Zapata Falls Campground

Great views, away from it all

There are no frills at Zapata Falls--no hook-ups, no hosts, and only vault toilets. But you don't plan a trip to this campground for the amenities: you plan a trip for the views (and proximity to Great Sand Dunes National Park). On these points, Zapata Falls doesn't disappoint. The drive up to the campground is long and steep, but once you arrive, it's worth it. We could see for miles from our campsite. 

The sites were mostly pretty private. We really couldn't see anyone from our site but like most of the sites at this campground, it was situated tight against the road, so you do see folks when they walk or drive by. I wouldn't plan another trip just to come back to this campsite but would definitely consider it if we were in the area again.
