What Ramblers are saying
“We loved the Ramble Great Sand Dunes campground! The host Adam was amazing- always around and happy to help with anything we needed. It was a “buggy” weekend so he provided cans of bug spray to all the campsites. The showers were great (a luxury we aren’t used to having when we go camping) and we enjoyed the camp kitchen and upgraded toilets. The location was also nice- just 30 minutes to the National Park and 15 minutes to Alamosa, with great views all around. Highly recommend and we will be back!”

“After years of dispersed camping, our group was pleasantly surprised by this exceptional campground. While the nearby dunes were certainly enjoyable, it was the campground itself that became the unexpected highlight of our trip. The camp host deserves special recognition for their outstanding hospitality, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. The thoughtful layout offers generous spacing between sites, providing that sense of privacy we’ve come to appreciate from our dispersed camping adventures.
The walk-in sites were particularly impressive, equipped with convenient buggies for transporting gear – a small touch that made a significant difference. Facilities were remarkably well-maintained, with strategically placed porta potties (featuring flushing toilets and running water!) reducing the need for long walks to the main restrooms. The shower facilities exceeded expectations with reliable warm water and complimentary toiletries.
What truly sets this campground apart is their attention to detail and commitment to camper comfort. While we came for the dunes, we’ll remember the exceptional camping experience. Our group is already planning our next trip to visit their Mesa Verde location – perhaps the highest praise we could offer as dedicated dispersed campers.”Hannah G. via Google Reviews Great Sand Dunes

Solar powered off grid experience. we booked the signature site that held three tents. It has a kitchen with pump water that was easy to use, a grill and propane two top burner and counter. Shaded. so fun! Kids loved it. So did my wife and I .”
