Situated along the Taylor River corridor in Gunnison National Forest, Cold Spring is a walk-in campground managed by the US Forest Service with a first-come, first-served policy. No reservations are taken. The Taylor River runs just across the road, and Taylor Reservoir sits roughly seven minutes up the county road, making this a practical base for anglers and paddlers. One vault toilet is on-site. Fires are permitted in the firepit, though firewood is not sold at the campground. No pets are allowed. The season runs May through September, so arrive early in summer weekends to secure a spot, as FCFS sites at this price point fill quickly.
Description
Overview
This location is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
