What campers say
Dinner Station Campground in Almont, CO offers scenic, well-kept sites with easy Taylor River and reservoir access, plenty of shade and large open spaces. Many visitors praise attentive camp hosts and clean restrooms, and long‑time guests describe a family‑friendly atmosphere. Practical tradeoffs include popular sites filling up quickly and some variability in water and facilities - a few guests reported a broken or silty well pump and there is at least one report of an unpleasant host interaction. If you value river access, views and a relaxed, off‑the‑beaten‑path setting, confirm current water/facility status before arrival.
