Description
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.
Open area along 559 near the beginning of the Medano Pass 4wd Road.
I often see camper trailers here and there is at least one fire ring in the edge of the woods. There are both open grassy areas and places to park and tent along the woods.
Access from east via 2wd dirt road or 4wd Medano Pass Road from the west.
There are also some small sites along the 4wd road before the Pass and entrance to the Sand Dunes National Park.

Nice area with lots of campsites. Some clusters close to together but if you explore you can find some secluded ones. I saw one other truck and heard another in the day I was here so it’s really quiet. I wouldn’t recommend this road for anyone without high clearance 4x4. I attempted to cross to the dunes NP over 559 and I turned around in a modded 4Runner. I wouldn’t recommend trying to get to the park this way unless you’re an experienced off-roader in a very capable vehicle, not alone, AND it’s good weather.
