Handy spot, but very noisy and dusty

This site is very accessible and has tons of spots. It also seems to be the closest place to legally disperse camp south of Ouray. However, there's a ton of road noise from both the highway and the unpaved roads used to access campsites. Conditions were also very dusty from traffic on the unpaved roads. Lastly, it's tough to find private areas to pee that are also a safe distance away from the creek. Nice views, though!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Amazing view and right along the creek. Spaces were tight and very close to others. A bit noisy with the ATVs and motorcycles all around, but not too bad.
