$10; $5 with senior/interagency pass. Camped in site 8 on Oct 12, 2024; in my opinion, this is the best site. Short walk to his/hers vault toilets in day use area. Trash cans nearby. Site was level & accommodated my van. Area for setting up tent. Hammock camping possible. We'll water pump located near entrance to campground next to site #2. Picnic table and metal firering on site. Overall, the campsite was clean. Good separation between sites. Some trees and foliage between sites. Site was mostly shaded. Encampment River was behind the site. Hiking trail nearby. Liked this campground. I would stay here again. Campground was well maintained, and the vault toilet was clean and stocked. Very weak T-Mobile and AT&T service.
GuideThis is a nice quiet KOA that is reasonably priced. All facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and it’s close enough to the city of Craig and a few attractions

We hit this place coming from the northern Colorado border with Wyoming on a Sunday night. I've grown up and camped in Colorado my whole life, this place was 10/10, and one of my favorite spots ever! With hiking, biking, and fishing, you could spend some time here!

This is a pet friendly campground around a square park right on 40. They have electric and non electric sites, but the majority were electric (and cost more). This was advertised $15 - $20 but the prices online were $38.50 for an electric site for one night (granted, it was a Saturday in August). There were not pet fees. There were lots of spaces available when we visited.
There is no office here, you pay for your rental online or on an iPad in the kiosk (if working). There is WiFi at the kiosk, but it does not reach many of the campsites well.
Sites are close together but level. Felt safe and it was quiet at night save for occasional passing cars. No fire pits or individual picnic tables, but there is a shared covered picnic area.
Clean bathrooms. Showers were more of a 2.5/5. Not super clean and water smelled rusty. Water from sink was fine though.
Morning became very busy with travelers stopping to use the public restrooms, which may help you decide where to park.

