This RV park is also known as Taylor Park Trading Post, it is located very near the Taylor Park Reservoir. You are high up in the mountains here, so don't expect a lot of frills. But if fishing, hiking, ATVs or mining are you thing, this is a great place to stay. The sites were level. The restrooms and showers look new and are very clean. Since everything is gravel, it is a bit dusty. An added bonus is the new cellphone tower erected very near the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you understand what this is, then it is one of the best of this kind of camping. USFS campground with one electric loop. 50 Amp power was solid. Sites were well spaced and the view was spectacular. We camp here every chance we get. Fuel prices did not keep this area from being almost full all week. Reservations are encouraged. We did and the reservation was handled well. Can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I have camped here every summer for 14 years. I don't know too many places where you can relax and enjoy the mountains like this. We camped here in a Tent.
This is a National Forest campground overlooking Taylor Reservoir. New loop has electric. No water, no sewer, but great campground and views. Toilets are very clean. NFS reservation system is suggested as the campground was full the entire time we were there. Great place to get away! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The book "Colorado Campgrounds - 100 best and all the rest" rates this as the 32nd best in the state. It calls it an "RV paradise." If you are looking for an RV "resort," this is not it. But if you want a good campground with level shaded sites, clean restrooms, and quiet days and nights, this a a great one! All sites have 30 amp service (note that the NFS listing shows 15 amp only) and most were long and level. A gray water dump is listed but has been closed. Since it is built on the side of the hill overlooking the Taylor River, most sites have steps up or down leading to the picnic tables. Most of the sites have a lantern post as well. Water faucets (for filling only) are numerous. Restrooms are kept very clean and have nice touches from the hosts - flowers, magazines, etc. Restrooms are listed as pit/vault but are some type of composting toilet - there was a constant motor noise coming from the restroom. The campground was quiet during the day as most people went off to fish the river or the nearby Taylor Reservoir. It was quiet at night. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was that the road is just below the campground and there is a reasonable amount of traffic during the day and evening. Granted we were there over Labor Day so that could contribute to the additional traffic. This campground closed the day after Labor Day for some upgrades, supposedly the addition of 50 amp service. They also have to rebuild a fence that a bear tore down trying to get to the dumpster! We are already planning a trip for next year. this campground fills up all summer so make reservations early. A few sites are non-reservable, but they are filled early. This campground is near Crested Butte, Gunnison, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
