Miss a feature? The campground host is leaving soon after Labor Day and the season is coming to a close. Fees will not be required for use of Thistledown or Angel Creek Campgrounds from September 14 through late May 2010. The campgrounds will remain open, but no services will be provided and the toilet will be locked. Self-containment should be heavily promoted. Barring that, campers should walk several hundred feet into the forest (away from the creek, campground, roads, and trails) and bury human waste in catholes at least 6 inches deep. This is difficult to do in lower Canyon Creek and there is a lot of private property in the area, so, again, self-containment and removal is strongly preferred.
The six portable toilets further up the canyon will be removed for the season on September 15.
The toilet at Na-gach Day-Use Area, next to Amphitheater Campground, will remain open for an extended season through October. This is the nearest USFS toilet, located just above the City of Ouray.
