"Best location to camp near Ouray as the hiking (right off the campground) is amazing! Close drive into town. Sites are nice. Some closer together than others. It gets busy so make reservations."

"AVOID THE BOULDERS IN THE ROAD, will scratch car, do a diagonal dance up the path and you’ll be fine.
I drive up in a sedan and almost made all the way to the lake."

"Nestled in a valley with beautiful view next to Uncompahgre River with wonderful walking path. Gravel parking right off hwy 550. Laundry, showers, restaurant."
"Need more than 2 days to explore everything, Million Dollar Highway, Trials, Ouray itself!! So many things to do. Box Canyon…..so much. Excellent foodie town!"
"It's right next to the town and is used a lot for Telluride's summer festivals. Its more than a campground it is also where a lot of town events are held and also has sports venues."
"The campground is bordered on one side by the San Juan River and by the park on the other side, making a tight but nice campground."
$28 - $90 / night
"The site was big and a real short walk from the car. It was nice that the road didn't go next to the campsite like usual so it cut down on noise."
"We were in site 123 which didn't have a great view, but plenty of space around and behind us to stretch out. "

"This little place is on the outskirts of Ouray, tucked into the base of the mountain (perimeter trail actually has an access point at the park)."
"This park is within walking distance of Ouray’s most popular sight seeing. It’s only a few blocks from breweries, restaurants, and just down the road from the town hot springs!"
"Primitive camping right outside outside Ouray Colorado. Imogene pass trail ends at the campground entrance. Trail into campground is a little rough but that's primitive camping."
"It is close to Ouray but far off the grid, June is the month to go... All of the campsites are right on and or close to the water... LOTS of wildlife and deer....Did I mention the mountain views..."
"It wasn’t hard to get up the mountain and only 20 mins away from the Ouray. Stayed close to this runoff stream that was suitable for a group walk in campsite."
"Right next to Dexter Creek, the sound of the creek was very calming through the night! Definitely need 4wd, and it’s quite rocky so I wouldn’t recommend rent camping."
$36 / night

"A great eat location to call home while exploring the area. Nice views at camp. Clean restrooms and showers!"
LegendViews are stunning!! Best location to camp near Ouray as the hiking (right off the campground) is amazing! Close drive into town. Sites are nice. Some closer together than others. It gets busy so make reservations. Host was attentive.
GuideCamping here was nice. Limited trees so summer can be rough in direct sunlight. Sites are okay size wise. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean. Very pretty area. Park staff were super friendly. 5 min from Ridgeway, 25 from Ouray, 45 from Telluride.
GuideThe best thing about this park was the location. It is located close to Ouray and many activities in the area. The park also offers beautiful scenery and it is a wonderful Basecamp for exploring the area. There is a state park nearby with a beautiful lake and kayaking. There are hiking trails nearby and many wonderful off road four wheel trails.
The park can accommodate big rigs and we were able to get our 38 foot 5’er into the parking and into a spot, but I would not call the park big rig friendly due to tight turns and small sites.
Amenities include a nice camp store, laundry facilities, restaurant with a nice outdoor deck, on property horseback riding, on property jeep rental, hiking trails. There were bathrooms and showers at the back of the property but it was too far to walk from the front of the property so we never used them. The laundry facilities are a little small for this sized park and we weren’t able to do laundry because it was too busy.
One big problem was electrical outages during 100° weather. The electrical system in the park just cannot keep up. Luckily we had solar and were able to maintain AC until evening hours.
There is one small hot tub that was usually very busy we didn’t use that either.
There are nice tent camping spots.
Most of the people in the park Had four wheelers or motorcycles for off-road trails. The off-road trails in this area are amazing and shouldn’t be missed. We took a tour from Ouray and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We took a horseback ride from the park and had a lovely time. The horses were very safe and great for a family experience. They also offer 15 minute rides for children.
We would stay again if we were in the area.
GuideOur family vacation destination- would provide 6 stars if a could. Main features- pool, great family play areas, huge lots and shaded lots- not really a bad spot. Pond, 2 Acre dog park- beautiful sites and quick drive to town or off-road. We stayed here twice because a bad experience in Silverton
RangerThis campsite is great if you want to do Telluride on a budget - it's free. It's right next to the town and is used a lot for Telluride's summer festivals. Its more than a campground it is also where a lot of town events are held and also has sports venues. There's also grills, bathrooms, picnic tables, a dog park, and a pond. Unless you're at a festival, the campground isn't where you will want to spend your time though. The campground is very close to Bridal Veil Falls, a huge free fall waterfall. You can drive or hike up to it, and climb around on the rocks and get blasted by cold water from the falls. It's huge. There's also a bunch of awesome hikes around Telluride - the San Juans are my favorite part of Colorado.
GuideWe usually boondock, but stopped here for a change. Great sites, lovely staff, dog park, great BBQ, band at night ... really a top notch KOA.
TravelerSpent two nights to rest and relax after crossing Red Mountain Pass during snow storm. Enjoyed bathrooms, showers and dog park (2 acres). Camp hosts were especially friendly and helpful. Spent time at Durango Hot Springs too! Make sure you go!
GuideI avoid campgrounds because most feel like parking lots. Not this one! Large grassy area in the center for kids to play, pavilion with live music plus group fire pits to sit around in the large swing seating. Two small dog parks with seating and shade. Seating near the river for guests to sit and chill. Every site has gas grills, fire wood and fire pits at no additional cost. Staff is amazing and the grounds are spotless. Definitely recommend. We have a 26ft. C class and 2 dogs.
TravelerWe spend three days here between some disperse camping in the region and could not say enough good things. The staff were extremely friendly, this sites were clean, dog park great, river amazing, and location to Montrose perfect.
The laundry rooms was clean with new equipment.
The Wifi was five stars which is rare in most RV parks. Super fast speeds.
We will be back!
