About Campfire Ranch on the Taylor
We believe campgrounds should be more fun, more accessible and more inclusive for all kinds of campers - that's why we started Campfire Ranch to make camping easier. Our campground is nestled between the granite walls of Taylor Canyon alongside the Taylor River in central Colorado, halfway between Gunnison and Crested Butte, CO. If you've never been to the area, get ready to be amazed, with over 2,500 square miles of public land, 700+ miles of singletrack trail and countless rivers, creeks and lakes to explore. We'll see y'all in the woods! We will open May 15th for the 2026 season! Please contact us before booking if you are seeking a family focused experience - we do not have a kids area or playground and require that children under the age of 16 be in the company of an adult at all times due to our proximity to Co Rd 742 and the Taylor River. No multi-room tents are allowed at camp, we simply don't have the room, the largest tent size we can accommodate is 12'x12' - please inquire if you have specific tent questions. You can check-in with us anytime after 3pm the day of your reservation, please message us if you need to check-in after 8pm. All campers will be required to sign our release of liability waiver before camping (parents/guardians will have to sign for minors in your group) - you can review these terms and rules on our website: CampfireRanch.co

My friends and I stayed here for two nights and had a fantastic time! Wyatt, the campground manager, was such a pleasure to be around and managed the campground very professionally. Free firewood is a game changer!
Loved this place! Very convenient location. Host was awesome, very friendly and gave us great recommendations for hikes. I forgot my sleeping pad and was able to rent one from them as well. Highly recommend!!
Friendly and personable staff! Love that they called and let us know about the local festivities. Clean toilet!!! Free firewood! Love it!
The site was nice, but the price, relative to what we received, was too high. We won't be running back. It's double what we would have paid at another local campground wihtout the added benefit of parking near our site. We received about $5 in free firewood and $3 in free drinks and snacks. Doesn't add up.
The stay is what I was hoping for - an opportunity to reconnect with the outdoors while being relatively close to Gunnison and Crested Butte. The views at the site are gorgeous. There’s an easy hiking trail right there, too. Since you can’t drive up to the site, there are wheelbarrows to tote your gear along with free firewood. The grounds are clean and everything looks well taken care of. Although no running water in the toilet, it was clean. Fresh drinking water is available from a hand-pump well and it is so good! (I live in Florida and we don’t have great water.). The site is dog…
