Best Tent Camping near Coalmont, CO

This campground has a great view and is conveniently located to town. Tent camp sites are not fantastic or maintained very well.

A basic family style campground directly on the Yampa River within city limits of Steamboat Springs. Tent sites, RV sites, tent cabins and full fledged cabins. We had a tent site right on the river. Miniature golf. Various bikes to rent. This was the priciest camp site on our cross country trip. But it is located within an upscale ski resort town so probably expected. A little noisy from road traffic.

We had a great stay at a tent site here. Our site was number 8, had a tree, and was by the bathrooms. The bathrooms were clean, and had a nice shower as well. Everyone was friendly, the staff and the other people staying there. Lots of RVs, but only three of the regular tent sites were taken and we had the most amazing view!

Leaving a review at 4 stars to keep the average.

We stopped in late looking for a tent spot. The only tent sites this location provides for late check in are their luxury riverside tent sites, despite their being a huge open loop of others(that other tenters had booked earlier in the day). I’m not going to get started on how horribly placed and awkward these late spots are. But I will say you’ll get charged $50/night for them.

We just booked a hotel instead.

rough road up, in a sprinter 4x4, not a lot of great options. seems better for tent camping. did see one or two RVs up, shocked they made it.

Great view. Pretty expensive for a BARE minimum tent site. But facilities are well kept and convenient.

Another peaceful setting, quite a few spots along the lake, RV friendly and some tent sites plus some vault toilets and fire pits

Better than when you found it 

Stay safe Happy travels

Beautiful quiet campground  but a little hard to get to. Road from the east is much better than from Steamboat Springs. Quiet , well maintained,  more suited to car/tent camping. Great views of lake from many sites. Grills, tables, trash and toilets, No water. Went on weeknight  in July and it was about 3/4 full

Right on the lake and super close to the west part of the RMNP. The staff was super helpful and they have free showers (with not time limit) and Wi-Fi in the front office area. If you select tent camping though, just know you have to tow your tent in and don’t park next to the spot so not good for vans (have to get an RV spot)

One of the best campground my family and I have gone to. Tent sites are set back and space and trees separate sites.. 2 great lakes that are stocked (3 kids + 1/2 hr = 12 trout) within walking distance... The chipmunks were alittle intrusive but my dog was fully entertained by them.

This campground is great! The lake is wonderful to kayak on and to fish. The sites are very clean and large. They have a picnic table and fire pit. Of course the sites very in size. There is electric hookups in most sites with the exception of the tent sites. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Lots of trees for shade and beautiful views.

West Lake campground is a beautiful spot off 74. The lake is great for fishing, and the tent campsites are super private. Your pass includes access to other lakes in the surrounding area as well.

We didn’t see any moose but we could definitely hear them early in the morning.

Clean bathrooms and great, friendly hosts!

Loved it, Went on an adventure with my husband, we booked a tent site here because it is cannabis friendly. Which it is. The Hosts are very nice and Accommodating. The views were amazing, met some great people, and chipmunks.
The drive to Fort Collins is about an hour, however it's a beautiful trip. You are a short time away from Chambers Lake, and the Reservoir. Highly recommend this area.

Perfect location if want to hit up winter Park resorts and arapahoe basin, keystone, or breck!! You can take 40 to winter Park in about 50 minutes. And then can take other highway down into silverthorne in 45 min.
Spaces are tight for most part, try to get a end spot if possible. Showers and bathrooms are great and clean. The tent camping is like a 20 ft x 20 ft grass pad so i don't know what that is gonna do. Plenty of land behind for hiking and dirt riding!!
