Almont

Nestled at an elevation of 8,014 feet in the rugged Rocky Mountains, the Almont campground offers a quintessential off-grid experience for those looking to immerse themselves in the Colorado wilderness. This USFS-managed site provides a serene, natural setting perfect for campers who value solitude and the raw beauty of the high country. Because the location operates on a first-come, first-served basis, it appeals to spontaneous travelers and those who enjoy the excitement of finding a hidden gem in the mountains.

This is a primitive, no-hookup location, making it best suited for self-contained RV travelers and experienced tent campers who are fully prepared for backcountry conditions. There are no listed amenities on-site, so visitors should arrive well-stocked with water, supplies, and a leave-no-trace mindset. The site remains accessible year-round, providing a versatile basecamp for those comfortable with moderate terrain and changing alpine conditions.

To secure your spot, you must physically arrive at the campground to claim it. Payment is handled through the Recreation.gov mobile app via the Scan and Pay feature, so be sure to download the app before heading into the mountains, as cellular service can be limited in this remote region.
