We had a pretty good trip considering a few things we were dealing with. The views were amazing, the campground was very neat and nice and the bathrooms were spotless, clean and new. The host and the gentleman at the camp store were very friendly and courteous. Noise and exposure were the biggest problems here. Campsites are extremely close to each other, no privacy at all. The campground was very loud - after 7pm. I'd say this is probably due to inconsiderate people and alcohol, or both. Both nights there were multiple parties being loud hours after the supposed curfew. All could have been avoided if the curfew was actually enforced. Sun/weather exposure here is very high, there is little shade, some sites have no shade at all. Be prepared.

This is a beautiful park. The site was pretty level and large. The shower could have been cleaner. The water was warm though.

The campfire smoke from so many campsites required us to close all the windows in our camper. We both have respiratory issues and smoke at high elevations is very challenging for us to breathe. Given the high potential for wildfires starting from campfires, I would suggest that the park service ban all campfires.

Probably the cleanest National Park I've been to. Rangers were very friendly and helpful. Restrooms were being renovated while I was there, with one being finished just in time for me to use before I left. The renovation was more than I would expect at a National Park and I hope future visitors will respect the exceptional finishes.

Creek was running so beautifully and I woke up with the dusting of snow on the dunes the next morning.

Sites too small and campground very crowded. Unable to fit 23 ft trailer in reserved site. Gave up after 2 tries and went to campground in Alamosa. Campground poorly designed and too far from Dunes.

Even though there were many empty sites (reserved but no one showed up) the noise from all of the generators was terrible. We live in Pagosa Springs, so we visited Sand Dunes many times over the years and doubt we will return. I was surprised how many campers ran their generators all day long.

We got in late in the campsite already had our name on it, there was some left over firewood waiting, and he was spectacular!

This campground isn't for those desiring privacy, but it was the best possible option for one night to see the sand dunes. Sites are very close together and many lack shade. However, flushing toilets are available and you won't find another place closer to the dunes and Medano Creek.

I liked the layout of the campground, even though sites were close, the pinon trees created enough barrier to feel we had our own little space. Neighbors were very nice. The dunes of course were spectaculat, but hike in the morning to avoid afternoon winds. Beautiful snow capped peaks when we were there. Go to Sand Dunes Swimming Pool afterwards for a great soak.
