Traveler
The Dutch Hill Campground is north of the State Park Visitors Center on highway 62 in case you get there after hours as we did. We stayed at site 140 in the Wheeler loop. It was level and quiet with a tent pad a short distance away and a separate pad with a fire ring and picnic table. Bring a change of clothes as the mornings and evenings are chilly in June with warm short pant days. We had thunderstorms blow through most every day with 30+ mph winds possible. There is a store at the lake with basic provisions and there are restaurants and food stores down the road from the lake.
Scout
Only one loop was open/plowed, but that was plenty as I was the only one there for a couple nights. Nothing spectacular about this place during winter, but it appears to be a popular ice fishing spot. 30 amp power was clean. Wasn’t horrible leveling a small camper, but I can see why larger ones would have a hard time.

Never experienced such unreasonable treatment and Lack of Accountability in a business like this. We drove for 4 hours to reach this place and arrived feeling very hungry, we informed the staff that we wanted to grab something to eat and before starting the hot spring. The staff first said that we could pay upon our return. Then, I asked to use the bathroom, but was informed that there was a fee to enter. So I paid $40 in cash for two people, but no receipt was provided. The staff assured us that they would remember us and let us in when we returned.
However, upon our return, we encountered a different staff member, and had to explained the situation to them. Unfortunately, this individual did not believe our story and refused to let us enter. I suggested that they contact the previous staff member for verification, but the staff member in glasses either declined or claimed to have left their phone behind. Suddenly, in an extremely rude manner, he stood up, leaned out the window, and yelled at me, saying,"Don't tell me what to do!!!!This is private property, and you need to leave!!!!!"
This treatment made it seem as if we were attempting to sneak into the premises. At this point, I no longer wanted to proceed with the hot spring experience. I agreed to leave, but requested a refund for the$40 I had paid. However, this staff member adamantly refused to reimburse me and continued to yell at us, insisting that we leave.
It is incredibly frustrating that they couldn’t even find my payment record because everything was by cash and I never received a receipt. I wasted $40 and endured a grueling 4-hour drive, only to be met with an absolutely unreasonable situation. I’ve been to many hot springs before, never in my life experienced something terrible like this. I urge everyone to learn from my lesson and avoid visiting this place!!
Guide
Office people are very friendly. Staff escorted me to the site and was very helpful.
The grounds are pretty and well kept and clean. Showers were spotlessly cleaned.
The river runs right next to the campground.
There is a bus that comes right into the campground and will take you into downtown Steamboat Springs, and it is a free service. It runs until 1130pm.
Site 74 was perfectly flat and needed no leveling. Plenty of room for my 30' trailer.
I will be returning to this place!
TravelerI thought this was going to be a real campground with reserved spots as it costs 110$ per night and they say reservations are necessary. However they offered me car park and a spot by the river where I could walk down and cook. There are bathrooms on site too. I decided it wasn’t worth it as I was planning on spending most of the evening at hot springs anyway - did that ($20) and then found a spot elsewhere to park for the night.
ScoutWomen’s restrooms were great and hook ups were awesome. Camped here in our pop up truck camper for a ski weekend and it was great - the free city bus stops by the campground so was super easy to ride to the ski resort and downtown for dinner!
GuideThis park has an old and new section. Right on the river. The older (cheaper) section was ok, but muddy and tight for big rigs. Newer section compares to premium resorts
GuideLake is full even in early September. Amazing and refreshing
ScoutBeautiful tent sites by the lake. 186-188 are quiet and beautiful. Especially during the week! Highly recommend!
ScoutThis site has some great amenities and the location is not too far from town. The facilities were clean, and the site is well maintained. But, the only showers are in the bath room by the front desk, it is a trek. There is no shade on the far side of camp, but the sites by the entrance have tons of trees! The river is nice, but there aren’t a whole lot of access points.
GuideIt’s a large park convenient to steamboat springs. WiFi is good restrooms are clean. Sites in the new section are paved and level. There are only bathrooms in the new section, no showers, so there is a significant walk to get a shower.
