Silver Jack Campground - Ouray RD

You could not find a more beautiful place to go camping. Great atmosphere and environment. Really cannot go wrong. If if you go a little later at the end of summer, usually the bugs have been frozen off.

Lovely secluded camping with trails leading to beautiful vistas. Well maintained vault toilets and a pump for water access.

Great campground. The rangers were missing the host and were quick to come great us and make sure we were comfortable and got us registered. The quiet hours were from 10pm-6am but it was quiet usually from 8pm when it got dark and stayed quiet through the day. There were a few trails but the kids LOVED them. The park was gorgeous and the bathrooms were clean. I saw a great mixture of campers and tents. Plenty of deer and cattle. One night we heard wolves howling in the distance. Two nights we had rain. We stayed in late July. Make sure you have fire starters. This is a moist area. I would recommend this place for sure. I am glad that our family came. I'm sure we were the loudest ones with four kids... 👍 There were other children and multiple hikers. There are plenty of people with kayaks because of the lakes. Easy access to Montrose and Ouray. Owl Creek pass is gorgeous. We made it in a non 4 wheel drive car before the rain, but heard it might be harder after. It is longer but gorgeous. Either way, if you are able to make this park part of your vacation, please do. Don't pass it up!

Great place to camp during the week but I heard it can be crowded during the weekend. Camp host are very nice. Make sure you have a way to level your trailer. There is water to fill your trailer and the toilets are clean Don't try to fish in Beaver or the Res. No bites and a steep walk to the Res.

Silver Jack Campground has three distinct loops with campsites. Very close to the Reservoir with trails leading to the scenic overlook right from the campground. Just a short drive to Beaver Lake where paddle boards and boats are permitted. Bathrooms were clean and readily available. Onsite custodian is a plus. Had a great family get together over the 4th of July and would very much recommend this location.
