Sandstone Cabin sits in a clearing surrounded by a mixture of lodgepole pine, aspen and mixed conifer forest at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Wildlife viewing is abundant in the area, including elk, deer and moose.

Located just 40 miles north of Steamboat Springs on the Colorado-Wyoming border but a world away from “real life,” the expansive 200,000-acre Three Forks Ranch embodies the true West — rich in history, resources, and opportunity. With only 15 guest rooms, our Lodge and Spa is a luxury getaway, replete with the most decadent amenities and superior personalized service. Our decades-long commitment to sustainable land use and conservation is evident in the tens of thousands of pristine, private acres at your disposal to explore with abandon.
Seedhouse Guard Station is located approximately 26 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was constructed in 1933 and offers a unique lodging opportunity for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in the Routt National Forest.This historic cabin is available for rent in the fall and winter. Guests can drive directly to the cabin when the roads are clear; however, winter access is only available by snowmobiling, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing over three miles from the end of the plowed road. The cabin offers some amenities, but guests need to pack in several of their own supplies.
Trailheads leading to hiking and horseback riding trails are an easy drive from the guard station. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail passes near the cabin through the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness. Anglers can fish for trout in the Elk River. In winter, the area is blanketed by snow for wintertime play. Snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing are popular activities. All motorized activity, including snowmobiling, is prohibited in wilderness areas.
The guard station is nestled beneath a canopy of fir and pine forest at an elevation of 8,000 feet along North Fork Elk Creek near the Middle Fork Elk River. Mount Zirkel Wilderness is nearby, one of the original areas protected under the 1964 Wilderness Act. The area boasts ecosystems ranging from sagebrush meadows in the lower areas to alpine tundra at high elevations. Wildlife is abundant near the cabin, including elk, deer and coyote. Migratory birds, squirrels and an occasional black bear find habitat in the forest as well.
Across the road from Seedhouse Campground. Less than 3 miles from several trail heads, many with access to the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area. Close to the Elk River. Closest store and restaraunts are Clark Store and Glen Eden Resort and Hahn Peak Roadhouse.

Rudest management and worst customer service I've ever experienced. Would give 0 stars but that's not an option. In January we booked a cabin for our family for 5 nights at the end of July. We were then contacted this week(2 months later) saying they've decided to do a construction project and can no longer offer the cabin we booked. They asked if they could move me to a tent site since they had no other cabins available. I advised we don't have a tent, that's why we booked a cabin. They then told me that they had a cabin but it was only available for 2 of the 5 nights we had booked and asked if I wanted that. The other"great" option was they could just cancel all together(with full refund, as if that was them doing me a favor) and we could find somewhere else. Well, at this point I've lost 2 months and the majority of places are fully booked due to a large baseball tournament happening this same week. So, I agreed to take the 2 night so that I could at least have something while I looked for another place. I was then informed that the cabin they were moving us to was$100 more per night and they could not adjust the price(even though this was completely their doing). When I asked to speak with a manager I then had the great pleasure of speaking with General Manager Bob Junker. Bob began to get very rude when I asked if there was anything they could do due to the incredible inconvenience they caused us. He acted as if this was a bigger inconvenience to him than us and initially threatened to cancel even the 2 nights in the more expensive cabin they moved us to. He proceeded to tell me that they can get full price for the"premium cabin" they were moving me to and had no reason to give it to me for our original cabin's price. At this point in the conversation I asked to speak with his boss to which he said"No" and stated he can make whatever decisions he wants and ended the conversation. You'd think that would be the end but the story gets better! After attempting to contact the owners of the campground to lodge a complaint I received a call the next day from good ole Bob saying they were just going to cancel my reservation all together and hung up. I guess my call to the owning companies office made its way back to him Thanks Bob for the incredibly horrendous customer service! Really well done! I hope you're proud of yourself for ruining our trip and making that extra couple hundred bucks! Here's to hoping you're not actually the owner and they eventually decide to get rid of you for causing their sales to decline by losing customers.
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.
Guide
Great in the fall to listen to the elk bugling! Gorgeous aspens that quake in the breeze. Beautiful forest! Very well-apportioned cabin with shower.
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
LegendRight outside of Steamboat Springs is Steamboat KOA. This campground has so many perks. Not only is there a beautiful Mountain View but it also has the Yampa river running through it. It has Rv sites, cute cabins, and tent sites. The Rv sites are separated in areas by what you need(electric, water, sewage). The RV sites each have picnic tables and a fire ring. There are regular cabins and deluxe ones which both include tables and fire rings. The tent area is located across the river and is so peaceful. There is a general store, putt putt, propane fill, a small dog run, bikes for rent, swimming in season and the city bus comes to take you to town for free. Although it is located right off the road, it was still peaceful and I felt safe. My favorite part about this campground is the fact you can stand on the bridge or sit by the Yampa River and enjoy the beauty and sounds, and watching people fly fish.
Traveler
This is one of our favorite campgrounds in Colorado. We make a habit of visiting the week after Labor Day. The crowds are gone and the campground is peaceful. Amenities as small boat rentals remain open. The local deer migrate into the campground. A site on lake’s edge is usually available. Fall’s morning fog greet you in the morning. Outstanding mountain and lake views suttound your campsite.

