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 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!
