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.

Wow! This is a stunning campground overlooking Ouray but also looking up at the San Juan range which is a jagged beauty that wraps right round you. The site was great. Vault toilets' needed sucking but that happens when the site is busy. We found a different block of toilets had less volume. The hosts tried to keep them clean as best they could while waiting on a full 'removal'. We walked/ran the Perimeter Trail which is about 8miles/12km and can be accessed from the bottom of the campsite (up Baby Bathtub Track). This was a wonderful way to explore the area. Afterwards we enjoyed the hot springs (and a hot shower) and then hit the town. What a wonderful spot! Ouray is such a special town.

Campground host was extremely helpful. Directed me to my campsite (which was kind of hard to find as directions on the sign were confusing). Views from the campsite were spectacular.

Besides being one of the more beautiful campgrounds I've stayed it (we had an incredible view at campsite #11), the staff was also extremely friendly. It was simple as pie booking on reservation.gov so that all we had to do was say hello to the campsite host.
