It's 1 mile off the 5th and almost straight up. My f150 towed my 20 ft Kodiak but it was pushing it. I had to keep the pedal to the metal. Got one of the last spots that would fit my camper. Don't bring a big rig. Max 26ft it says. Steve the host was cool and helped get us set up. Real nice guy.

#32 is a ‘pull off to the side of the road’ site. It is en route to the trail head so there is some small amount of traffic but no actual campground traffic which is all on a loop below the site.
The pull off could accommodate two vehicles.
#32 is a first come site
The road up to the CG is a little windy and a little steep but paved so no issue if you take your time.
The hosts Dan and Steve were very friendly and helpful.
I was there on a Saturday night and there was no noise.

Views are stunning!! Best location to camp near Ouray as the hiking (right off the campground) is amazing! Close drive into town. Sites are nice. Some closer together than others. It gets busy so make reservations. Host was attentive. Can be noisy.

Pleasant campground nestled on a hillside above town. We had a pull through site which was fairly private. Some other sites have great views and less traffic.
Even though cell service looked fair (ATT and Verizon) we were rarely able to send or receive texts.
Some restrooms are old fashioned pit toilets, but the one near the camp host is much nicer.
Camp hosts were attentive and friendly.

This campground has great views! But, too many people crammed together on a hillside. Sites seem private because of brush in between sites but don't let it fool you! You can hear every cough, sneeze and snore of your neighbors!

We arrived on May 12, 2023 expecting to camp here, website said first come first serve May 1 - June 1, reservations required after June 1. Weather was beautiful, Gate was closed and locked. We have had this happen frequently at NPS campgrounds, sometimes after traveling some distance out of our way. NPS website needs to be clear on whether campgrounds are open or closed!
