September 2023. Great spot for quick camping. No running water, but town is close by. The nearby road gets you to Imogene Pass, Yankee Boy and Governor's Basin.

This campground is a little rustic but you can't beat the location. Right off the road to YBB. Outhouses are clean and well maintained. Be aware that there is no water at this campground.

For $10/night, this campsite really delivers! It is located maybe 15 minutes outside of Ouray, and the drive to the campsite is really beautiful! The campsite is primitive, so there are pit toilets but there is no water available and no dumpsters/trash service. The sites do have tent pads, fire rings, and picnic tables, and are spacious and spread out, so you don't feel like you're right on top of your neighbor. The road to and through the campsite can be rough, with rocks and pot holes, so not recommended for your vehicle unless it is high-clearance with 4WD/AWD! Honestly, the worst part of the campsite was the flies... seriously. Bring some fly tape or flying insect spray or something, because they are relentless and I'm pretty sure some of them were the biting kind.

We ended up finding this campsite after going up to Amphitheater and finding out it was completely full. The hosts told us about Angel Creek and we are so glad they did!! We were up in the loop in the back. The view of the mountains was amazing! We had quite a few tree chunks we used as furniture. The vault toilet up there was super clean. We got water in our bladders from the river down at the base of the site. There was quite a bit of ATV/Jeep/Dirtbike traffic, but once the sun went down, you couldn't hear them at all. It's so close to Ouray, like a 5 min drive. I would definitely come back to camp here!!!
