Unfortunately for us it was not a swimming lake. It is for fishing, kayaking. In any case, it was just gorgeous. There was many campsites that you can reserve online but since we just decided to go on a whim, we got a first come first serve campsite. I believe there are 10 of them available. As of right now, the restrooms are open and well maintained. The camping area was very clean and we ended up in a great spot and just had a great time. Campsite #20 sold batches of wood for guests convenience but you can also cut your own wood if you chose to do so. Also for those that like to drink, alcohol was allowed as well as campfires. And if you happen to forget anything there is a Liquor store 15-20 minutes away.

I'm not sure where the money goes This campground earns because they sure don't put it into the upkeep of their grounds. Deteriorating picnic tables, burned out campfire rings, dirty exterior of cabins, broken patio furniture, dock with uneven curling boards, dog poop everywhere along the river.... the bridge crossing over to the tent side of the campground seemed to be stable. And several mornings there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, also not sure why you would want to carpet a campground bathroom, but there is carpet . Highway 50 runs right next to the campground so you hear traffic, the river is beautiful and clean. I would seek another campground in the area before I stayed at Sweetwater again

And the sunsets.....stunning! The campsite itself is very clean. There are vault toilets which we didn't use due to having an RV, so I cannot speak to those. There are no dump stations or amenities, but when you come prepared you don't need that. Definitely come prepared because the nearest store is Alamosa. We absolutely would come back and stay here!

Amazing!!! Very hot. Beautiful setting. Safe area. We will definitely return. Beautiful clean river.read more

Rustic? That's a stretch... but I loved it anyway…read more Had a great time at Dakota Hot Springs, but when they say "rustic," that might be giving it a little too much credit. Think more "DIY charm with deferred maintenance." Only one of the two showers in the men's bathroom worked, and the outdoor shower looked like it had retired early. The shade cloth overhead was thin, ripped, and flapping in the wind like it was waving a white flag. That said, the water itself? Perfect. The big pool stayed at a great temp, and if you wander into the "lobster pot," prepare to boil yourself like you're on the menu--it's hot hot. Lots of room to spread out and catch sun, which was a big plus. Now, the real warning: dusk. When the sun dips, the mosquitoes come out like they've been fasting for weeks. I heard it's thanks to the stagnant dump water nearby, and they make sure you know they're there. Pro tip: bring bug spray or plan your exit before happy hour for the skeeters. All in all--quirks, flapping tarps, and dive-bombing mosquitoes included--I'll definitely be back. Just don't come expecting "spa chic." This is a hot springs with character (and a sense of humor).

Owners and folks very nice and helpful. Our spot had a huge cotton wood that gave us afternoon shade. Very quiet. Several groups came in for the weekend. A couple were flying their political flag. Most places don't allow that anymore. And a lot of people walking thru the middle of your camp. The Golden Rule y'all. Forgot to add bright night lights various places around the park. What happened to Dark skies???

Yet, getting into & out of the truck was treacherous due to the drop offs on the sides. The tall, unmowed grass was deceiving & falling down hill was a real concern. They locked hot tub, the guest had to request them to unlock it -- feels creepy. Admittedly, I had to change my reservation due to grandbaby's early arrival & I made a mistake. However, I caught it, called them, rather than adding the extra days to current reservation--they made a new one. When I arrived, I pointed this out. Yet, I had to check out & recheck back in. I didn't have to move camping sites -- so that was a plus. We've stayed at many KOAs this one seems to have no pride of ownership. Honestly, for a Holiday KOA we were not thrilled, & would not recommend.

The sites were level, paved, and easy to access, with some trees offering a bit of shade and privacy. The hookups were easy to get to, which made setup quick and simple. The staff was super friendly and welcoming -- they even escorted us to our site and let us know their hours in case we needed anything. It's a peaceful, well-run KOA that made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Highly recommend this location!

The massive dunes set against the surrounding mountain range create spectacular views unlike anything else in Colorado. The visitor center was well maintained, with clean restrooms, an informative museum, and had a short film highlighting the dune ecosystem. There is also a large gift shop, though prices were on the higher side. While I would not consider it a destination on its own, it is absolutely worth a stop if you're traveling through this part of the state. Note: No vehicles of any type are allowed on the dunes.

It's a bit of a smaller park in terms of trails and not going to be like RMNP so make sure you know what you're getting into. We planned our trip for May when the creek is usually flowing and the dunes are optimal for sledding. Unfortunately for us we hit a patch of bad weather and it was drizzling our whole day spent here. Additionally the park is experiencing a dry spell and the creek that is usually flowing in May was still dry. C'est la vie! We still had a blast climbing the dunes, letting the kids play in the sand, and taking in the views. To be honest the views are the best part - it's incredible to see these dunes and learn more about the history of the landscape in this region of Colorado. We didn't get to sled as the conditions were not ideal for it but we plan on someday returning and doing the full experience. If you're on the fence about coming here it's well worth a visit!
