We are thinking about planning a camping trip to the Taylor Park, Colorado area to ride the trails with our atvs this August. Does anyone here have any experiences with the campgrounds in that area? I have found a lot of great reviews on the trails on different websites but none on camping facilities.
First thing I would do is check with the campground/cabins at the Taylor Park Trading Post area. Find out if there is a big meet happening during the time you want to go. If there is a big meet, chances are most if not all the RV spots may already be reserved.
The good news...there are A LOT of places to dry camp (boondock) in Taylor Park and to be honest, that is my preference, however I only live 3 hours from there. There are pay for dump stations in Buena Vista which I am assuming will be your way back, up over Cottonwood Pass and drop down into Buena Vista. Cottonwood Pass is not bad and I drive it with my 1 ton CC LB with my Grizzly in the bed towing a 8500 lbs 31' TT.
Awesome place TP is. Make sure you bring rain gear and warm cloths as you will be camping at around 9500'. Pay attention to incoming afternoon thundershowers, try to avoid being at high elevation if those start up...you do not want to be caught in lightening.
Most importantly, have a great time, it will be worth the trip.
