We've stayed here several times when visiting the San Juans and love the location, convenience and amenities. The Pa-Co-Chu-Puk section has full hookups but is located very close to the highway - lotsa highway noise. We always stay at the Elk Ridge area which is water and electric and a dump station. It is located off the highway quite a ways so no road noise. Many of the sites at Elk Ridge offer stunning views of the mountains.
It’s outside of Ouray, the so the southwestern part of the state in the San Juan mountain range. Great option if you want to see Ouray and the million dollar highway area. A lot cheaper than the private RV parks in Ouray.
We always carry an adaptor to go down to 30amp. I can’t remember the AC being a problem but we also have lots of solar and that feeds into the AC also. We have Easy Starts on the AC units so they don’t have such a power surge and can get going. It’s also usually fall when we go here so we may not have needed as much AC.

Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
Love these types of videos - thank you. As a new RV owner seeing a location before I arrive eases the stress.
Me too. I check for these videos all the time. Glad it is helpful.
Thank you for the video. We will be camping at Ridgeway a few spots down from where you camped. We will be there in July. This was very informative.
Glad it could help. You’ll love it there.
So where is Ridgeway camp in Colorado.

It appears the campsites there are all 30 amp, but doesn't your rig take 50 amps. I assume you just run 1 a/c and have adapters?

Don't take 550? How do you get to Ridgway other than 550?
I mean south of Ridgway, the million dollar highway between Ouray and Silverton.
