    Lodgepole (taylor River Canyon Near Gunnison, Colorado)

    You won’t be disappointed

    This small campground is located at Gunnison National Forest along Taylor river. The area is full of pine and aspen trees. The camp’s care taker was excellent. Clean grounds and bathrooms. If you stay here, get campsites 7-11, so you can access the new bathrooms which are spotless. From here you can fish all over the river or at the lake, rent a boat at the lake or drive to Tin Cup Which is also an interesting mining town on your way to Mirror lake. Also, you are 20 minutes from Almont, where you can do rafting.

    Gunnison KOA

    Beautiful Setting and Family Friendly

    The Gunnison KOA is in a beautiful setting with large trees that is about 75 yards from the river. The spaces are generously sized, although the camping sites could use power outlets. They are very kid and pet friendly; and have a dog park. There is a friendly donkey who roams the grounds, so make sure your 4 legged friends are okay around bigger animals. The bathrooms are clean and functional. The same could not be said for the dishwashing station that is outdoors. It is in horrible condition, including a dripping faucet. Also, be aware that you are very close to the river and there is a mosquito and moisture problem. Even with these minor problems, this is still a great place to stay.

    Cascade (colorado)

    One of our favorites

    This is probably my family's favorite area to camp in Colorado. Off the beaten path enough that traffic is minimal. But nice and close to some great four wheel and off roading areas.

    Buffalo Pass Campground

    Dispersed camping, solitude

    Great place to camp in Colorado to avoid weekend crowds. Wide open, off the beaten path as far as Colorado goes.

    Salida RV Resort

    Very nice new RV park. Right on the Arkansas River, great mountain views.

    Very clean, large level spots with gravel and plenty of room in between RVs.  Great location, close to Salida and hiking & biking trails.  Directly on the Arkansas River -- river view spots are very nice and all spots have a view of the mountains, there's a bit of road noise from nearby highway.  Friendly staff, nice clubhouse with showers, pool table & fitness center, there's a small dog park and pickleball courts.  Direct access to Arkansas River for kayaks and small boats (walk down to river, can't drive there).  Campground internet was spotty but cell service is great so internet is very good if you have a hot spot.  Highly recommended, my only complaint is there's no pool or hot tub.

    Road 240 - Dispersed

    A hidden paradise

    This spot is one of the best kept secrets for dispersed camping in Colorado. The road has plenty of camping spots all the way up to the lake. Most spots are wooded and offer plenty of shade. We were lucky enough to end up right along the river. If you keep driving down the road, you will end up at a stunning alpine lake basin that offers plenty of hiking. High clearance vehicle is necessary to get down this road.
