This was such a lovely stop on our roadtrip! The sites were clearly marked, facilities were in great condition and extremely clean, and the host was so sweet!

Those were the cleanest camping bathrooms Ive EVER seen! So pretty! There was a little store as you come into the second camping loop and we were able to get snacks and smore making material. I would definitely go back but go for the loop one versus look two for more unobstructed views of the dunes and better views of the stars

Our space #56, Loop 2 was nearly perfect. Lots of flat space, abundant shade, and nice tree coverage. The parking was easy enough to back in our 10' hiker trailer. The only thing missing was a view, but I'll take the shade over that, and the trees make for a nice wind break. Close enough to the restrooms, without being too close.

Came in just as an early winter storm was covering the Mts and Great Sands. Got up early to photograph the Dunes and left. Full bathrooms were nice and close access to the dunes would have been great if I had time for a hike.

We had a great experience camping two nights in the campground. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We hiked on the trail leaving from the campground directly to the dunes, which was convenient and much less crowded. Firewood was for sale at the campground, but hours are limited this time of year. We highly recommend!

I love the local camp store which has lots of treats and essentials for those who packed with haste. Hiking to the creek from the campsite is a nice way to avoid some of the crowds around the main parking lot. It's also a better destination upstream because the dunes are closer to the creek.

Amazing! One of my favorite campgrounds.

The campground was very clean and orderly. The process of making reservations was easy. My only regret is I did one over night instead of two.

We loved this campground! Very spacious tent sites. The only thing we didnt like was there was no soap or hand dryer in the bathroom.

Everything went very well. A few things were not open because of the virus. Made later reservastion and the campsite was marker with my name. My hats off to the forest service who is very organizated. Restroom was very clean. Campsite was great too (056, Loop 2) Even had a few deers come through the site which made it interesting. Returning again this week.

Wonderful. Very close to the dunes, in the park, wonderful little store in each loop. Very clean restroom, although no soap so bring your own.
Major Issues

Very good camp site. Though it could have been more level. Excellent trails and the hike to High Dune. Looking forward to a return visit.
