The campground and campsite were great. Gorgeous scenery. It was chilly and rainy nearly the whole time I was there, but that's not the fault of the campground. If the weather had been better, it would have been an excellent vacation. The camp hosts were delightful and helpful. The water was very convenient, and the facilities were spotless. High marks, except for the weather!

Where this campsite is situated is just outstandingly stunning. Sites are flat, spacious and well spaced out from one another. All sites are in beautiful surrounds. Easy short drive to Ouray town for eating out or shopping needs. Facilities are basic (drop toilets, no showers), however they are kept very clean.

Very nice campground. Quiet, well-maintained and well-located. Most sites are fairly private and the restrooms are clean. The windy road up the hill from Ouray filters out excessively large recreational vehicles.
