Campers will enjoy all the beauty the Gunnison Basin has to offer. Anglers have access to the gold medal waters of the Taylor River. Hikers will enjoy access to the natural area of the Fossil Ridge Wilderness. There are 12 campsites.
In Almont, CO, at intersection of State Rt. 135 and County Rt. 742, take Rt. 742 for 6.9 miles to a "Y" intersection (Forest Rt. 744). Bear left onto Rt. 744 (dirt) and go 1.9 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
Great place to stay. The neighbors around it are not pleasant though. It can get busy there and no reservations are allowed. The campground hosts a so nice. Beautiful place.
Beautiful quiet campground in the middle of the mountains next to a babbling river! There is a river raft company and rock climbing nearby.
Beautiful place. But no water. And it is 18 not 14. The concession keeps jacking prices and no improvements. Hosts are sweet underpaid people. No water in most of recreation resource management of america campgrounds state wide. Not good. Can't find out why. Not tested? Don't want to pay to have them on? Going down? Forest service doesn't get the money so...what do we pay for? A full pit toilet and a piece of dirt...what is the outcome?
Utterly lovely campground. Quiet, away from the busy roads, several creekside sites. We got lucky number 10 which I highly recommend! And amazing creek access all the way up the road from the camp. First come first serve and we had a very easy time getting in, albeit late in the season and middle of the week. Only thing that would have made this campground better for me would be trails from site. Didn’t seem to be tons of hiking right nearby. Lots of biking tho. I would DEFINITELY come back here!!
