Almont Campground

$16/night but 50% with Interagency Pass made this a no-brainer for the night. We rolled in around 8pm on a Friday night in July and were lucky enough to get site 1. There were also 2 tent sites available which would fit a small van, but it was a little noisy on that side.

Traffic during the day is a little noisy but the river is delightful at night and early morning.

Nice scenery, pit toilets, well water pump, & trash stations made this 100% worth 8 bucks.

ATT - hotspot would not connect
Verizon - 0 bars on phone
T-Mobile hotspot - 5 down/1 up

We *loved* staying here. Our 35 foot motorhome and Jeep both fit in the first RV site you get to. Otherwise, only much smaller RVs will fit here.

First come, first serve. Outhouse-style toilets and water available (from a water pump, only one for the campground). The fact that the sites are all right on the Gunnison River is huuuuge plus. We brought our chairs down to it and let our two year old splash around and throw rocks. It was so peaceful.

There are two drawbacks. First, this campground is literally right off the road—which goes up the crested butte—so expect road traffic. It didn’t really bother us though. Second, cell service is tough. We got one bar of LTE (even with a cell booster) but it was hard to get work done. Otherwise, this place was a hidden gem.
