Dinner Station, a historic stop along an old stagecoach route from Aspen, is located in the Upper Taylor Park area, next to the Taylor River. The campground is a favorite among off-road and mountain biking enthusiasts.
The Taylor River can be accessed from within the campground. Anglers cast for rainbow and brook trout.
A number of off-road trails are found in the surrounding area, including Doctor Park Trail, Taylor River Trail and Taylor Vista Trail.
The campground offers single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.
The campground is nestled among ponderosa and lodgepole pine trees, at the edge of a broad, flat valley dotted with sagebrush. Most campsites are situated with the Taylor River on one side and open views of the Sawatch Mountains on the other side.
Taylor Park Reservoir is less than five miles from the campground, offering boating, fishing and swimming opportunities. A boat ramp and boat rentals are available there.
From Gunnison, Colo., travel north on Colorado Highway 135 for 10 miles to Almont. Turn right (northeast) onto Taylor Canyon Road and continue 35 miles. The campground entrance is on the left.
This was a great Campground. Plenty of shade and there are several spots next to the stream. I wish I could remember the camp hosts names, but they were very nice and did an excellent job. I've never seen camp hosts rake the pebbles at a campsite after people left but they did.
The next time we visit Taylor Park I'm staying there.
Great location, campsite was beautiful. I loved that the River was nearby and the camp host was helpful and polite
I can never say enough good things about this campground. Camp hosts Mike and Jan are always helpful and courteous, they will treat you like family. Mike is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Taylor park. Bathrooms are always clean.
Quiet, close to Taylor River and Gunnison National Forest. Fire ring for use when fires are allowed.
We had a beautiful time here despite the rain. Friendly hosts. Amazing views, right on the Taylor River. Off the beaten path just like we wanted!
