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 hosts: Steve, Lori, David and Nancy are the best we’ve come across on our 5 weeks trip. Be sure to do the Ouray loop trail but be prepared it’s a workout.

This campground is a hidden gem. It’s beautiful and quiet, but still close to town. It’s clean and very well maintained.

Non view site except up mountainside. Friendly staff. Great location to town. Potty closest to site was absolutely rank by the time we left, maybe from someone leaving lid open overnight or needs to be pumped out.
