Location Questions
We are about a 20 minute drive from the National Park. You can see the Sand Dunes from Base Camp. We are the second closest campground to the Dunes.
Base Camp is just 7 miles from Alamosa, which has restaurants, gas, Walmart, Safeway, etc.
Base Camp is an alpine desert park. We have planted trees at each RV site, but they are not mature. There is no grass in the campground. We’ve tried to keep it as natural as possible with the native high-desert shrubs and sand.
You can arrive as late in the evening as you wish. We’ll send you an email the day before your arrival, with your site number, WIFI password, bathhouse code, etc.
