Dakota Terraces Campground — Ridgway State Park

I've. been visiting this area of Colorado since childhood so it has special meaning for me. We remember the area BEFORE there was a reservoir!  This campground doesn't disappoint!  Our site had a view of Courthouse Peak.  The area feels natural and sites are spaced out. We had water and electric.  There's a dump station on site.

We only had one night here, it was the last night of the season for our area and the next nights were full.

Popular campground likely requires advance reservations for peak season.

Nicely developed state park. Only 4 stars due to lack of a bike path from CGs to day use beach.

This is a large state park campground with a lot of activity. The sites are mostly spaced out from each other but not much for trees for privacy. The loops are great for bike riding and walking. The restrooms were clean during our visit, however, there was a water leak problem on our day of departure so the bathrooms were all closed. We had one encounter with the host who made a rude comment at !2:05 when we were still hooking up our trailer for departure. I know, we were a few minutes late, but rude comments are not necessary. 

This is a beautiful area for exploring, we always head down and explore Ouray. The reservoir is nice, just super windy so we couldn't paddle board during our visit.
