The campsite is in a scenic area of Ouray. It was nicely quiet, and the sites were spaced out well. The hosts were so kind and helpful. We felt well cared for, and they were so accommodating to our party of six. Loved having the bathrooms and water spouts close to the campsites.

Campsite was great, views were amazing and like no other (depends on which site # you were at) and the hosts were so nice! The host (Steve) was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the different hikes and off roading trails and gave great recommendations on things to do and see. Overall, campsite was well kept, in an excellent location, and an amazing view. Can’t wait to come back!

The views are amazing, the hosts are excellent. We have been coming here for over 20 years and it needs to have a few upgrades. We are considering not returning because the past few years the toilets have been horrible. Flies,fans not working etc. They are from the 70s. They are the worst toilets that we have experienced in all of our camping. They desperately need to be totally overhauled. It is a real shame because the views are amazing . The location is the best, we would live to come back but it needs tlc with all the use it gets.
