Amenities Weather Recreation


The Duncan Point Campsite is a primitive and non-reservable campground located in the Upper Gunnison watershed of Colorado. This remote camping spot offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, including the Ragged Wilderness Area and the West Elk Mountains. The nearby Blue Mesa Reservoir and Curecanti National Recreation Area offer opportunities for water-based activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming.

The campground itself is basic, with no modern amenities, but it does have fire rings and vault toilets. It is recommended that visitors bring their own water and firewood. There is no fee to camp at Duncan Point, but visitors are asked to practice leave-no-trace camping and pack out all trash.

Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to a variety of wildlife, including black bears, elk, and mountain lions. The nearby town of Gunnison was once a hub for silver mining, and visitors can still explore historic mining towns in the area.

The best time of year to visit Duncan Point is from late spring to early fall, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-80s. However, visitors should be prepared for sudden weather changes and storms.
