Welcome to Piñon Flats Campground
Many campsites have a view of the dunes and Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Piñon Flats is a National Park Service campground located one mile north of the Visitor Center. It is open April through October each year. (Also view Area Campgrounds, Medano Pass Primitive Road 4WD Camping, or Backpacking Options.) When Medano Creek is flowing, expect Loop 2 sites to be fully reserved and Loop 1 sites to be full by 11am every day of the week. On late May and early June weekends during peak flow, expect long lines of traffic, overflowing parking lots, and most campgrounds within 20 miles to be full. For a better experience in early summer, plan your visit on weekdays.
Loop 1: 44 first-come, first-served sites Loop 2: 44 reservable sites. Reserve through recreation.gov up to 6 months in advance, but at least 4 days in advance, for summer season dates May 3 through September 20, 2017. Loop 2 is first-come, first-served April 1 - May 2 and September 21 - October 31, 2017.
Loop 3: 3 Group Sites (A, B, and C). Reserve on recreation.gov up to a year in advance for 2017 season dates April through October.
