4 J + 1 + 1 Campground
Overview
4 J + 1 + 1 Campground is a family-owned and operated destination that has welcomed travelers to the heart of the San Juan Mountains for decades. Known for its friendly atmosphere, this park offers a quintessential Ouray experience where the rugged beauty of the "Switzerland of America" meets historic small-town charm. The park provides a clean, well-maintained base for exploring the high-altitude wonders of Western Colorado without sacrificing proximity to modern conveniences.
Location & Surroundings
The park is uniquely situated just two blocks from Ouray's historic Main Street, making it one of the most walkable RV parks in the region. Bordered by the scenic Uncompahgre River and Oak Creek, the campground is surrounded by towering red rock cliffs and jagged peaks. The sounds of the rushing water and the sight of local deer often grazing near the sites create a serene mountain environment, even while being steps away from downtown shops and restaurants.
Amenities & Park Features
Guests can choose from a variety of sites equipped with full hookups, including 30 and 50-amp electricity, water, and sewer. To keep you connected, the park offers cable TV and Wi-Fi access at most sites. On-site facilities include a clean bathhouse with hot showers and a convenient laundry room for long-term travelers. While individual wood fires are not permitted due to local safety regulations, the park features a playground for children and well-spaced gravel sites that accommodate various rig sizes.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure is just steps away from your rig. You can easily walk to the famous Ouray Hot Springs Pool for a therapeutic soak or explore the dramatic waterfall at Box Cañon Falls Park. The town is a world-renowned hub for off-roading, with several Jeep rental shops located within blocks. For hikers, the Ouray Perimeter Trail offers a stunning loop around the city with breathtaking overlooks, and it is easily accessible directly from the campground area.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is ideal for active RV travelers who prefer to leave the keys behind and explore on foot. It is a fantastic choice for families seeking a safe, friendly environment that places them near local ice cream shops and parks. Because of its central location, it perfectly suits those who want to balance rugged wilderness exploration with easy access to the breweries and boutiques of downtown Ouray.

Christy Sharkey
We absolutely loved this campground. You will not have to”the space to yourself” as this is located conveniently off the Main Street. Which everything in Ouray is walkable, so location was incredible. We came in early October and the bears were active. Two of the three nights we were awoken by them sniffing around our van. Bathrooms are very clean and laundry is nice and large. We will 💯 be coming back to this place. The hot springs are located a short 5-7 min walk, all stores and restaurants are all walking distance.

Our first trip to try out sprinter van/rv camping and this campground provided a great experience! We stayed 2 nights. It was great hospitality and great service. Clean space and amenities. Peaceful and beautiful locations just blocks and walking distance to Main Street. We highly recommend staying here.

Great little spot to park up the root too tent it rv. Full hookups, electric awesome. Bathrooms are clean and showers are clean. All this and it’s right in Ouray AND you can literally take a short walk to the springs from the grounds.

We had a great stay. Staff was very friendly and our spot was perfect. The view, the campground, the restaurant and the hospitality was top notch. We will stay here again. The only complaint I could even have is that other campers need to pickup the poo after their pets. That was a little disappointing to see so much of.

This is a great park due to the location near downtown Ouray. You can easily walk to Main St or the main Hot Springs within minutes. Staff is friendly and the park, restrooms and showers were clean. We stayed 5 nights and it's a good central location to many activities. Maybe 5 minutes to Box Canyon and 35 minutes to Silverton on the Million Dollar Highway. Downside is lots are all rock and you're packed in super tight. Only a few sites have a fire ring, otherwise you need to bring your propane one. Some spots were all shaded and some were all sun. Would stay again if we wanted to hang out in Ouray.
