Convenient to Ouray but limited options.
We camped in the last spot before you get to Dexter Creek Trail. Roads are easy to this point and there are about 7 potential spots with most of them on the side of the road.
We were told that the road gets more technical past Dexter but there is more room for dispersed camping above tree line if you have the vehicle to make it up. Only 3-4 of them are off the road.
Our spot was just a 10 minute drive to downtown Ouray so very close.
