Located alongside the famed **Taylor River** in Gunnison County, CO is the home of our first campground, Campfire Ranch on the Taylor. Our location is outstanding, positioned on County Road 742, down the road from the newly paved Cottonwood Pass, which is just 18 minutes to Crested Butte and 18 minutes to Gunnison. Taylor Canyon is home to some of the most iconic views in the Central Rockies, abundant recreational pursuits and outstanding access to nearby communities. We can’t wait to have you camp with us!

Campfire Ranch on the Taylor

I hate to spoil this place with a great review, knowing it will make it more difficult to book here in the future. However, this may be the most thoughtful, scenic, and clean campground I’ve ever visited. With fresh, cold and clean mountain water for drinking! 

Perhaps the best campground 

This is a tent only site but it was great.  There is a host on-site who is very helpful.  The restrooms are very clean.  The tent sites are great and there is unlimited firewood.  We went into Crested Butte to eat one night and we drove over to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison as well.  Both were suggestions from our host.  We also went boating on Taylor lake.
