Spectacular Views

Stayed one night at this popular campground while passing through Ouray. Did not have a reservation, but the campground host, Steve, found us a good, level site for our campervan & got us registered. The site, #20, was near the end of the road leading to the overlook, and across the road from the vault toilets & water station. Small site but very private. Firewood was available for $8/bundle. Short walk to the overlook which provided a great view of Ouray below. The high cliffs around the campground were spectacular. The site had a table, lantern poll, metal fire ring and tent pad. No electric & water hookups. Unfortunately, I don't recall if we had any AT&T or T-Mobile service. Some of the campsites were somewhat close together, but couldn't see them through the foliage. The only negative at site #20 was an occasional chemical smell from the vault toilets across the road. The vault toilets themselves were clean. The site itself was also clean & well maintained; e.g., the tent pad was ranked. I feel that this campground is not suitable for big rigs; posted signs along the access road provide warnings.
