I can’t say enough about this place and its staff. They kept me updated before my arrival about the status of my room and being able to check in. Check in was easy and they provided a lot of information on the area. The room was very clean, cute, and accommodating. I had questions though out my stay and the people working there answered all of them and made suggestions and it was all great. Even if you don’t have a room or RV site the river is just a few steps away. The store has everything you would need and things you didn’t think you would need or want. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and if I get a chance to get out that way again that’s the only place I’ll stay!

What a wonderful experience! We stayed here while visiting our good friend Paula who moved from NC to Ouray. Paula is also helping manage the Smokehouse Restaurant (which is a must for dinner and brunch). The location is perfect as well as beautiful - walkable to downtown and hot springs. The convenience store on the property has a great selection of snacks and necessities. We stayed in one of the riverside cabins -- quiet and well appointed accommodations. We are looking forward to visiting again very soon! Keary and Donald - Charlotte NC

Ismael, Austin, Harry and a team of other staff whose names I missed made this our third awesome visit to Ouray Riverside Resort. The RV spaces, flowers and landscaping, dining, staffing, laundry, grounds, bathrooms, check-in and out experiences were all top notch. THIS is how I’d run this business- well done! The owners are obviously good folks to work with as they have amazing staff and procedures and service criteria that make EVERY aspect excellent. We’ll be back for a fourth visit next year. Thank you!

I'm writing this review just because Liz & Dean were so amazing and kindest people ever :') I didn't actually stay here but came here multiple times for various reasons while boondocking not too far from Ouray. The first time I came to dump my tanks and I was a bit nervous about backing up my rig since that's my least favorite part and so Dean came out and guided me. He is heaven sent :') Liz said I was welcome to stay until a certain time to use the showers and laundry facility and even hook up my rv if needed. Unfortunately I needed to hurry off to my boondocking spot before it got too late and so she kindly accommodated me and let me come back the next day 🥺 A nice hot long shower is always so appreciated when living on the road. :') The shower & laundry area was great too. We came back a couple other times to do laundry again and fill up propane. I just really love people like them, their energy is so kind and pure. I would've stayed here if I wasn't on a budget. Also, Harry and another young boy working there with glasses and blonde hair (forgot his name :/) were super helpful too. On my way out of Ouray, I stopped by because I smelled a burning smell coming from my tires. They explained so thoroughly that it was my brakes and that was common coming down from the mountain where I was. They even showed me how to change my gears which I had no idea where the button was for that. Thank you to the amazing staff here for always being willing to help and for being so kind! :')

Liz and Austin were our office representatives and they were both excellent and very friendly. Harry one of the maintenance guys was extremely helpful multiple times. Beautiful setting for the campground and we would go back. another maintenance man who was very helpful as well. It was nice and quiet and dark promoting good rest at night they have washers and dryers and a small game room, decent bathrooms and showers. Everything was kept nice and clean, including the grounds. Thank you very much Riverside Resort Ouray Colorado. Rich and Rose.
