A Camp Spot by the Rio Grande Nobody Can Book Out From Under You

Hovenweep Trail runs right along this half acre, and the Rio Grande is about 650 feet away. It's flat desert ground in Rio Grande Ranches, south of San Luis, Colorado, with nothing between you and the Sangre de Cristos but sage. It's not a building lot. It's a camp spot that's yours every season, for anyone who's tired of reservation websites.

Ten Minutes From Colorado's Oldest Town, a Camp Spot of Your Own

Look north from this half acre and Blanca Peak fills the skyline, with nothing but sage and open valley in between. It's flat ground in Sangre de Cristo Estates, about ten minutes from San Luis, Colorado, close to eight thousand feet up. It's too small to build on, and it's a fine place to pitch a tent on dirt that's yours.

Your Own Ground on the Rio Grande, Short of a River Ranch Price

The Rio Grande runs about a thousand feet from this lot. Kaibab Trail, a graded dirt road, runs right along the south side, and the ground is flat sage and desert grass with the Sangre de Cristos on the horizon. It's camp ground in Rio Grande Ranches, south of San Luis, Colorado, for the angler who always figured river ground was for somebody else.
