SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Situated along the Gunnison River in Almont, this US Forest Service campground runs from May through September and accepts reservations, though first-come, first-served availability has worked for weeknight visitors. Sites include picnic tables, a deep fire ring, and a gravel pad, with drinking water, vault toilets, and trash service on-site. The campground is ADA accessible and allows pets. Road noise is present during the day but fades by evening. Campers interested in campgrounds around Almont will find several options at the confluence of the Taylor and Gunnison rivers. Weeknights in summer tend to see light use, making that the better window for securing space without crowds.

Visitors often highlighted the riverside location with functional basic amenities and peaceful river sounds. Road noise is present but diminishes at night, making it suitable for no-frills camping near Crested Butte.

Great place by the river

Great place by the river, with picnic table, deep fire ring, and gravel area to hang out in. Had a good night here roasting marshmallows and hanging out by the fire. We stayed here on a Monday night in June and saw two other campers there, but no one close to us. There is a little road noise that died off in the evening and was replaced by the sound of the river.

Small and unassuming

I camped here one night when I needed a last-minute place to pitch a tent on a weeknight during summer. I believe this is a first-come, first-served location. Not too far from both Gunnison and Crested Butte, the location is decent enough, and the sound from the Gunnison River helped cover the sounds from the adjacent road. This campground is no frills BLM camping. Be ready for a basic site, a vault toilet, and ok campsites. It was just what I needed for the night.

Right on the river

Great spot below Crested Butte. We could hear the river as we relaxed.
