We loved Black Burro Ranch! The site was absolutely lovely and so well maintained. Great mountain views, particularly for sunrise. Directions were clear, site was safe. Loved the stargazing chairs! The outhouse and showers were clean. We would absolutely stay again!!
This was a great campsite- especially if you are trying to spend some time in both Ouray and Montrose. Great private location and very well maintained.
Black Burro Ranch is a little slice of heaven!
Rene is a wonderful hostess who has thought of everything! The camp spot is a little garden area away from the main house with sage and juniper growing throughout. Lounge chairs and tables are available for use. The amenities worked out perfectly for us. The solar showers were nice and warm and the outhouse didn’t smell at all (uses WAG bag system…major plus!)
We got to see amazing sunrises!
Rene came to meet us and shared some of her knowledge of the area and made recommendations. Communication with Rene and directions to her place were excellent!
I so hope we get to come back sometime! Highly recommend Black Burro Ranch! Thanks again for a lovely stay!
Amazing place to camp. René’s super creative and did a great job making that camp super cozy. We’ll be definitely going back there.
Thanks Carolina! I hope you can come back SOON!
Simple setup but really lovely! I would love to stay there again. Plus René was very welcoming and great to chat with.
The ultimate peace and quiet spot with a backdrop that leaves you speechless. The details (shower, drinking water, toilet) put this spot at above and beyond.
We absolutely loved our stay with René! What a beautiful, peaceful place. We only spent on night on our roadtrip but loved the grounds. The Wag Bag is a snap to use. René is so lovely and welcoming - we would happily recommend her place to others and would love to come back!
Rene was warm and inviting when we got to her ranch. Everything was thoughtfully set up for us too. Will definitely try to stay here again!
Campsite was very well setup and private. There was a bathroom, water, soap, and lots of seats around the campsite. Campsite also had plenty of trees which was nice to let us get out of the heat and rain. René and Tom (hosts) were also extremely friendly and helpful.
