First of all, Colorado State Parks are excellent, probably the best I've ever been to. We have been to Mueller & Ridgway and the parks are clean and the bathroom & shower facilities are top notch.
Back to Ridgway, stated the first night in Pa-Co-Chu, loop B by the river. Mosquitoes were so bad that it was impossible to go outside without being swarmed. The park was very accomidating and was able to move us to Dakota Terrace for the remainder of our trip. Nothing bad to say other that there was a lack of large trees in that part of the park.
When we go back, Elk Ridge, Loop E, sites # 177, 179, 181, 184 will be the ones we try to get. They overlook the area and have the best scenic view. Ouray is a neat little town.
If you have a hard sided camper, it won't be as bad, but we have a large pop-up and there were a lot of extra precautions and things to do since the park is in bear country. If you've never been in a park like that, read up on it so you can have a better idea of what to expect.