We absolutely love staying here! Many options to stay including walk in camping and covered wagon cabins. There is a long steepish trail that leads to many camp sites along the river. You are not allowed to drive to camp, you must walk your gear in. Very shaded and flat areas built for tents in each site, picnic table, gas grill with propane, fire pit, showers and bathrooms are a short distance away. Running water and easy access to the Hot Springs too.
The place is always updating and staying on top of upkeep. It has many pools of various sizes and temperatures. Even river access to cool off when it's not moving too quick.
As you can see on this visit, we were snowed on. As it seems to be a crazy season this spring 2019- be prepared for muddy rough conditions on the road to the Hot Springs entrance. It can require 4x4 and sometimes is not passable. Depending on weather and conditions. See there website and/or call!
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've stayed at the Steamboat Springs KOA multiple times over the past couple years for many reasons. It's close enough to downtown Steamboat, right on the Yampa, and has plenty of things to do for the whole family. There is a small pool, updated miniature golf course, trike rentals and the Yampa running through the campground.
I love the ability to ride into town to the mountain bike trails on Emerald Mountain. On your way back from the amazing singletrack, be sure to stop at Taco Cabo to grab to-go grub and head down the road to Storm Peak Brewing for a cold barley pop with your amazing takeout.
Some of the RV spots are close to each other, but the park is quiet overall. Across the bridge over the Yampa River, there are plenty of tent spots. The facilities are clean and there are plenty of showers to keep all campers clean.
GuideThis is by far our favorite campground in the Colorado State Park system. It’s great for families because you of the swim beach and marina. The views are spectacular. Don’t miss the homemade fudge.
GuideColorado does a great job with their parks and this is no exception. Stayed here spur of the moment booking two nights prior to the stay. It’s a large facility and when we booked, for a midweek stay, there were 11 sites available, one with power. We had a large site with great views of the mountains and if we stood on our tippy toes we could see the lake.
We’ll be back aiming to snag one of the sites with lakeside views.
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.
TravelerWe had a fantastic time at Steamboat Lake! Our family of 4 (5 year old & 9 year old) enjoyed the location, amenities, and nearby trails. The lake is beautiful and can be busy but the area has a lot to offer within hiking, riding, and short driving distance.
RangerWell north of Steamboat Springs, up a beautiful valley and on a nice man-made lake. The sites are on top of each other and the beetle kill of the pines have made this a bit barren looking. Campsite can get loud with lots of family stuff going on. The lake is nice for a canoe and paddle board. Good launching point for hikes and MTB.
Leave no trace.
RangerSteamboat Lake State Park has something for everyone. There are hookup sites and no amenity sites. For the non hookup sites there are water spigots throughout the campground and vault toilets (they were clean but stinky). At the marina loop there is a dump station, coin laundry, flush toilets and coin showers. Various privacy depending on where which site you're in as well as views. Some sites back up to the road and some have great views of the lake. This is a reservation only campground. If you drive in and find an un-reserved site you can take it for the night but need to reserve online for subsequent nights. Hiking nearby is AMAZING and there is mountain biking and activities in Steamboat Springs.
GuideWe stayed for 2 nights in late July, in the Sunrise Vista, Arnica loop (site 16). Next time we will try for other sites in sunrise that have wonderful views of the lake & surroundings (not in the inner loop right next to the vault toilet 😃). Well maintained. Sunrise is a moderate-long walk from the Marina, so if you are there for a lot of water activity, Dutch Hill might be more desirable. Nice hiking trails, also. We were hoping to get in a little work while there, but lack of WiFi prompted us to head to Steamboat Springs when that was needed. Don’t expect a lot of shaded spots-very few options that we saw. Overall, highly recommend this place!
ScoutSteamboat Lake has been a great go to campground due to the fact that it’s beautiful, close to a great town and natural hot springs. Unfortunately I hadn’t been there in many years and didn’t realize how many trees are gone. This made for very hot camping as well as a complete lack of privacy. Usually that isn’t a huge deal but we did happen to end up smack in the middle of many families who knew each other with screaming children. Also even with a fire ban, people seem to have propane fueled bonfires that the park said is somehow still legal. Don’t know how the size of the flame we saw is considered safe even without a fire ban. Was supposed to be a relaxing trip but ended up the opposite. Seems to only really be a good place to go if you’re heavily into water activities. But even then they found toxic algae in the lake and we couldn’t make body contact with the water. I don’t hold any of these things against the campground, but again with zero tree coverage, it just exacerbated the issues we faced.
GuideLake is full even in early September. Amazing and refreshing
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.
ScoutBeautiful tent sites by the lake. 186-188 are quiet and beautiful. Especially during the week! Highly recommend!
TravelerPlanned on staying 3 nights but only stayed 2. Both my son's got sick from the high weeds/grass that surrounds the sites. Not all sites have shade so be sure to check out pictures to make sure you have some shade. Lake fishing was fantastic. We caught several large trout from the shore. Lots of wildlife and even though the campgrounds were full, you didn't feel like you were packed in there. We stayed in the Arnica loop. Easy access to the lake/ hiking trails, vault toilets. Showers were in the next camping loop a mile or so down the road.
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.
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.
TravelerNice amenities and close to lots of other attractions for exploring.
ScoutGreat views of the lake. Lots of hiking and biking nearby. We camped on the non-electric loop and there were very few people. The sites were spread out with trees and some privacy. The electric loop was full and the sites very close together.
GuideVery beautiful campground! Spacious spots, beautiful big lake and very peaceful. I took some photos just before it open in May.
TravelerAbsolutely loved this campground. We stayed on Bridge Island and there are plenty of sites with good distance between. The day we went a pretty good storm rolled in late afternoon so the shelters at some of the further inland sites came in handy. You really can’t go wrong view-wise at any of the sites. Amenities included showers (paid by quarters and very short), fire pits, wheel barrow for toting supplies from the parking lots to any of the far sites, picnic tables at each site, potable water, and restrooms. Don’t forget you will need to pay the park pass fee on top of the cost of your camping site unless you have a state pass!
