The Amphitheater campground, Ouray Colorado was created many years ago.This is a very rugged campground.Only pit toilets and not too many at that. It has very limited space for an rv or trailer. And can only accommodate a few very small ones at that! The so called handicap sites are very dangerous for the mobility challenged.
There is a bear problem that has been neglected by the DOW.The dumpsters are not strong bear proof ones and frequently become overfilled...which leads to trash & bear problems!
This campground is not for the inexperienced camper.

The campsite was a mess. Weeds everywhere. The fire pit was completely filled to the top. Won’t go back.

LOVED this campsite. The hosts were so friendly as were the other campers. It truly felt like a little green oasis up just above Ouray with beautiful sunsets at night. Thank you to the hosts!
