Fabulous views of the Ouray area. Super clean, great camp host! Site 22 has a small shaded area but criminal views right up to the last ray of light. The road up looks intimidating but almost any rig can make the grade. Will return!

The hosts are very nice and keep a very clean campground. I would give them 5 stars. The toilets are horrible. You can smell them from 30' away. I bet the campground is grossing $20k a month in the summer. Come on Forest Service -- replace one a year with those new designs that do not smell. I give the toilets 0 stars. Add more spaces for campers there are too many people being turned away. Dead trees have been cut down which is fine, however could you you remove them rather that just leave then laying around!!

Great location. Clean park. Not good for RVs which is great for tent/car camping.
