ScoutThis campground has a variety of sites including some pull-through spots suitable for trailers. The campground is nestled into the south side of the canyon so between that and all the firs, many of the sites are in shade until late in the day or just about all day. There has never been a host present the times that I have been here. Bear activity is not uncommon.
The campground is near the trailhead for a couple of beautiful hikes. The Dark Canyon trail runs along Anthracite Creek and is particularly lovely. There are also some sweet tent sites along the trail for backpackers. Be aware that people do bring horses on these trails so if you have dogs off leash you need to have good recall. Also the area is wetter than many places in Colorado so expect some mud on the trail in the Spring, and from May into mid-June there are ticks.
TravelerPrivate RV park sits right on Hwy50 2.5 miles west of Gunnison. Mixed overnight and seasonal campers. Fairly clean but nothing fancy. Staff is nice and helpful. Paid $58/nt.
ScoutGreat staff. Mediocre sites. Great views.
GuideWe got their around 8 and it took us awhile to find a spot in a truck but we eventually did an was worth it . When it’s not a busy time of the year you can find some amazing spots out here . Great views and really close to town road is a little rough .
TravelerThis was our second stop on our journey. We stayed 4 nights 5 days exploring the area. The site was tucked in under some trees providing shade. The campground was quiet and maintained. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. The camp host stopped everyday to check in and give the kids some suckers. The area was great for hiking, fishing, rafting and enjoying the outdoors. Amazing views beautiful weather couldn’t ask for a better spot.
TravelerWe stayed here for 2 nights. The owner really cares about his facilities and is working to improve them. The price was reasonable. We would definitely come back.
GuideEasy drive up out of Redstone. All along the road are pullouts along the way. Great hearing the water all night long. At the end of the paved road there is room to turn around if you don’t find a suitable spot for the night.
ScoutWith very few camping options nearby this was a welcome location only 5 minutes from town. I tent camped at site 68 which was up a hill a good distance from the restrooms and showers, but a port-o-potty was located closer for more immediate needs. The showers were a nice add with hot water and flush toilets.
GuideThere were 22 numbered sites if you kept following the road after the campground. Some sites are small and some aren't, some you have to walk a little ways from parking but not bad at all, most are close to where you park. There are more spots along the road, until it ends a couple of miles back. After the 22nd site, the road gets a bit more rocky and technical. It's absolutely beautiful and you can hear the water flowing in the background! Pack in and pack out!
