    View of kitchen and dining inside the casita.

    A clean, well-organized, well-run camp/glamping/tiny house/small RV park. The website is accurate- describes the site and amenities exactly as they are in person. We received a helpful text on the morning of check-in with detailed parking information and the code to enter our tiny house "casita." The casita was immaculate, clean, and cool. A kitchen with propane-driven stovetop, microwave, full-sized fridge and freezer. Plenty of kitchenware and place settings / glassware setup for two. Nice "rattan-look" blinds on every window. Window air conditioning unit kept everything cool on our 90-degree arrival day. The windows open (no screens) which made for a pleasant morning. A sturdy 7-step ladder reached up to the loft to the bed. Lots of outlets in the unit and the wifi signal was great. The clubhouse is very clean and very pretty. The coffee is very good- fresh brewed not pods. Recycling containers available in unit and in Many RVs seem to be setup for longer term use and the park was very quiet. No one was sitting outside their space partying or playing music late night which was a relief. The glamping tents were off to the edge of the property, and those looked really nice as well. I'd like to try one of those on a future visit.

    My husband and I booked 2 nights at Basecamp 550 in late June. We had a great experience. The contactless check-in was on point. Our "Glamping Tent" (#2) was awesome. We had been on the road camping with our rooftop tent, so sleeping in a real bed was perfect. The tent came with a heater (which we did not use). We slept with all the flaps open and enjoyed the cold nights? It dipped down into the 40s. The bed was very comfortable, and the pillows felt like the tempurpedic style, which provided good neck support. The showers & bathrooms were clean and exactly as described. It was nice to have a hot shower. The laundry room has new high capacity washers & dryers. The cost for 1 load to wash was $4, and for the dryer, it goes in 5 minute increments for $.25.  We did not use the bunkhouse  for cooking but we did visit. It looks exactly like the pictures.  We would definitely book another stay.

    Gorgeous location. We stayed in a Glamping tent. The accommodations are wonderful! Beautifully outfitted and every need considered-fridge, microwave, snacks, fan, space heater and THE most comfortable bed. And, amazingly...drum roll...the bed is HEATED. Front porch seating looks out over the mountains.The bathroom is so clean. The floor literally sparkles. The owners were very accommodating and helpful. Easy access to so many things to do. If you are in the Ridgway/Ouray area, check it out.

    My friend from college and I stayed here for 3 nights and it had so much to offer. Contactless check in, comfortable bed, fans and heaters, personal fireplace/mini fridge/microwave, and a GREAT view of the mountains and sunset. The bbq area was kept well, and the bathrooms and showers were updated and clean. They provided towels, cleaning supplies, cards, bottle openers. Everyone was friendly and happy to be there. We are used to camping in a tent, but the glamping exceeded our expectations. Management was available 24/7. The towns near Basecamp also had lots to offer. Tasty food, breweries, music, hikes, lots of entertainment. We can not recommend this place enough! We will absolutely be back!

    Glamping Tent!

    THE BEST SPOT IN OURAY! If you are visiting/ traveling or planning a trip to Ouray this is the spot to go! We stayed in the Glamping Tent which had everything we needed and OMG THE VIEWS! The service / staff here are some of the nicest, laid back people. We really have enjoyed staying here and will be sad to leave!

    There is one bed in the glamping tent, so we brought a small backpacking tent to sleep two.

    Doing the "VanLife" thing and popped in without reservations. Half the RV park was closing down…read morefor the winter; but, Amber (one of the owners) was able to get us situated for a couple of nights with a wonderful view. Enjoyed the hot tub and the onsite restaurant. We had already eaten dinner but managed some apps at their bar - had the truffle fries (OMG!) Will definitely return...

    We had just purchased our motor coach and booked a stay here last minute to do a "shakedown" trip…read morethe first month. Because we had booked so late, for our four night stay, we were in three different spots 70, 58 and 60. All were very good, but 70-72 are the best with wider spots. Definitely worth the extra cost. We were contacted by email and text as we got closer to our trip, giving us general check in instructions and what to expect, which I appreciated. We arrived after the office closed, but check in was easy with a packet waiting for us just outside the office. This park is well maintained with beautiful scenery and is surprisingly quiet. There were several campsites with dogs, but the owners were good about keeping them quiet. My husband and I walked the park when it cooled down in the evenings and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We even made some new friends who we hope will cross paths with in the future. There is a general store within walking distance stocked with basic non perishable items. The highlight of our stay here was our prime rib dinner at the Ouray Cafe and Restaurant located on the edge of the park. It's a must stop if you're here! We didn't go to the hot spring, but it's a close walk from the park, as is downtown Ouray. This was a great first trip for us and we'll be returning!

The location (right on the Taylor River, nestled between Gunnison and Crested Butte), easy access to unlimited firewood, spacious campsites (we had 3 tents between the 5 of us), beautiful scenery, & high level of service from Sam made it for us.

It didn't look like much when we first pulled up but it was so quiet and peaceful. They were my 12th call to find a place to setup and wait for repairs and I wish they would have been our 1st. Andrew (Manger) at the front desk put me right at ease on the phone and the owners are such kind hearted people. We were so frazzled from the events of the day and had 5 of our 7 kids with us who were just over it. Matt ( one of the owners) was there with Andrew when we checked in. They made sure we were all doing ok and even offered to use thier tractor if we needed help getting the camper into a spot. We had multiple interactions with staff during our stay and they were all great. Only issue we had was a wasps nest under our picnic table and Qwory got it taken care of within minutes. The showers/ bathrooms were spotless, real showerheads with temperature controls, and spacious. Grounds are clean and well maintained. A new water fountain with a little light show was just added. There are community fire pits and a little playground for kiddos. They have a pool and a big barn currently being renovated that could be used for large gatherings. The barn has a second laundry room that is accessable now and will have more showers/bathrooms once completed. The laundry rooms have older washers and dryers but they are working to get that updated as well. Super pet and kid friendly. Rates were lower than most in the area and they are adding tiny home cabins as well. There is even an onsite mechanic if you get into a bad spot who may be able to help if you are able to stay a bit. (Most rv mecanics are backed up a month or more, he was about 2 weeks I think). Pull through and back in sites are available. Lanscaping is being done throughout so bring your canopy as not all spots are shaded. Bottom line is that the new owners are really working hard to turn this place around and make it stand out. These guys are super accommodating and really just want to have happy guests. Please don't hesitate to be a good human talk with them if you have any issues. I know they will do whatever they can to figure it out. We couldn't have asked for a better safe haven. As far as the package mess on Youtube goes....YES! You can get packages delivered there. There were packages of all kinds (amazon,fedex, ups....ect) in the delivery box in the office. The staff we interacted with: Andrew - Manager Janine- Manager and Matt's wife Matt- Part owner Qwory- Grounds worker
