One Mile Campground

We spent three nights at One Mile Campground and are already looking forward to returning. Our site was level, very quiet, roomy, and comfortable with a lovely mix of sun and shade due to the surrounding trees. It was a treat to have an electrical hook up for our 30 foot trailer in a national forest campground. And as an added bonus, we were close enough to the towns of Almont and Gunnison to drive to for essentials we needed and to take a cooking break one night and have dinner at the wonderful Garlic Mike's. The campground sits right across the highway from the beautiful and currently rip roaring Taylor River where there were was much rafting, kayaking and fishing happening. The campground is very clean, with the pit toilets being the most immaculate we've sat in! Danielle was our campground host, and the care she took of the place was obvious. Best of all, she was one of those special hosts who was friendly and always available to help, but not the looky-loo, always in-your-face type. When we return, we hope she will still be hosting.

You don't get a choice about whether you want electric or not; all the sites are $30, $19 for Interagency, meaning senior or handicapped, not Annual. There's water, but not at the sites; you'll need a bandit to put any in your tanks. No dump. 30A electric checked out fine. The river is across the highway. The vault toilet is spotless. Our site was large and flat. #24 is probably the best site. We both had 2 bars LTE, yay! The host will come get your payment. IMO, North Bank across the road is a better deal.

Edit - this review should be for North Bank Campground, across the river and road.
We were tucked away here in the valley with the aspens. We could not get a site by the river, but all the sites were lovely and well spaced. We had no problem on the gravel road into the site, and the river between the campground and the highway made for a great sound buffer.

Stayed: 09/26/15 to 09/30/15

I was back for my second stay and had the grounds to myself, except for the hosts. The hosts are fantastic and the facilities great.

Clean and quiet with central access to Gunnison, CB, Ohio Creek Rd. And Taylor Canyon and Reservoir.
