Book it early or get there on a Wednesday or Thursday morning, because this gem fills up fast for good reason. Ideally located within a short drive above Ouray, and within a few short walking miles from the Via Ferrata, this place is excellent. The staff are friendly, present, approachable and knowledgeable, with gentle reminders of bear habits within the surrounding forest, as well as local tips to the area.

Great location as it's close to the Ouray town. Very friendly and helpful hosts! I was also so impressed by how well they maintain the restrooms. Drinking water also available. Overall a very quiet campground but it will be a little bit noisy for the sites near the restrooms. Bring some cash for the payment. There are also large dumpsters right outside the campground. You'll just have to pack everything out.

Great campground, first come first served only. Water spigot is plentiful, bathrooms are clean but sometimes gets smelly. David & Nancy are wonderful host. During our stay, passing storms came upon us & definitely made our night wet & chilly & also gave us a good show of the thunderstorm.

The campsite is well organized. Steve does a great job as its guardian. He found us a nice spot and we were able to fit 2 vans in only one spot. The cost was 28$. The restrooms are very basic and there are no showers. Each site is equipped with a metal pit for the fire. Recommended.

Had an amazing 3-night stay at Amphitheatre Campground! Each site I stayed in had its own charm, and the views were incredible. Huge shoutout to the camp hosts—David, Steve, and Nancy—who were so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Their hospitality made the experience even better. I kept extending my stay because it was just that good. Can’t wait to come back!
