I am a DJ with Gunnison Valley Entertainment. We DJ’d a wedding at Ridgeway State Park this summer, and it was such a beautiful setting! The views were incredible, there was easy access to the sidewalks, and the whole location made for a truly special and beautiful moment. Highly recommend this spot for a memorable wedding!

This place has the views! This reservoir is large and plenty of room for paddleboards and boats. You can easily find a place to park and spread out your stuff and take in the views. There's also a bike path that connects into town.

Beautiful park! But after driving 6+ hours, we expected a “Welcome!” and got more of a “Show me your parking pass.”😠 I’m pretty sure our pass made a better impression than we did.

Great state park campground, very well kept with space in between spots for some privacy.

This is such a beautiful campground and state park. We were here in September and the weather was perfect and the park wasn’t very crowded. We enjoyed all the trails around the campground, especially around the fishing pond. I would also highly recommend the Enchanted Mesa Trail. From here, you can see incredible views of the mountains all around and the reservoir below. There is also an area in the middle of the campground to hang your hammock, which was a nice amenity. The bathrooms are well maintained and check in was easy. We’ll definitely be back here to stay again!

Camped two nights in our class b camper van with our two doggies and it was a beautiful campground. The campground has some nice short trails for walking the dogs. The views were amazing of the Reservoir. The sites were clean and so were the shower rooms. The campground is close to town. There were a lot of deer at this campground. I will definitely revisit this place.

We stayed in the yurt during the hot summer month of July. Great news! Air conditioner in the yurt! Our campground host brought over a hammock to use since hammocks are not allowed to be tied to ANY tree in ANY state park. Love the solution! Positioned well within the state near a national park (Gunnison) and loads of hiking trails. We drove into Ouray and up the million dollar highway to Silverton for the jaw dropping views and white knuckle ride. The kids had a lot of fun at the swim beach. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. We loved listening to the foxes at night. Thanks for a great time Ridgway! #COParksPassport

Visited this park for a few hours early October. This is an amazing find we just happened across as we we're heading toward Montrose from Ouray. Excellent views with lake, mountains, rolling hills all in one shot. Stopped by the visitor's center. Staff there was top notch answering questions about the park, but also about various Colorado sites. While the park is not huge, it is an exemplary example of why Colorado does tourism right!

We stayed at the Elk Ridge campground. Views from sites on the outer loop are amazing. Our site (123) came with a neat fire pit and grill. The campground was quiet. A steep trail leads down to the reservoir and more trails below. Cell service is excellent. Laundry is on site, with dryers running for one hour on $2. The town of Ridgway is just 5 miles away, and Ouray and Telluride are within beautiful drives.

Beautiful facility hoped to windsurf the lake. Camp sites are not directly located on the lake. Boat ramp surrounded by high bluffs in a narrow bay making windsurfing challenging. Ranger recommended the access down the road where cars can drive upon the beach. Unfortunately fall low water limited use of that area.

Absolutely love this Park. We spent four nights there and loved the views, the wildlife and the peaceful vibe of the campground. The restrooms were clean and the showers had great water pressure. Plenty of shade trees and the RV sites are easy to access. Highly recommend.

Ridgway State Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend the day! The $10 day use fee is well worth it for access to the stunning lake surrounded by mountain views. There's plenty of parking, and the park is very clean and well-maintained. We loved that you can swim, kayak, or paddleboard—either with your own gear or by renting directly at the lake. The water was clear and refreshing, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy nature, spend time on the water, or just take in the views. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back again. A true Colorado gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We camped here in our rig for a week and had a wonderful experience. The campgrounds are well kept with plenty of space between rigs. Fire rings, grills, and picnic tables are available at every site. Easy access to potable water, trash, and bathrooms. Even has laundry facility. Campground was quiet and has beautiful views of the night skies, the reservoir, and the mountains. There are a few trails to explore as well. The campground host was super friendly and helpful to our needs. We don’t often stay in campgrounds as we are boondockers, but this is definitely one of our faves. Great location to visit both Ouray and Montrose!
