RAMBLE AT GREAT SAND DUNES

Welcome to Ramble at Great Sand Dunes, a beautiful, low-density, environmentally designed campground that welcomes everyone into the outdoors. The location is vast and well appointed: 320 acres of rolling sand dunes nestled up against the Sangre De Cristo mountain range and just a short drive to the Great Dunes National Park and Preserve. Designed with the natural flow of the existing terrain and desert vegetation, Ramble at Great Sand Dunes provide a perfect combination of views, privacy, spaciousness and amenities.