This was our first stop on a week long road trip from Colorado Springs to the Oregon Coast and, honestly, we could have just hung out there and saved all the miles.
It was a such a beautiful area mid September. All the leaves were changing, it was cool and misty, the view was spectacular, yes it was rough as hell to get there, but totally worth it if you’ve got the rig for it.
My only note for the area was that there were a lot hunters walking through and around our camp, but everyone was polite and respectful.
TravelerJust to update this since the last review had it closed. The road leading up to the summit is back open, but it is ROUGH. I had just done Rock Creek's drive up to dispersed near Dillon and thought that was bad, but this was worse.
You will not be able to get anything low clearance or anything you're towing that does not have independent suspension + high clearance (I dropped my 18' TT at Walmart and went to scout - glad I did) While I was 1/4 up into the climb, a Sprinter Van was stopped at what is probably the worst portion of the road. If you can make it past that first choke point, you'll pass a park then walk-in camp site on the left and then shortly after another camp spot on the right that is more van friendly. Both are not good for trailers. It is after those two sites the road goes from bad to worse.
If you have a Camper on a F350 or high clearance + tent, it has some of the best views I've seen at a park spot. It's worth the drive up there for pictures if you're curious, but I would unhook anything you're carrying before doing so.
Traveler
Beautiful location and very well maintained. Just a lot of road noise even through the night from high speed traffic to and from Steamboat.
GuideThe campground is beautiful, staff is friendly,you get a covered picnic table. The disappointing thing is the nice bathroom and showers are closed 10pm -6am, just a vault toilet is available during those closed hours. The have a path you can walk or bike that is a little over a mile but be ready the mosquitos are fierce. There are also small black bugs that seem to out also.
ScoutI'm not a huge fan of State Parks, but when it's time, it's time. This one has showers (included in the fee), laundry, wifi at the entrance building. The RV sites are a bit close together, the tent sites are much more private. The RV sites have an awning-like structure with an enclosed side to the west. It provides nice cover for the summer afternoon showers. There are lots of mosquitos as it's in Yampa river bottom land. There is a nice reservoir and swimming beach at a nearby state run park (your fee for camping at YRSP will get you into the other park). We stayed 2 nights after dispersed camping for a week - showered, did laundry, battled the mosquitos.
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.
Guide
Unfortunately the road is closed right now, I’m not even supposed to be here idt but I foraged through the woods from the campsites further back north on the dirt road. But I figured I’d at least let yall know there is a campsite here.
ScoutRoad closed right by buffalo Pass campground. No way of getting through to spots and no sign of when the road will open
Guide
The coordinates get you here but there is nothing at the coordinates. You have to drive just a short distance further to find a spot. It is super quiet and very pretty. 4 bars Verizon.
GuideThis seems like a new park, trees are young, picnic tables are all covered. I pulled in before the office closed and got a site, otherwise go to Reservations.gov. Showers and laundry is available near the office. Vaulted toilets are available nearer the camp sites. Well cared for, like I said it seems brand new.
TravelerA good spot to find. No services. No cell. Just a couple of spots but no one else around the 1st of October. A traveler's overnight spot
ScoutThe forest road was a bit washed out in some places and required decent clearance but outside of a few big bumps the road was a fun ride! Campsites were many but pretty full upon my late arrival. Would recommend daylight arrival if possible as many spots didn’t appear obvious in the night!
RangerVery close to US40, making it a great place to stop for the night while traveling. Sites are fairly close with little screening. Continuous Highway noise. Sun shelters. It is along the river which is nice. River access.
Ranger
Nicely separated sites. Superb view of Hawn’s peak. Depending upon chosen site, good views of lake or Hawn’s park. Site 42 just glimpses of lake. Campground was nearly empty mid week late September. Nice. Quiet. Level spots large tent pads. Heated flush restrooms and showers. Very limited T-Mobile. Very good star watching.
TravelerThe drive up Buffalo Pass is tricky, and definitely requires clearance the further up you go. We found an amazing spot over Labor Day weekend with wildflowers and great views. The spot was at a bit of an angle. The rain paid off with incredible rainbows!
Traveler
Shame as it looked like a great spot!
LegendWith a total of 8 well-maintained sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, this campground strikes the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness. The availability of essential facilities like a vault toilet and trash cans makes roughing it a bit easier. Plus, the added convenience of a boat ramp is a definite bonus for those looking to get out on the water.
Whether you're in a small rig or a larger one, you're covered here. There's a convenient pull-through site for ease of access, and the remaining spots can easily accommodate rigs between 20 to 25 feet. What's more, most of the sites are nestled beneath the cool shade of majestic trees, offering a cozy respite from the sun. The combination of well-equipped sites, riverside tranquility, and a touch of shade makes for an decent camping experience.
RangerYes, the road is rough, especially the higher up you go - take your time and have an appropriate vehicle. But it's worth it. So many options - spots with overlooks, tree-covered spots, open field spots. Something for everyone. It was hard to pick! I pulled off and found a place behind some rocks with nice grass and a fire ring, and several more grass/fire rings, but pitched my tent on some rocks. It was stunning. Didn't hear a single person or noise. I wish I had had more time. I will be back!!
GuideNice Town park with 53 sites according to the website. We came through on our way to Brown’s park and Flaming gorge . We used the dump station, $5 and took our dogs on a walk. The park was quite and only had 5 campers in it at the time. We are planning to come back and stay to explore this area of the state. There is gas and a convenient store on the next block. Below is a quote from the website.
During summer months, visitors come here to play on the Yampa and Green Rivers. They also enjoy Maybell as a gateway to Sandwash Basin, Irish Canyon, Browns Park, and Dinosaur National Monument. During the hunting season, our normal population of 75 nearly triples, when Maybell becomes home away from home to hunters. Spots are now reservable on camplife.com.
Scoutrough 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.
ScoutThis was an awesome little diamond in the rough! We had a blast and it was absolutely beautiful. Totally worth the drive to find this place!!!! Camping spots were kind of close but it wasn't at all packed and what a beautiful little lake!! Lots of trees and a bunch of wild flowers. It was just a great family place!! The lady running the campground was super friendly and helpful. We would absolutely stay there again!!
Guide
I came here for one night (a Saturday) and there were plenty of spots available for first come first serve. That said, it is an 18 mile long dirt road to get in so it would stink to get there and not find a spot. I would reserve if possible. The camping spots were clean and the toilets were in good shape. Prepare yourself for a lot of biting insects so I would bring a screen house if you are staying for more than one night. The lake was gorgeous!
LegendThis is an okay campground for one night. Pros: easy access, river for fishing, well maintained, handicap campsite with paved area, shelters over picnic tables, nice packed pea gravel perimeter trail that is wheelchair accessible. Cons: no showers, sites are elec only with shared spigots to get water, vault toilets, right on hwy 40 which is super busy so you hear traffic 24/7, the mosquitos here will TOTE YOU OFF!!! They swarm the minute you step outside so be sure to have plenty of bug spray.
