“Awesome winter base camp with electric sites”

We love camping in the winter, actually just winter in general, but it is always difficult to find open campgrounds in most northern/mountain areas during that time especially one with electric sites. We have a 30ft(ish) toy hauler that’s amazing but can be difficult to get into some places however, we had no issue here. The bathroom w... more

The park is fantastic. Great basecamp for exploring Ouray county. We traveled to Telluride, Mesa Verde, Silverton and Ouray from here. The town of Ridgway has everything you need for re-supplies; market, fuel, etc. Our location in Dakota Terraces had minimal cell signal, even with a weboost cell signal booster. The booster provided mod... more

14 miles from Ouray, Co we took a drive along the million dollar highway. Beautiful scenery and fascinating mining history. The campsite was asphault with an oversized picnic table, bar b que and fire pit. Sites were drive thru but the layout was backwords for our trailer. The campground was grassland but was closest to the boat ramp. ... more

We loved the Dakota Terraces section of Ridgway State Park. It was much roomier than the space we had at Elk Ridge previously and were able to drive through this time so we could see which site might work best for us. But - with the "all by reservation" system, we then had to call the 800# and make the reservations for the site we like... more

We loved this campground! Large sites for the most part and we felt private. Great views with clean bathrooms including showers and laundry. The location is great to explore the area including Ouray and Telluride. Dakota Terrace doesn’t have much shade- some of the sites have shade structures but some don’t so check before you book.

We stayed at both Elk Ridge and Dakota Terraces because we couldn't get a single spot for our 13 night stay. The state park is very nice with lots to do including fishing, hiking, boating, etc. The park is close to Ridgway, Ouray and Telluride as well. Dakota Terraces is a nice enough campground with 30 amp power, lots of communit... more

We have generally avoided staying at CO SPs because of their higher cost, and some of my rating is based on value (or lack there of in this case). We paid $32 for a 30 amp only site plus $8 a day totaling $40, but for $80 CO offers a yearly entry pass that waves the $8 fee. The sites in Dakota Terrace/Elk Ridge are electric only, and... more

Great place to stay for Winter RVing.... The park has about 6-8 sites they keep plowed and cleaned off. Bathrooms, heated, were open (no showers). We had electric hookup (site 6 - pull thru) They have water faucets centered so that few sites can share - you fill up then unplug your hose until you need to fill up again. We saw a lot... more
