Amphitheatre NF Campground
Located on the side of the mountain above Ouray, this campground is suitable for small RVs and tents. The entrance road is narrow with tight curves and restricted to RVs under 26’ and trailer/tow vehicles under 35’.
Three of the sites close to the accessible vault toilets are marked as wheelchair accessible. One is used by the camp host and one is tilted and has a tight bend but the third one is fine The site (#17) that we chose is very accessible but not marked as such. All of the tables have long overhangs. The ground is surfaced with small gravel.
The campground name comes from the way the mountain has been shaped by a volcanic explosion. The best view of this and the town of Ouray is from the overlook which is right in the campground. There’s a small parking lot but RVs may not be able to turn around. It’s a short but rather steep walk. Campground
