Gunnison 2020 Season

Return to Discussions

Hi all, I didn't see a Topic for 2020 yet so I figured I'd start one. I have been one time this season (last week) and I think I'm gonna try to go tomorrow. Saturdays are usually when I can go since I'm still working from home. I'll share some info in case anyone is wondering.

As of last weekend Saturday June 6th, the lot was cut down to 50% available parking. There was no entry fee to get into Sandy Hook when I got there. Also, they kicked us off of the beach at 7pm. The bathrooms were open, but the food trucks were closed I believe. The blue pathway is gone, so sand all the way. The signs said no lifeguards on duty, and the lifeguard towers were all down, but there were still 3 lifeguards in chairs near the water. The south side of the beach was still blocked off and a ranger was sitting there so no one would go past the line.

Hope that helps, and if anything changes as of tomorrow I'll come back and update my post. Adios!

Edit: As of Wednesday June 17th 2020:
- The lot will be back to full capacity
- Blue Path has been returned and extended farther down the beach
- Normal fees will be collected again. $15 Day Pass or $75 Season Pass

RE:Gunnison 2020 Season

hello friend,

an update on Gunnison. I went yesterday, 6/15 and the blue matting now is in place. They have lengthen it quite a bit. As you get towards the end it bears off a bit to the left where you have to be clothed; I thought/wished it went towards the right for the clothing optional. But it's still a good improvement.

The charge for parking will start on 6/17; same rates as last year.

Enjoy
