Nice campground with very pit toilets. Road in campground is extremely narrow and has sharp curves. It’s not for large motor homes or trailers. Sites not very level. Steve and Dave were excellent hosts.

This campground is always clean, outhouses are clean, the sites are always nicely groomed when we arrive, the area and views are stunning! The thing that makes it really great is the camp hosts, Steve and Lori Jonker and Dave and Nancy!! They are so friendly and super helpful all the time! Give them a raise!

Site 23 is right in the middle of the campground but still felt private, and very quiet. There are great views and hiking from the campground. Highly recommend Amphitheater Campground/ site 23 if you're in Ouray & looking to be close to the Million Dollar Highway. Our group can't wait to return.

Site 11 has fantastic views and good shade. Very limited camping areas in Ouray so it’s a challenge to book this campground. Beautiful area. The downside is the stench from the dilapidated vault toilets. They really should replace them.
