Best spot on seedhouse road

This spot was prime. about 125yds off seedhouse rad and 50 yds off of the access road. Plenty of room to spread out. Fire ring. Epic View of the mountains in Zirkel Wilderness. It was amazing to come back to our camp spot after hiking the Mount Zirkel Loop trail all day, only being 3 miles down the road. Actually has 3 spots with fire rings so could accommodate more.  70s during the day and 30s at night in June.

Great Dispersed Camping Spot Near Steamboat Springs

Great camping spot near Elk Run River and surrounded by the Rockies. It's a pretty big spot with two sides, so there could be two camping spots or one big one. The drive does a loop where you can tell horse trailers have been pulled through, so there is plenty of room for a group. There's a nearby convenience store in Clark that has a liquor store, deli, and post office. We would love to return and visit the Glen Eden Lodge, too! I'm curious as to what is in Slavonia... I'm sure we'll take a look tomorrow. We did drive past the first spot and noticed a few other camping spots just off the road but turned around before going back too far.