RangerWe stayed at the Steamboat KOA for 2-1/2 weeks on a business trip and greatly appreciated the solid Wi-Fi. The setting is idyllic with mature trees and the beautiful Yampa River running through it. The first half of our stay we were in the original Campground with a center, gravel, pull thru, #71. Then, moved to #31 a back-in site against the fence and away from the road. Although it was smaller, we personally liked #31 better. It had more privacy then the larger open center one. The park opened a new section for Memorial Weekend doubling the size. The new area added 27 paved RV lots as well as 10 deluxe cabins and 14 improved tent sites. They had a large friendly staff, working nonstop who took care of everything!! Every arrival received a person golf cart escort to their site. The general store is well stocked, there’s movie nights and a playground for the kiddos. All the facilities were clean and well maintained. By the end of our stay we felt like family thanks to Lance, Ruth and Beth.
GuideWe had reservations for site 184 in the Dutch Hill Campground for Memorial Day Weekend and we didn't let the forecast of snow and below freezing temperatures keep us away. It scared every other tent camper off and we had the walk-in loop to ourselves. The camp host called us his heroes for camping in that weather. Our site was fairly close to the parking lot and we don't pack light so we made a few trips with the provided wheelbarrow. The site had great views of the lake and a shelter that was necessary given the rain and snow. Note-not all sites had shelters. The vault toilet at the top of the loop was clean. Dumpsters were in a few places but not bear proof at all. Firewood was 9$ per bundle at the marina. Shower house was open and operational but we didn't pack for a shower so didn't use it. Overall, a great campsite-but not sure how it would've been if the weather hadn't kept the crowds away.
TravelerI mistakenly marked this as closed but it is OPEN and looks lovely. Did not stay here overnight but laid eyes on it and verified even though it is for sale it is OPEN and operating.
ScoutWow
ScoutWater and electric hook up for RVs. Cabins. Laundry. Near a beautiful river. Only downside is that it’s a little expensive and right off the highway
GuideWe had a good time camping here and we rented a boat and went on the lake. But the wind was intense in the evenings. I wouldn't go back here with a tent.
TravelerFun over all. The lake was not far from our site and very easy to find. A nice trail leads to it. Toilets were clean. A lot of kids biking and walking by as well. Site 17 is a great spot . No fire allowed when we went and you can’t set up a hammock either.
LegendDriving by, we pulled in and it is a great location - so we booked in. I imagined bbq overlooking the lake every night.
But. I need data and the towers were over a hill, so absolutely no data coverage on any of my hotspots. What a pity because the location and view are awesome.
Only electricity, dump and water available- but water is locked at the single faucet ( apparently non campers drive by and top up)
There is a new Verizon tower right opposite, but apparently not yet in service
GuideA 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.
GuideWe spent one night in an RV site. The campground is about 40 min North of steamboat springs. Well worth the drive. Beautiful views day and night.
GuideLake was full, not low like many reservoirs. Campsites were clean but rvs just parked on road next to tables. Some sites had covered tables. It seemed to be windy every afternoon. Close to Kremmling for supplies and shopping.
Traveler
They had fire grates and toilets for the campsite. It was first come first served and is only $6 a night. The views were nice and the wildflowers were unbelievable. Gotta bring a paddle board for the lake next time I go!
TravelerCampground is easy to get in and out of. 43' plus toad was no problem in and out if site. Also easy access to the water and boat ramp. It also had great views. Wind was not too bad for us but that meant lots of very hungry mosquitos so pack up on deet (was still attacked after spraying the 30%). T-Mobile service is non-existent. AT&T was okay for calls but challenging for data without a booster. (cell tower is to the West but behind a large hill). Sites to the south may have better coverage.
GuideFrom the moment we came the staff were very friendly. The kids enjoyed the playground and I enjoyed the mini golf. Water and power worked well, cable tv seemed to have issues but I may have had a bad cable. There's enough room between sites on the river side.
TravelerLoved the location and views. Loved how close it was to coming up back way to park city resorts and avoiding all the traffic and resort riff raff in the mornings
