Pleasantly Surprised!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Campground. We came along this location when all the campgrounds in Ouray were full, this one was only 7 minutes away in Ridgeway. It had every amenity you could need: full hookups, clean restrooms with toilets and showers that take quarters. They offer a laundry room as well as a clubhouse with free coffee and beverages. They also had a nice area for grilling and hanging out with your group. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Location and Atmosphere

We had an amazing stay at Basecamp 550. The campground’s location is perfect, with easy access to Ouray, Montrose, Telluride, and other nearby areas. The amenities were excellent, including quarter-operated hot showers and laundry, restrooms, Wi-Fi, full hookups, and a clubhouse with coffee + tea, kitchen access, and a great workspace. Our site had a beautiful view and was right next to a ranch where cows would come right up to the fence. The communal fire pit was a nice touch, and the private, fenced-in setting made us feel safe and comfortable. They also offer glamping tents and casitas on the property. Highly recommend!
