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.

Beautiful campground high above Ouray. Well spaced sites with lots of privacy. Great view of Ouray from site 10. Also there are many trails that begin in the campground which is very convenient. Getting there is no joke though. We missed an entire night of camping due to a rockslide covering 550.

Super attentive camp hosts. Beautiful scenery. Very peaceful. Wonderful perimeter hike around Ouray passing next to campground. The Upper Cascade falls was a strenuous but worthwhile hike - right from the campground . Fun hiking down to town and back up to campground.

My fiance and I arrived later in the evening on a very rainy day, the campground host was out and about on his golf cart and immediately showed us to our site - he was very helpful! And what a sight the site was - site 6 to be exact. The site itself was very well maintained, with great views over the valley that Ouray is nestled into. Despite the rain we had a great evening, neighbors were very friendly - and not too close. Our only regret is that it was booked up so we couldn't stay more than one night! Will definitely be back someday soon.

The location is beautiful. Ouray is a great place to visit. But, what made our visit the best was the campground host. They stopped by when we checked in to see if we needed anything. They even offered to loan us some leveling blocks for our motorhome. We were four wheeling with our jeeps and they would want to know how the experience was and gave us advice on where we might want to go to experience the best of Ouray four wheeling.
I have been staying at national forest campgrounds for the last 45 years and never had such a nice experience.

We camped in the tent loop, site 13 and also hung out with our friends in site 14. I would have rated Amphitheater at a 5, but the stench from the bathrooms got very bad during the heat of the day. Fortunately, the smell was not too bad in the early morning. Otherwise, great campground with a friendly host and fantastic views!
