April 2021- FRIENDLIEST STAFF! Beautiful “Kampground”! We stayed in a cabin right on the creek, they have heat and electricity which made for a very comfortable stay... 4/9/2021

Crew was super nice and helpful. Very clean bathrooms and cute and cozy main office. It was closed while we were there because of remodeling and there were quite a few diesel trucks and tractors... 4/6/2021

all around great experience, friendly staff and a clean, comfortable place to camp. 4/6/2021

We had a lovely time at the KOA just outside Ouray in March! The jacuzzi was wonderful after a long day exploring and the cabin itself was a nice home base for our adventures. 3/31/2021

Our site by the creek was perfect and relaxing. You can hear water flowing and other sounds of nature 24/7. There was a little bit of construction going on which made the area close to the laundry room a little messy but certainly not noisy at all... 3/31/2021

We had fun in the deluxe cabin. I don't know if it's the camping experience everyone wants, but we enjoyed it. The cabin was clean and staff was responsive when we ran out of propane. And we got to use the campground hot tub... 3/27/2021

Great time at the best KOA in Colorado 3/26/2021

Recent stay in cabin was great. I usually stay in the motorcycle area and was disappointed to see rails installed to mark areas. They will make it difficult to park motorcycles and unload gear. I've stayed there several times and never had any issues with space... 3/22/2021

We were not super pleased about covid practices. No employees wore face masks, at all. This includes both indoors and outdoors. 3/22/2021

This place is awesome and serene as always. Strongly recommend this KOA to anyone and everyone. 3/22/2021

Nice staff. Clean shower and restrooms. Laundry was not. Construction going on so that added to some of the disarray. Snowmelt added to mud at pad, drive and walkways. Could use more gravel. Made it difficult Trl level motor coach... 3/12/2021

I met the most kind people during my stay In Ouray. Beautiful campground and a great staff. 3/1/2021

Good winter access; sites and roads well plowed; warm, clean restrooms and showers, wifi, wintrized water/sewer hookups, short office/ store, firewood available. Would definitely stay again, and plan to check it out thus summer. 2/24/2021

We stayed Friday and Saturday night. We had come assuming the restaurant and game room were open. We had not been told they were closed. The snow was well plowed. We enjoyed the Hot Tub. People were very hospitable. I think the rate was too high... 2/15/2021

Terrific. I was a relatively late reservation, they did a great job accomodating me. Nice spot along a quickly moving creek. New ownership, they came up and made sure my stay was acceptable... 1/31/2021

Great cabin experience and outstanding people at this Koa. Location was perfect for running into town. Will definitely be back for another stay. 1/26/2021

Ouray's own wonder of the world is the culmination of Canyon Creek narrowing and spilling thousands of gallons a minute of water over the falls. At this most spectacular geological formation, the 285 foot waterfall plummets into a narrow quartzite canyon. The narrow rock walls tower over the falls by nearly 100 feet! The park is on CR361 - off Highway 550 just south of Ouray.
