Lakeview Campground is located on Taylor Park Reservoir, at an elevation of 9,400 feet. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing and boating, and abundant off-road and biking opportunities.
Taylor Park Reservoir offers boating, fishing and swimming. Anglers cast for northern pike, kokanee salmon, and rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout. A boat ramp is located just below the campground. Fishing and pontoon boat rentals are available at the marina.
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 several single-family campsites, some of which have electric hookups. Some sites are also accessible. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.
The campground is situated just above Taylor Park Reservoir, among ponderosa and lodgepole pine trees. The valley floor is broad, flat and dotted with sagebrush. Most campsites have beautiful views of the reservoir and the Sawatch Mountains.
From Gunnison, travel north on Highway 135 for approximately 10 miles to Almont. Turn right on County Road 742 and continue 25 miles to the campground entrance, which is on the right.
Stayed mid June and had a blast! Even the bit of overnight snow was fabulous. Great view, nice access to trails. We had a pull thru site w/elec. that was mostly level, with a great view of mountains and lake. Hosts were very friendly and helpful!
A beautiful drive to a gorgeous wooded campground, the reservoir and miles of offroad trails. Boat rentals at the marina, razor rentals at the outpost. A mountian playground where the bears roam and the fish are biting. Highly reccomend!
