Walking or fishing along the Uncompahgre River is accessible directly from camp, with the water running just a few feet from where rigs park. The site is a wide gravel berm with pull-offs on both sides, one facing the river and one backed against rock walls. No amenities exist here beyond the river itself. Noise from road traffic continues into the evening, and some spots sit in the direct path of vehicles rounding nearby curves, so placement matters. Campers with Verizon can expect a light signal. Those exploring camping near Ouray who want a free-standing alternative with more separation from traffic may find Dexter Creek Road Dispersed — Uncompahgre NF worth considering. This spot works best for self-contained rigs making a quick overnight stop.
