One Mile Campground

What if you could wake up to the serene sound of the Taylor River flowing just steps from your campsite? One Mile Campground in Almont, Colorado, defies the expectations of a typical rugged camping experience by blending easy access to recreation with the natural charm of Taylor Canyon's high-elevation beauty.

This campground boasts 25 individual sites, many shaded by lodgepole pine and aspen trees, which create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Each site comes equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and electric hookups, though you'll need to bring your own water as it is not available on-site. Vault and pit toilets are provided for convenience. The campground's location along the banks of the Taylor River offers prime opportunities for fishing, rafting, and kayaking. Additionally, trails for mountain biking, hiking, and rock climbing are within easy reach, while nearby Taylor Park Reservoir, just 13 miles away, invites boaters and anglers alike to enjoy its vast waters.

Situated just 18 miles from Gunnison and accessible via Taylor Canyon Road, this camp is an ideal base for exploring the Fossil Ridge Wilderness Area and the broader Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests. Whether you're planning a weekend retreat or a longer stay immersed in Colorado's outdoor splendor, One Mile Campground provides a mix of recreation and relaxation against the backdrop of sweeping canyon views and crisp mountain air.
