Loved this gorgeous spot! So convenient, so well priced. Michael was a friendly and communicative host. We literally saw 3 rainbows and caught the Alpenglow: perfect spot for Sneffles Traverse Eve. Highly rec

Michael was amazing. We were running from smoke from the Willow fire and let us come day early at no charge. His site was absolute perfection and amazing views. Close enough to Ouray without any crowds.

Easy access to area resources if you are remote worker and passing through!
Great morning and evening views.
A nice set of three deer enjoyed a cup of morning coffee with me :)

This place has amazing views! There was even a rainbow over the mountains when we arrived. It's a little less remote than expected, but it still felt private enough. The road to the campsite is a bit steep, but we've been on way rougher roads. I would definitely stay here again.

The overlook was a beautiful spot we stayed for a night while traveling through Ouray. We stayed in a truck camper and had no problem backing down the switchback to the spot. I think it would be even easier in an SUV or van.
We liked that the spot was not totally visible from the road and offered privacy and felt safe and was pretty quiet. The views (especially at sunset) and the stargazing was amazing!
Michael was quick to respond and it was really easy to book last minute.

We had a great last minute stay at Michael’s scenic camp spot and I’d definitely recommend! It’s nice and private with amazing views. We even saw a rainbow in the valley after a rain storm! Would stay again, thanks Michael!

Just as pictured! As a woman traveling/camping solo, I’m careful about where I choose to camp. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but this spot felt very safe - hard to see from the roads coming up and a friendly but very respectful neighbor checked in to see if I needed anything. I know that can sometimes be alarming but he was truly so kind and did it in such a respectful way! I recommend getting here in daylight as the grade down would be tricky for me in the dark. My CRV did just fine. Otherwise, it’s very convenient to Ridgway and Ouray and was nice and quiet at night.

The host had great communication and made everything easy. The site is in a convenient location and works well if you’re just looking for a place to crash. Privacy is very limited as it’s in the middle of a neighborhood, which can be tough given that there’s no restroom. Still, a solid, no-frills option for a quick stopover.
