There need to be bear boxes. The campground is visited every night. Beautiful location. Major trails leave right from the campground. The hike to the "Scenic Overlook", which takes you up to the natural amphitheater the campground is named for, is low-moderate and a must.

Nice to get out of the heat for a bit. Very helpful hosts. The sites tend to be somewhat tight for even small RVs as the campground was built in the 50s when everyone tent camped.

We had a nice time enjoying the areas surrounding Ouray. It was a hot summer but fortunately at site 8 we had some good shade. We weren’t aware that we shared a parking area with site 9. This didn’t give us the privacy we were looking for. The other issue with our site is that you had the wafting smell of the bathroom, not very pleasant. I looked at all the other sites and really didn’t see a better one. They are close to one another. This is the price you pay for the great location of this campground.
The host was diligent and welcoming and the inside of the bathrooms were kept clean.

Unbelievably beautiful campsite. We were able to do several hikes right right from the campground, which was so cool. The views were unbeatable. The camp hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would 10 out of 10 recommend.
