Tips

Piñon Flats Campground has 86 sites for individual tents, RVs or groups. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, food lockers and fire pits. Public restrooms are also available near the Dunes Overlook Trailhead. The campground has an amphitheater and provides access to the Wellington Ditch and Sand Ramp Trail. Because the campground is very popular, I recommend making reservations as early as possible through recreation.gov. The season begins in April and runs through October.
