Tall Texan Campground

Pros: This place is centrally located if you have a car , friendly staff, laundry , showers , nice tree coverage

Cons: a bit of a sardine can, very crowded and tight, no views or things to do inside the rv park if you don’t have a car. Do not get a spot near overflow parking , it’s a constant stream of cars morning through evening and no one respects quiet hours .

Pros:
- Location, location, location!!!! Close to town but far enough to feel away. Less than 30 mins from Crested Butte and everything else you need from Gunnison and its surroundings.
- Everyone that works there is super friendly and welcoming.
- They collect your trash from the site; you just leave it by the road and it's gone.
- Wednesday night we had some music and it was super fun!
- Shade! Needed during this hot July.
- The laundry was clean and cheap - $1.25 per load for the dryer and washer.

Cons:
- The cottonwood trees! Yes, it was great to have all that share but they were blooming so the seeds were everywhere and constantly coming down. Because the wind was hard sometimes, it looked like it was snowing! They get everywhere and it's painful to keep anything outside clean. On top of that, the tree sap was intense. Our truck and trailer got absolutely filthy after 6 nights. I know there isn't much what you can do about this but it's one to be aware of.
- The park is extremely tight and they park you like sardines. Our neighbors were very very close; I had a neighbor from each window. Because the sites were so close to each other, the parking situation was not the greatest. Very tight pulling in and out. Another one to be aware of.

Even with the inconvenience of the cottonwood trees, I would still stay there.

TIP: I'd pay more and take one of the premium sites - less dust from the road and appeared to have less cottonwood seeds.

This park has a very friendly staff, and the location was nice(it is hidden so be careful when you turn, it really is down that road), Wifi is ok, but sites around the pond are tight, your front yard is basically your neighbors as well. I would not choose to stay around the pond but would stay at the park again. Nice space, and nice bathrooms and laundry.

Every thing works well. WiFi is passable but as usual gets slow in the evening. Bring your mosquito repellent. Love the cool nights! Sites are close to each other which is typical. Free bus a block away going to Gunnison and Crested Butte a major bonus if you are into public transportation. Took the ski lift in Crested Butte and the views were spectacular. Cell reception fine. All in all a pretty good place to stay if you can tolerate close sites and bugs.

We loved the tall trees and the weather was perfect. The spots are close together. We called at 10:30 a.m. to see if they had a spot open for Thursday. They said they did and they would let us check in early. They have someone in a golf cart direct you to your spot. Very friendly and helpful staff. Used the laundry room and took a shower. Both were clean and good water power.

Let me start by saying it was the 4th of July holiday and the park was full!
The park is a bit on the older side and in a bit of a rundown area sans a couple new house builds around. That aside the park is great, staff is awesome and extremely friendly. My site was a little on the snug side but was ok for my smaller AS. The wifi was a bit spotty but again...it was a holiday weekend and the campground was full. As the title says...The Tall Texan is good for the price and a perfect location for exploring Gunnison, Crested Butte and surrounding areas.
