North Bank Campground

Free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour front desk anchor North Bank Campground within the vast expanse of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests. This Almont, CO site serves as a practical base for accessing over 3,500 miles of trails carved by indigenous peoples, early explorers, and miners. The surrounding forest system spans more than 3 million acres, managed by five Ranger Districts that oversee everything from ski resort towns to farming communities across 11 counties. The land itself holds deep history, tracing back to the Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve established in 1892, before the Grand Mesa and Uncompahgre units merged in 1954 and the Gunnison unit joined in 1973. Visitors utilize the campground's ample parking to launch into diverse activities including hiking, fishing, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and off-highway vehicle use. The location maintains a 4.00/5 rating from local reviewers, reflecting its role as a reliable stop for those seeking solitude and scenic beauty on Colorado's Western Slope.
