Spent just one night at the campground traveling through. Nice and quiet there in late October. Only site 77 would accommodate my 25' Class C motorhome towing a car on a dolly. Nice trail from there to the river and the dunes. Good visitor center. Would recommend this very unique place. Surprisingly enchanting with the mountains and the dunes. Definitely chilly in late October.

Shoulder season at Sand Dunes NP, excellent time to go. Don’t count on the camp store being open for fire wood even if the website says it is, BYOFirewood. Bathrooms clean and working well, cold running water, lighting inside is not very good though. Campsites are awesome, AMS while pretty close together, there is good amount of trees and shrubs in between making it seem better than it is.

Excellent camp grounds and very clean. Very clean facilities. Raining for most of my trip which made things more memorable with a great view of the Dunes.
