iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Campsite 5.8 on Medano Primitive Road in Great Sand Dunes National Preserve. 4WD and high clearance is required to get here. The road to get here is a rocky, slightly steep in places, and has nine water crossings.
This is one of 21 campsites spread across Medano Primitive Road. See the National Park Service website for more information.
NOTE: If you are traveling West to East on Medano Primitive Road then there is another 9 miles to go on CR 559 after you exit the National Preserve until you get to Highway 69 and the first couple miles is not much more roadlike than Medano Primitive Road itself.

Perfect place , well established with fire pits and bear box. The first spot was perfect as it was super windy and this place had many trees to cut most of it. But going past there are many other spots also great.
