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.
