Great Campground

Very friendly and accommodating. Nicely shaded with all the amenities you need. If you are allergic to cottonwood trees, it could be an issue. Cotton was flying like snow.

Don’t count on Wi-Fi and cell service!!

We work from home, so wifi and cell service are mandatory. I thought we would be good here since Dyrt said Verizon and wifi were good, but we were pulling our hair out at work. Internet barely worked and Verizon, T-Mobile and at&t had 1 bar and barely worked to hot spot.

Easily accessible RV park near Gunnison, CO

They have a great staff that is friendly and always accessible! We have a back-in site but they have pull throughs also. There is a playground for the kids, laundry, and bathrooms with showers. They allow fires and provide a “fire pit” that is constructed from an old washer tub with legs welded on. Just ask for one at the front desk. They also sell firewood for the fire. Oh, and they come by and pick up your trash at your site between 9-5 each day just leave your bag out by the road. There are full hookups at most of the sites. The area is in walking distance of the Gunnison River and there is a nice hiking trail on the south side of the river heading west. There is also a bike path that goes back into town and up the road toward Crested Butte. On the main road (intersection of CR11 and highway 135) there is a bus stop for a free bus trip into Gunnison. The men’s bathroom had a couple of issues, the overhead light didn’t work very well and one of the toilets was malfunctioning but they got those fixed pretty quickly. There is a nice combination of shade (from the trees) and sun at all the sites.

Great place to stop for the night

The tent sites are kind of centralized, not a lot of privacy. With that said, the sites were level and the facilities were fine. Good location, not far from crested butte.

Feels like home nestled in the woods...

This park is nestled in a beautiful section of forest with a pond on site. Great walking around the park for our pups, reliable hook ups, clean facilites, and very friendly staff. The rates were super affordable too! Lots of monthly RV campers staying, really gives it a community feel. Firewood for sale on site, friendly neighbors. Also strong t-mobile service and good wifi. Totally recommend!!!!

Friendly staff, lovely stay

This park is nestled in a beautiful section of forest with a pond on site. Great walking around the park for our pups, reliable hook ups, clean facilites, and very friendly staff. The rates were super affordable too! We only needed electric hook up for our RV and it is small and even though all their RV sites were booked up they let us stay in a tenting spot for cheap with an electric box. Firewood for sale on site, friendly neighbors. Totally recommend!!!!

Too cozy in the Cottonwoods

Campground is a great location-I'll start there. There are two levels of RV spots here, a basic back in option and a more premium spot they charge a bit more for in the back of the park by the ponds. We were by the ponds,

IF anyone in your party has seasonal allergies of any kind I would STEER CLEAR of this park-NOTHING against the park itself but the park is full of Cottonwood trees and over the 4th of July they were shedding their cotton and it was everywhere. It honestly looked like it had snowed that stuff was all over the ground, the picnic tables, our awning-just everything.

Okay-the park itself....there are some full timers (seasonally) living in the ponds area and they tend to not be super welcoming to outsiders. The spots, even in the premium area, are very close together....at one point I thought I could lean out our winder and touch the pop up camper next to us.

Now, as for the other area of the park- the more basic spots. They were parked as if it was a parking lot. Not my idea of much fun.

The bathrooms were pretty dirty and run down.
