Granite Tent Campground — Attraction in Colorado

We stayed here on a Thursday evening before hiking the four pass loop. That evening it was easy to grab a spot pretty late, it looked like Friday would be another story as people were showing up, setting up tents and then leaving to snag a spot.

It's all walk in tent sites that are decently spaced out. I was worried about the road being noisy because you're right next to it but it quieted down at night and the river definitely helps drown out noise.

Below the Taylor Reservoir is the catch and release portions of the Taylor, tons of huge trout are visible from the bridge. Not the easiest fish to catch fish but normally has good water conditions when other places do not. The bathrooms aren’t the the greatest, not because of cleanliness. They have a strong urine smell, but to me it was a minor...

Beautiful set of campsites along the river, with easy water access. Pit toilets on site, and not too far a drive from Almont for supplies/dining, or as a jumping off point to Taylor Reservoir or rock climbing.
