One of my favorite escapes in Colorado has it all — car camping, glamping, RV camping, tent camping, or even a lodge stay. The Great Sand Dunes Recreation area is truly a hidden gem, and one of my absolute favorite places to unplug, explore, and have fun.

Just minutes from the Great Sand Dunes, yet a world away from reality, this campground offers something for everyone. There are 10 RV sites with water and electric, gravel tent sites that can easily be shared with a car camper like me, dry dock RV sites, and more remote tent sites for those wanting a quieter experience. Not into camping? No problem. There are also 3 cozy glamping cabins and a 10-guest cabin available.

And the best part? This place is home to a one-of-a-kind tropical escape that will absolutely blow you away. Imagine 10,000 square feet of lush plants, four soaking pools ranging from 98 to 111 degrees, indoor and outdoor patio space, and a dry sauna — all in an adults-only paradise. There is even a restaurant, The Steel Box Bar with a wide selection of beer and wine, and an upscale small plates menu.
I’m planning to head down on Thursday, with a stop in Buena Vista along the way.

Between wonderful hikes, ranger talks, waterfalls, and of course the dunes themselves, there is so much to enjoy. And honestly, if you have never rented a sled and flown down the sand dunes, you have to put that on your life list. It is equal parts thrilling, hilarious, and exfoliating.

I have secured T1, my favorite site, and I can host a tent if someone would like to share. There are also several spots available right next to me. You will need to make your own reservation, but we can carpool, share cooking, firewood, and enjoy the adventure together.

If you are new to camping, this is a wonderful opportunity to jump in and give it a try in a fun, supportive group setting.
