High in Colorado's Taylor Park basin, this private campground sits at elevation where overnight temperatures can drop to freezing even in late summer. Sites are spacious pull-throughs with full hookups, 30/50 amp electric, sewer, and water, making it a practical base for RV travelers who want amenities without sacrificing access to backcountry terrain. The campground draws a heavy OHV crowd, with SxS and ATV riders heading directly out from their sites onto forest service roads that branch through the surrounding high country.
The site layout is open, with little tree cover, so campers get broad sightlines toward the surrounding mountains and open sky at sunrise and sunset. Taylor Reservoir sits just down the hill, within easy reach for fishing or a morning walk. Nearby, Lakeview Gunnison and Taylor Park-Taylor Canyon offer alternatives for those who prefer a different setup. The campground fills quickly around holiday weekends, but timing a visit for the shoulder of a holiday week, as the post-Labor Day crowd thins, can yield noticeably quieter conditions.
Facilities include clean showers, laundry, and reliable water pressure. Cell service is limited at this elevation. Nightly rates run $27 to $65 depending on site type, and reservations are available. Those planning a late-season stay should take precautions with water lines, as Gary G. notes the laundry and showers are clean and water pressure holds up well throughout the season. Campers who want a fully equipped home base for exploring campsites near Pitkin and the broader Gunnison high country will find this campground worth the drive up.
