Antone Spring Camping Area is a Forest Service campground in the Norwood Ranger District of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests in Colorado. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the Forest Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Montrose show July highs around 78°F with lows near 53°F, and June and September run a little cooler. That station sits about 1,200 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. The closest neighbor is Grays Creek, a hike about half a mile away. Iron Springs Campground is about 1.2 miles off, and Pool Creek and Old Roubideau are both within about 3 miles.
