Great spot!

Great spot! We stayed here for about 4 nights in mid-June. Perfect weather, very clean bathrooms and power. Great cell signal for working remotely.

Very Pretty

I thought One Mile Campground was really, really nice for an RV stay. I’d probably give it 4.5 stars if I could. HOWEVER: at least for 2021, the campground DOES NOT HAVE WATER so you’ll have to fill up elsewhere (we filled up in Gunnison, you can also fill up in surrounding campgrounds or Crested Butte). The campground is spotless, and though it’s primitive (vault toilets), it had 20/30/50 amp power. The sites are pretty private though not always shaded because they’re surrounded by aspens, wildflowers, and pines. The views of steep, rocky cliffs across the street are beautiful and it’s a great place to stargaze. The road noise is present, but it’s much quieter at night and you can mitigate it by staying at sites further into the campground. It really didn’t bother me and it normally does. The cell service on T-Mobile was amazing. I’d highly recommend site 23.

Okay Tent and rv camping next to road (near creek) with great morning cliff views

Did not stay here due to 30$ price tag but toured it. Small okay sites with not much to offer but clean and well administered. Road noise was ever present and creek just across the road. Like nearly all campgrounds along this creek, it was a long and narrow set of options. Site 22 (only site available) was quite pretty in young aspen with wooden fence at base of small cliffs. Table but no bear boxes. Toilets and water. The morning views of the red rock cliffs just across canyon must be wonderful. Host seemed nice and honest and straight. We ended up across the street at north bank for 18$... And camping inches from the creek.

Nice riverfront campground

Big Rig friendly. 30 amp service. Good cell service on Verizon. Some highway noise but the river just on the otherside makes it an enjoyable place to camp. Clean bathrooms.
