Beautiful campground!!! We were on site #3, conveniently next to a very clean bathroom. Jon is the host and was super nice!! This was my first time camping and I had a great time! I can't wait to come back next year!!

Beware of Camp host !! We drove through the campground to see our friends, We were going under 5mph. Old camp host blocked the exit with his golf cart and began to scream at us saying that we were not welcome there, our kind was not wanted there. Then he flipped us off and rolled away. He is what we do not want in Colorado !

Quiet, close to Taylor River and Gunnison National Forest. Fire ring for use when fires are allowed.

No Usable Water. Don't be fooled by USFS Site. Pump was broken, then fixed. Water was full of silt. USFS lady laughed and said, "Who would want to drink this water." Non existent host locked women's toliet. Beautiful area but NO WATER other than the river.
