Tent camping only. The site is located at the lower end of Taylor Canyon and provides easy access to fishing, rafting and rock climbing. Landscape includes spruce trees adjacent to the Taylor River. 6 tent sites.
Drive east on County Road 742 (Taylor Canyon Road) for 7.5 miles
Beautiful set of campsites along the river, with easy water access. Pit toilets on site, and not too far a drive from Almont for supplies/dining, or as a jumping off point to Taylor Reservoir or rock climbing.
Be warned, as it is in a canyon, that you won't get a lot of sun throughout the day. This means cold, icy winters, but great respite from the hot summers in the surrounding elevations. (We stayed here one August after fleeing scorching, baked earth of Utah's lower parks on our way back to Denver - camping trip saved!)
Gorgeous place. If you climb rocks or trout fish this is a really good spot. The Taylor river flows through pines next to the campsites creating the perfect amount of shade and white nose to cover passing cars and other campers for a very good nap or night of sleep. Below the Taylor Reservoir is the catch and release portions of the Taylor, tons of huge trout are visible from the bridge. Not the easiest fish to catch fish but normally has good water conditions when other places do not. The bathrooms aren’t the the greatest, not because of cleanliness. They have a strong urine smell, but to me it was a minor inconvenience.
