After failing to score a site at the Great Sand Dunes National Park we headed to Zapata Falls campground where we also failed to get a site. A little worried I called San Luis Colorado State Park and they had availability! So we headed right there where we had our choice of prime sites.

Originally we only planned to stay one night so we chose a site that was only available for one night but in a prime location. The campground had level, widely spaced sites with good facilities. Electric was included for only $20.

The next day we decided to go back to the Sand Dunes so found another open site and reserved it for that evening.

I should mention that although this park says it is on a lake and in maps and such it shows a lake there is no water there at all, just dust bowl. The park personnel said that there had been no water for the last 4 yrs. However it is very close to the sand dunes and with the widely spaced sites and electric it was a deal for $20. We have the state park pass so I'm not sure what the park entrance fee was. I would stay there again.
