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.

Such a beautiful spot! The camp host was so friendly and helpful with ideas of where to go and what to see. Our campsite was the best one in the whole campground, so we really lucked out! Bears did show up near us at another campsite , and the chipmunks got into our food so beware.

This campground is so unique! Close to town but secluded enough to feel remote. The trails that surround the campground are easily marked and varied for all types of hikes. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. The cleanliness of the toilets, group spaces and sites were a testament to their dedication to making Amphitheater Campground special.
