We loved camping at Campfire Ranch! Located inside the mountains and next to the river, the views are beautiful. It's also just a short 20 minute drive into Crested Butte. We even get complimentary drinks on arrival.
When all other campgrounds in the area are closed for the season or are full, and with hotels being so expensive, this was seriously so great to have found!

This is my favorite campground I have visited this year! They helped us out when our tent nearly blew away, and were so kind and helpful! Stayed at this campground twice this summer and I’ll be back again! The unlimited firewood is one of my favorite perks. You will not regret staying here.

Campfire Ranch was an excellent stay! The camp host (Wyatt) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The Ranch provided so many great amenities (unlimited firewood, wheelbarrows to carry equipment, extra equipment, etc.) - it made our stay so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend for a convenient and scenic location near CB!

This campsite was WONDERFUL! Very private while also having phone service was nice. The staff was AMAZING and had wonderful suggestions. I loved that they provided the firewood. It was already cut and they even provided some kindling. The site is very well maintained and they do have the best bathroom in the Valley! Will be back again!

This is the best camping spot in the state!
Gunnison, Crested Butte, Ouray and the other places to explore in this area are a hiker’s dream. Waterfalls, Rock Canyons, Rivers, you name it… This area has it! One could spend their entire life here and not scratch the surface of all the wonders this area has to offer.
However, what made our trip amazing was the site itself. Campfire Ranch is the right amount away to keep everything “wild” while located perfectly for any activity needed within town. You will not be left wanting with this location.
The best part of our stay was Campfire Ranch itself. As a camper, I always feel like I’m either in BLM land or an RV park. Campfire Ranch is the first place I’ve camped that I truly feel was MADE for tent folk. This business has fire wood (free), wheel barrels (free), fire starter (free), toilets (you guessed it, free), and seclusion. Sam (the owner), and his team are delightful people that take pride in what they are doing and it shows they really care. Stopping at the front desk will leave you in a 30-60 minute conversation with whomever is working it because you genuinely care about them and they you.
This is something special that you have to try. Mark my word, you’ll be a repeat camper at Campfire Ranch. See you there!

Campfire ranch is an amazing campsite with incredible service and convenient amenities. The campsite is located 5 minutes from Almont which has a restaurant and mercantile. It is also only ~15 minutes from Gunnison which is a very large town. Campfire ranch is an amazing place to camp, they provided us with free firewood, had a clean bathroom, running potable water and were in such a beautiful space. Campsites a close together, but the overall experience is incredible.

Wow! Campfire Ranch was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Keenan greeted us in the office and was so friendly and helpful - he got us set up with all the info we needed and gave us a welcome goody bag- such a great touch! We loved how the sites were laid out and the thoughtful design of the property. We had some noisy neighbors who were being loud well past midnight, and after messaging Sam if we could move sites, he was super helpful and accommodating. The property is also a perfect location halfway between Gunnison and CB, great for getting anywhere for excellent hiking, climbing, ATVing, you name it. We loved Campfire Ranch and we’ll be back!

Place is legit. Tanner is a hell of a host. I can’t recommend this place enough. Great campsite. Wonderful accommodations. Super helpful. Free firewood. Drinking water on tap. Complementary beer and coffee. What else do you want?

We arrived after dark and Tanner was there to help us check in. He was very informative and helpful. We even got some welcome beers and a gift bag upon arrival which was a pleasant surprise. Unlimited firewood, fire starters and a wheelbarrow made for a quick and easy setup for our fire. Very clean bathrooms too! All around great experience!

Beautiful area on a cliffside just on the opposite side of the road of Taylor River. The water is great, bathroom is kept tidy, and unlimited firewood for your campsite all provided by Sam. They are very welcoming and accommodating. Loved the experience, would go there again.

We loved camping here! There are only walk-in tent sites so no generators and there’s plenty room between sites. Sam is the best. We will be back. Thank you for such a great time!

Campfire Ranch has the best approach to camping that I've ever seen! Whether you're on a road trip planning a week at a time and can't deal with rec.gov bs, or trying to get into the outdoors without buying all of the gear, Campfire Ranch has got a spot and the gear for you. Incredibly clean and well thought trough all around. Sam was a great host and helped us plan and make most of our time in CO. Be sure to check out their website for more info. Hope they open up more!

My wife and I came to Campfire Ranch to spend a couple nights unwinding from our busy lives and found the best little oasis to fill our needs. Sam was our host, and a fantastic one at that. From the moment we arrived, he was a constant help and encouragement for our weekend aspirations. He taught us the best way to build a fire (and keep it burning), offered us a complimentary tent to borrow after our first night of stormy weather that rendered ours incapable of keeping us dry, and made a ton of great recommendations for hikes, sites and activities in the area. The campsite was fairly close to both Gunnison and Crested Butte, making it easy to pop over there for some exploring or staying in our little nook next to the Taylor River. We will absolutely come back to this campsite, no doubt about it. Thanks again Sam for the wonderful hospitality!

This place is awesome! Sam is super accommodating and really knowledgable about the area. Anything you're interested in doing, he can help guide you in the right direction. I love the concept of Campfire Ranch. It's the perfect place if you're brand new to camping--they have everything you need. If you forget pots and pans, they are only $5 to rent. If you want to try out a Yeti cooler, a nicer tent/sleeping bag, you can rent those too. Unlimited (free) firewood and kindling, shovel/bucket and picnic table at your campsite is super convenient. The only thing to note is that the campsites are pretty close next to each other (much like most organized campgrounds). I highly recommend!!
