This is most helpful Busskipper! From the research we have done thus far, you are right on with your suggestions! Do you suggest we camp in Ouray or Ridgeway SP for most of that time and make day trips? Any other camping suggestions? We will have our 31’ class C and a couple of tents. Thx!!!
For Ridgway SP, a couple of things to be aware of. First and foremost there is a Stage II fire ban in place, which means no fires of any sort -- no fires in the fire rings and no charcoal grills. Not banned are propane stoves. This is until further notice, which is likely until Labour Day unless a good monsoon season kicks in.
And in August, it may be difficult to impossible to find sites available for your group. Reservations are fairly standard in most of the popular State Parks and Ridgway is very popular. Plus, for the size group you have, it may be necessary to have 2 sites.
Perhaps a better option would be to check out the KOA outside of Ouray to the north.
