What Guests Are Saying
Amphitheater Campground is highly praised for its stunning views, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful camp hosts who enhance the overall experience. While the campground features tight roads and small sites, making it less suitable for larger RVs, it is ideal for tents and smaller trailers. Some guests noted the need for bear boxes and improvements to the pit toilets, but many expressed their eagerness to return due to the beautiful setting and access to hiking trails.

The campground is very conveniently located perched on the mountainside directly above Ouray. The campsites are large and the mountain views are great. Both Steve and David were the nicest, friendliest campground hosts we've ever encountered.

We reserved site 23 on a whim. It turned out to be not only the last site available but the best one in the campground. With nearly 360-degree views, including Ouray below and the San Juans above, it is one of the best places we’ve camped - period. The camp host was awesome, too. Can’t wait to come back.
