Site was super private and the overlook view was great! Camp host Steven was incredibly helpful and friendly. Enjoyed every night we stayed here

Beautiful views! Best tent camp site I’ve had in a while. Sites were relatively far apart and pit toilets were very clean.

This was an amazing campground. Spectacular views, very clean, private sites, very friendly hosts, larger than average firewood bundles. Easy walk to the overlook with views all the way across the canyon.

This site was very beautiful and had stellar views of Ouray! We camped at site 35. It’s cash only, which we didn’t have, but the host was kind and held the site for us while we went back down to town to use the ATM. We had a fire despite the rain earlier in the day and enjoyed our s’mores as small animals like a mouse and chipmunk scurried near us. In the morning, a beautifully songbird and a deer joined us for breakfast.

Questions & Answers

How cold will it be at night around the end of September? (Approximately)

We only camped there once at the end of September right before closing. We had a Volkswagen EuroVan so we used the heater inside, which consequently drained our battery! There was frost on the ground in the morning when we got around to asking the camp host for a jump start, so it must have been below freezing. If I had to guess, I would say lows between 25-35 F.

What size are the Tent Pads? Trying to figure out if a 10 or 12 person tent will fit?

Paul Gill | Jul 14, 2020
Zach Bisek | Jul 15, 2020

I would say the spot we had was 10'x15'. Probably could fit an 8 person tent at the most

Are there showers at the Amphitheater Campground? Also anywhere in town to do some laundry if needed?

There are no services other than toilets at the amphitheater campground. You might get lucky and stop by an rv park in Ouray for a quick shower and a load of laundry

Wondering how likely it is to get a walkup camp site? Planning a last second trip and wasn't sure if there would be any possibility

Brandi Ray | May 11, 2019

Your chances are ok if it's a weekday and you arrive before noon. If it's a summer weekend, your chances are slim.
