3rd Annual Crested Butte Multi-Sport Camping Adventure on the Taylor River

3+ Day Experiental Camping Adventure at Campfore Ranch

The Gunnison Valley and its awe-inspiring views – including Taylor Canyon – will play host to this epic camping weekend near Crested Butte. For the second year in a row, we’ve rented out the entire Campfire Ranch, a private campground halfway between Crested Butte and Gunnison.

Each day is cholk-full of adventures, from fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, to floating the Taylor River, learning about backcountry cooking and astrology from onsite experts, and, if the weather gods allow, a foraging trip to get acquainted with the gorgeous flora and fauna in the area!

Wyld Honeys will be onsite to cook dinners each night, the best musicians in the valley will provide music to accompany each evening, to provide delicious and relaxing evenings. Top them off with a visit to the hot springs nestled into the river across from camp, or pop into the mobile sauna onsite.
