Tall Texan Campground

The park is divided in two. One-half is set up like a typical commercial park with rows of RVs parked next to each other. This side also has cable. The other side is more randomized set around a pond (no cable). We had a spot 81 around the pond which was evidently a coveted spot by some of the seasonals who commented on it as they picked out their spots for next year. It was a nice spot because you are facing the pond and have a large yard.

The campground is fairly quiet and has a good amount of trees. The laundry room is clean and affordable. ATT and Verizon flucuated between 2-3 bars, but was a bit slow.

It's very quick to get into Gunnison and being on the north side is fairly convenient to Crested Butte also. Most of the other campgrounds in the area are on the west side of Gunnsion making for a longer drive to Crested Butte. Gunnison has a couple of grocery stores, lots of restaurants and shopping. Crested Butte is extremely picturesque.

This place is great! Located just far enough away from the small town to not have a lot of noise, but it's located close enough to Crested Butte to for a short drive.

The owner is in the process of selling the place, but as long as he is in charge, you are in for a great place to stay!

The spot we got was probably the best in the entire camp. I noticed the others were a lot closer to their neighbors and if I had one of those spots, I might give it a 4 star, but it was a great place and we enjoyed it a lot!

This campground is about 2 miles north of main street in Gunnison. Easy to get to and the bike/walking trail runs along the main street which is a 1/2 mile walk from the campground entrance. The kids enjoyed walking to the river and watching rafters go by.

The sites themselves were well kept and level. Hookups were fairly easy to get to and no awkward configurations that we saw. The cottonwood trees were shedding during our stay so there was "cotton" everywhere. If you have allergies, don't go during the end of June!

The campground also has tent camping sites and several small cabins which were very nice. Our parents came to visit while we were there and the cabins were clean, cozy and had all the amenities.

We highly recommend asking for sites in the 80s and 90s. They are at the far end of the campground and very quiet and secluded. Site 84 has a fire ring which the others did not. Site 88.5 was also right next to the small pond with a large grassy area.

This area is a bit north of town which is great if you want to make any treks up to Crested Butte. We wished we hd longer but it is hard not to like Gunnison and all there is to do in the surrounding area.

We had good LTE there of 3-4 bars and were able to stream movies and search the internet with ease.

Family of 5 + dog + 35’ keystone bullet. Under new ownership, and entire new staff, super kind and accommodating. Owner Bob has been made obvious improvements and unlike many private campground, they gave us our privacy. 2 miles into Gunnison but super quiet. Super fast internet, very clean, our pooch is perfect off leash and no one said anything about it, cute little pond, nice play ground for kids, lots of tall trees with shade. Very nice place, you’ll love it here! Sites are very close together but early in the season so we don’t have neighbors.

Very nice, helpful, friendly staff! Exceptionally Clean, open spaces with Cotton Wood Trees and stream/ small pond beside our site. Dogs are allowed but strict rules which I like, My Jack had fun walking around watching the birds. Close to Gunnison, Walking/ bike path nearby. Gunnison is cute town, University here, has good restaurants, shopping and Fly Fishing outfitters. I highly recommend Three Rivers Outfitters in Almont. Definitely will return from North Carolina!

Love this place. The staff is great and very friendly. The facilities are clean and the laundry room is nice.
This campground is centrally located to all the outdoor activities and close to town.

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.

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.

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.

Mix of RV and tent camping. The place is pretty well maintained and the tree coverage is great. Dirt roads can be a little dusty unfortunately, and the cell service is deceptive. We had two bars of LTE, but really couldn’t do much with it. Ran a signal test and it was very poor. WiFi is surprisingly decent though!
