Gravel roads wind through this in-town RV park where sites pack closely together beneath towering cliffs at the base of the San Juan Mountains. The Uncompahgre River flows directly behind many campsites, creating constant water sounds that mask some of the traffic noise from the internal gravel road that cuts through the property.
Full hookups accommodate RVs up to 50 feet, though the tight spacing means awnings and slide-outs require careful positioning. Steve D. notes "spots are a bit cramped but absolutely gorgeous with the river running right behind." Tent sites cluster in a more wooded section with additional tree cover and slightly more separation. The park sits in early shadow due to the surrounding cliffs, which provides natural cooling during hot summer days.
Two blocks separate campers from Ouray's main street restaurants, breweries, and the town hot springs. The Ouray Perimeter Trail has an access point directly from the campground, connecting to hiking routes that climb the surrounding peaks. Bathroom facilities draw consistent praise for their size and cleanliness, while the playground and laundry facilities add convenience for families. WiFi service proves unreliable, though cellular coverage generally works throughout the property.
Reservations help secure riverside spots during peak summer months when the park fills with large RVs and fifth wheels. The internal gravel road sees regular traffic as campers move in and out, with some vehicles exceeding the posted 14 mph speed limit. Tony M. mentions "all you hear are loud trucks on the gravel road all night," though most traffic quiets after dark.
For a quieter alternative with more space between sites, Ouray Riverside Resort sits just north of town along the same river corridor.
