set up, went to check out the dunes for sunset. Up early to head back into the NP.||Tent sites are your choice, most were pretty rocky and mostly flat. View and privacy(at least for our night) was excellent. Great staff, showers, store, restaurant and location. I'd camp here again for sure, also would look into the cabins.

Super happy with this campsite! Did last minute trip Labor Day weekend. Staff were friendly on the phone when I called ahead, saying it's first come first serve. Perfect camp site available for good price with fire ring and plenty of space for a car and tent without feeling squished. Spaced out from other campers but I still felt safe knowing other people would be around if there was an emergency. 5-10 min drive from the dunes and amazing view of the sunset on them. Restaurant was pretty good and super convenient. Store has anything you could need that you forgot at home, including lighters, sawdust bricks, and firewood. Highly recommend!

As a tent camper Positive: - good service at the store - plenty of tent sites, even when everywhere else was full, all with picnic tables and fire places (mostly stone circles) - close to the national park - showers available (3 in total, to share with also the RV spots and I assume also the cabins etc available) Improvements: - of all the tent spots, I think about 10% could actually be used to put your tent on. Majority is very skewed and has no proper horizontal-ish space. - in my opinion, for what I’ve seen the management of the tent section is lacking *a lot*. Read; parties until after midnight, lots of people hanging their garbage bags in the trees despite the possible wildlife, etc. Due to the noice we moved sites to the other side of the campground in the middle of the night (as the group did not want to lower their volume nor music at all). We then also spotted a group of coyotes walking around at the campground! All and all: I think this place has a lot of potential but it really needs some love and attention (and having the campers adhere to the rules the campground says they have).

Drove in late in the afternoon and there were plenty of tent sites available, most with shade. The sites and bathrooms were very clean. View was great. Less than 5 minutes to the Great Sand Dune National Park Visitor's Center. We went Labor Day weekend and the sled and board rentals didn't start until 8 am. Obviously more expensive than the campground in the park, but having a shower was worth it.

Great location for while visiting the park. Great selection of merch you may need while visiting and the prices were reasonable. There was a restaurant but we did not visit. It was super easy to rent boards for sand sledding. It was about $22 per board for the day with a $250 hold on your card until the sled is returned. Surprisingly the port a potties were very clean that were available for use in the parking lot.

Don't sleep on this place! Beautiful location right in front of Great sand dunes national park! It does look like a parking lot, but you are far enough away from your neighbor rv and there are water/electric hookups. Their store is nice and reasonably priced!
