Roaring River-Quiet Humans
Small campground in the Gunnison National Forest, closest to Gunnison and Crested Butte, spelled Rosy and Rosey, depending on what sign or website you see! Even though just off Hwy 742, you can barely make out traffic noise! Clean and the sites are awesome! Some sites have been refurbished with paved pads and heavy metal picnic tables. Hosts very friendly and informative about the area. A few rafters and kayakers came by during the day floating the lower Taylor River (Taylor River Class II-III rapids, with some Class IV on the upper Taylor River). Awesome cliffs to view right outside our door. Our site #4 also had two large tent pads. There is a paved path through most of the campground along and up from the river's edge. Fishing was good... lots of little pools to cast into! There is one restroom building with vault toilets which were very clean, and there is community water only (no electric). Lots of wildlife and springtime flora to dazzle your eyes! There are bears and mountain lions in this area, of course and gratefully so! Fires are allowed in fire pits only on no-Red Flag warning days. Little to no internet service, cell service is okay. Be prepared to be cradled and loved by Mother Nature! One of her finest spots is here!!
