Ute III

Amenities Weather Recreation


The Ute III Campsite is located in the Upper Gunnison watershed of Colorado and is a primitive, non-reservable, fee area. It offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and is located near several points of interest, including the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and the Curecanti National Recreation Area.

The campground amenities include a vault toilet, fire rings, and picnic tables. It is important to note that there is no accessible water source at the campsite, so visitors must bring their own water or filter it from nearby streams.

Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to the largest aspen grove in the world, which provides beautiful fall foliage. Additionally, the Gunnison River is a popular destination for fishing, with rainbow and brown trout being the most common catches.

The best time of year to visit the Ute III Campsite is during the summer months, from June to August, when the average temperature ranges from 70-80°F during the day and drops to 40-50°F at night. Visitors should also be aware that the campsite sits at an elevation of 9,000 feet, so it may be cooler than expected during the summer months.
