Private operators manage Ouray KOA from May through September, positioning this established campground as a base for exploring Colorado's San Juan Mountains. The property accommodates RVs up to 80 feet with full hookups and provides both drive-in and walk-in access options.
A creek runs through the campground, with several sites backing directly to the water. Colleen notes her site was "in amongst the trees, backed by a rapidly running creek with views of snow capped mountains." The layout includes both open gravel sites and wooded areas with varying levels of privacy. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with complimentary firewood delivery available via text service.
On-site amenities include a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner with live music most evenings, though food prices run high for the area. Bachelors Stables operates from the back of the property, offering horseback rides ranging from 15-minute children's rides to longer trail experiences. The campground also provides jeep rentals for exploring local four-wheel-drive routes. A small hot tub, laundry facilities, and camp store round out the amenities, though the store functions primarily as a gift shop.
The electrical system struggles during peak summer heat, with some campers experiencing outages during 100-degree weather. WiFi connectivity remains unreliable throughout the property. The campground charges additional fees beyond the nightly rate, including resort fees and site selection charges that some visitors find excessive. "Most of the people in the park had four wheelers or motorcycles for off-road trails," observes one reviewer, reflecting the property's appeal to OHV enthusiasts.
For a more budget-friendly alternative closer to town, campers might consider Ouray Roadside Parking with basic amenities and direct downtown access.
