Backpack and/or just camp in Sand Dunes National Park.

You have to read these directions to know what you want to do down there. There are options.
We are going to have a drive-in campsite down there in the Oasis campground. It's a commercial campground on the right just before you enter the Park. Great Sand Dunes Oasis. The cost is $33/night for two people. $3 for each additional person. So your cost will depend on how many people stay in the Oasis campsite after the backpackers leave there on Friday morning. Your $15 deposit pays for the first two nights in the Oasis Campground.

For people wanting to backpack, we have a back-country site reserved for the nights of the 16th and 17th. We will come back out and drive home on Sunday the 18th. Our site is Indian Grove. It's one of the best back-country sites I have ever stayed in. We stayed there two years ago. It's right off of the dunes and beside a strong creek. There is even a privy there. The hike to the campsite is just over 4 miles. But it is sandy.

I'm setting the limit at 12 persons. But we can only have 5 backpackers. The rest will be staying in the Oasis Campground.
