About
Camp and adventure in the Gunnison-Crested Butte valley at Campfire Ranch. It's still camping, just easier. We feature **walk-in tent** campsites, convenient **amenities**, **demo camping equipment** and an **Adventure Concierge** service!
Located alongside the famed **Taylor River** in Gunnison County, CO is the home of our first campground, Campfire Ranch on the Taylor. Our location is outstanding, positioned on County Road 742, down the road from the newly paved Cottonwood Pass, which is just 18 minutes to Crested Butte and 18 minutes to Gunnison. Taylor Canyon is home to some of the most iconic views in the Central Rockies, abundant recreational pursuits and outstanding access to nearby communities. We can’t wait to have you camp with us!
