Almont Campground

Centrally located and great for fishermen. It is all first come first serve so make sure to get there early. There are only 5 trailer spots and 5 hike in only spots. However, unlike the map, Verizon coverage is spotty, probably because of the canyon walls

2 Great nights spent here while we explored the region a great site by the water. A little noisy with the road traffic but at night all you hear is the river.

Convenient campground about 10min north of Gunnison. First Come First Serve. Only $9 a night if you have the Interagenct Pass. $18 otherwise. Limited cell coverage. Only 5 small camper sites and I think 5 tent Only sites. Good spot to fly fish.

Stopped here on my way to Grand Teton National Park, from southwest Missouri. It’s a pretty standard campground. Had vault toilets, but no TP. I stayed at site 9, which is down a small hill, but the tent site is tucked back into the willows, allowed for some privacy. $14 for a night. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. No cell service with Consumer Cellular.

Yes it's near the highway, but I don't think I ever even noticed that. The noise is not bad. Most of the noise comes from the river, which is relaxing. If you come in an off season like spring, there's no way to pay at the kiosk so stay is free.

Couldn't stay in Crested Butte so this 30 minute drive South did the trick!

We were happy to see this site since all the sites we have tried have been closed due to snow or mud. In the summer this would be a beautiful little site. Spaces are tight,road is very much pot holed. Traffic is noisy. River is beautiful. If this was a couple of miles off highway it would be perfect. Have to search for kiosk

Small, primative campground just off 135 on the way to Crested Butte. (10 minutes to Gunnison and 20 from Crested Butte. Just south of town of Almont). About five tent sites on north side of the campground and some camper/trailer sites on the south side. Fire pits at each site. Picnic tables. Stayed in a tent. No problems. Can hear traffic on 135, but it quiets down at night. Pit toilet is clean with usual odors. Apparently there is some electricity available on the camper/trailer side. Bear safe trash dumpsters. This is a bear site so care needs to be taken. Self pay envelopes and drop tube at the kiosk at entrance. Pd $12, but is $6 if have one of the senior passes as it’s on national forest land. If you’re pretty self sufficient and looking for a nice bargain, this is a good site. Had a great view of the milky way over the campsite as minimal light pollution.
