Wonderful campground with fantastic access to the dunes. Beautiful views all day and night. Flush toilets and clean bathrooms were a huge plus!

Great campground! Super easy access to the Sand Dunes. Peaceful and relatively quiet. Well-maintained camp sites and bathroom facilities. There was a trash bin specifically for kids' diapers in the women's room. There were lots of families and kids at the time we went, as well as several dogs! It is dog-friendly, too, and there are poop bags available. The camp sites are relatively close together, so you won't be isolated, but you will likely have neighbors close by. A few people arrived late at night, so probably expect some headlights and setup noise until later. There is a small campground store with essentials and you can also have firewood delivered to your campsite for an extra 5 bucks (or carry it out yourself). Note: There is a fee to enter the National Park, and this campground is inside the park, so you will need to pay the $25 (?) Or have a National Park Annual Pass ($80). If you enter the park after hours, you won't be charged the fee unless you leave and come back the next day.

The campground has no hook ups, and there are sites for RVs as well as tents. This is a good location to see the dunes, but that’s all that is here. I love to visit national parks, so I made my way to this one. However, this national park does not rank in the top 10 in my opinion.

The accessible campsites in Pinon Flats Campground are undergoing renovation to bring ADA sites into compliance with current standards. Renovations are set to start in August 2025. Sites will be opened if dates of construction change or as soon as construction has been completed. Thank you for your patience during these updates.

Amazing campsite! We didn’t have fire starters and the camp store had just closed. Thankfully the camp host came around and introduced themselves. She was really kind and offered to bring us fire starters from her own campsite. Then John, the camp store employee, showed up a little bit later to start our fire for us!! They were both so friendly and helpful. We stayed at campsite 2, in loop 1. We had a view of both the sand dunes and Mt Herard (?)
