▶︎ Ranger Review: Green Goo Outdoor Travel Pack at Sand Dunes Swimming Pool & RV Park, CO
Campground Review
What a cool place to cool off near the Sand Dunes. There are plots for RVs as well as tents. The campground hasn't been open more than a year and a half, and some areas are still taking shape and overall the campsite is still figuring itself out. While some sites are well established, there's a decent amount of open flat land people were camping on as well. This place used to be a tilapia farm and there's still some pools around the place with large fish. There are a few ponds with frogs too, which is cool, but also means pack the earplugs as these guys are an alarm clock you can't snooze in the AM.
The main attraction of this place for families has to be the pool, which also has a basic restaurant with grill food that's reasonably priced. There's also a separate adult only area within the pool rec center called The Green Room which has a bar and various temperature level hot tubs, a wading pool, and a sauna.
There is also a basketball court, coin operated showers and laundry, water hook ups, and electric hookups.
What's a little awkward about this place (as of May 2017) is the showers are a combo shower/toilet room, and there are two of them to service this whole camp when the pool rec area is closed (10pm-10am). There was another single service bathroom around the back of the rec building, but not well marked. While there are 2 port-o-potties (well maintained, to their credit), they would do well to add more facilities for the growing campground space, especially since checkout is 11am so most people want to use the bathrooms before they hit the road.
Gear Review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products from time to time - today I am testing the Outdoor Travel Pack ( from Green Goo. Inside the plastic carry case (probably a good airport toiletry bag when these things get used up) it comes with two lip balms, some bug spray repellent, and two different salves - a pai...

Landing at Hooper, CO (PVT) for a dip in the Sand Dunes Pool (HD)
This is a very cool place to visit if you get a chance. The airstrip is located on private property and you must call in advance to get permission. The Sand Dunes pool exceeded my expectations and the atmosphere, pool, service, food is terrific! Must see!
The airstrip is hard packed and fairly smooth, parking is located at the far west end near the road. DO NOT land on the airstrip without permission and if farmers are working in the field.

FREE CAMPING NEAR THE GREAT SAND DUNES! (AND EXPLORING MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK)
➝ This Episode:
We are loving our time in Colorado! We start off this episode exploring Great Sand Dunes National Park and then head back to camp to show you a great free camping spot we found on Campendium. We stayed at San Luis State Wildlife Area and get this, we had free 50 amp hookups! They have a dump station on site as well but no water hookups. Not bad for free! We moved to Mesa Verde National Park next and had an absolute blast running around this park. It's safe to say it jumped into our top three National Parks! Jason also upgraded the control panels for our air conditioners; now we're able to control them remotely!
