This is by far the BEST KOA I've yet to stay in! I stayed in the Deluxe Cabin, which was super clean and the perfect size. The camp is under new ownership and there are tons of new changes happening... 1/25/2020

Thank you so much for all your hospitality while we were in Ouray! 1/2/2020

We stayed three nights in a creek side cabin for Christmas and were thrilled to have a place to stay in the town we love over the holiday. We were impressed with how clean the cabin and the bathrooms were. Troy and Penny treated us like family... 12/29/2019

Have returned to this KOA a couple times now. Great place to stay. Highly recommend. 12/28/2019

Did not have water at the camp site, nor any water to clean dishes at the dish washing station. Had to use bathroom for all water needs and dishes, etc. Was told that the pipes had broken but was also told they would be fixed the next day, but didn't happen... 11/11/2019

Definitely coming back!! The ladies at the office are super friendly. Campground was nice and clean. Ouray is beautiful and soothing. Gorgeous waking in the morning to see all the snow. I loved every minute being there that it made it so hard to leave. 11/8/2019

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and hospitality! I will be back to visit soon 11/6/2019

Penny was the absolute sweetest! She was exceptionally accommodating and kind. We will definitely be back! 11/2/2019

The setting was lovely and convenient - easy access to Ouray but much nicer than staying in a campground in town. The hosts were both personable and helpful. The only downside was all of the "no firearms allowed" signs... 10/29/2019

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.
