  Eagle Soaring RV Park

  Nice place to stay when visiting the area

  We stayed at Eagle Soaring campground for three nights. We were in our class C while slowly making our way across the country. We had no problems getting a spot here. Sites are gravel for the RV, very level, and very well maintained. All sites are pull through. Hookups are in very good condition. Each site had a narrow grassy area with trees. Tables and fire pits were not available at the campsite. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

  There were not a lot of amenities. There was a large meadow separating the campground from the road. Seating areas with fire pits were available by the meadow.  Showers and laundry are not available.

  Steamboat Springs is just a few miles down the road. There are many indoor and outdoor activities to do in the area.

  The campground is conveniently located a few miles off the highway. The road noise is distant and we did not notice at all in the RV.

  We had 2 bar LTE with Verizon. Our hotspot was usable and performed very well. The campground wifi was average at best.

  We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this campground.  The trees and meadow helped create a relaxing place to stay.  We will stay again when traveling this way.

  Sunrise Vista Campground — Steamboat Lake State Park

  Clean, quiet, dog friendly

  Got a pull through site for my R-Pod. Level site with 15/30/50. No water or sewer on site but nice dump station and water taps everywhere

  Steamboat Springs KOA

  Just a minute outside of Steamboat

  Right 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.

  Encampment River Campground — Bureau Of Land Management

  Nice secluded spots with trees next to the river

  With 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.

  Maybell Park

  Good place to park, more expensive than advertised.

  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.

  Big Creek Lakes Campground

  Beautiful, remote gem in the Rockies

  We camped here July 25th-29th, 2018 with our 5 children (4-13) in our pop up camper. 

  First thing to know is this is a remote area of CO at 9,000+ ft. elevation. It is also an area that has been affected by wildfire (2016). It is still absolutely gorgeous!

  Worst part—> You will have to travel down a gravel/dirt road for ~30 miles to get to the lake and campground. Sections of it are TERRIBLY washboarded. Plan for over an hour to navigate through. You will be rewarded at the end! 

  There is zero cell service (we have Sprint and Verizon), no electric/water/sewer hook ups or bathhouses. There are pit toilets throughout the campground that appeared to be very well maintained and cleaned often. There are also numerous water spigots throughout with potable water. 

  The sites are all HUGE, almost all are pull through and many offer beautiful lake views with trails directly from your campsite to the water. We were in site 14. It did not have a water view, but was still amazing. All sites are gravel and appear to be fairly level. Most have pine trees, boulders and other natural landscaping that adds to the beauty of the campground. Very nice metal fire pits and sturdy, large picnic tables (though many are slightly bowed) were present at each site we saw. Bear proof dumpsters were easily accessible. 

  We had hundreds of chipmunks visit us each day to clean up the kids’ crumbs. We also saw antelope and deer on the drive in and several moose, elk and a coyote off the highway heading to RMNP. 

  There are two trailheads in the campground, lots of areas to fish, a boat dock and horse corral. 

  This was our very first run at dry camping. We were 10 hours from home with 5 kids! We may be crazy, but lots of memories were made and we are calling this trip a big success! 

  This campground was only $10/night and a true hidden gem in the Rockies. (Those roads though...ugh!)

  Steamboat Springs KOA

  Great for Winter Camping

  Women’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!

  Teton Reservoir Campground - CLOSED

  Serene views of the reservoir and landscape

  There are probably 7 or 8 spots with picnic tables. Most have fire rings and a grill but not all. Bathrooms within walking distance. Dry and bare ground scape so no wood scavenging to be done here. Bring in firewood for sure! Also wouldn’t recommend tent camping as the ground is gravel with lots of rocks of various sizes! Easy road in so could bring a trailer or RV of any size. Pretty views. Only one other group here so quiet and lots of space

  Hinman Park

  A run down and neglected CG

  We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 1 for 2 days in late June. We had dropped our Cherokee just past the start of FR-440 and went to scout the area. I’ll get to the Hinman review in a minute. There is some dispersed camping further down Seedhouse Rd (County-64/FR-400) on FR-4002C that is right on the river, but that spur is extremely rough (large rocks, potholes and ruts), so we elected not to try it in our RV, though we did venture down it a little ways in our Cherokee. There were several tents and one pickup camper down there not very far from the start of the road, but no one past that that we could see. Then we scouted Hinman, which was well less than ideal, but we needed a place to stay. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot nice to say about this CG. We would have stayed longer, but at$10/night, it wasn’t worth it. The picnic tables were in disrepair and most of the sites were extremely short and so sloped as to not be useable by any camper/RV, though a car and a tent might be able to use them, but there weren’t really many places to pitch a tent either. There were only 3 of 13 sites that would accommodate us, two pull-throughs and one back-in(site 13) and only the latter was mostly level. We did manage to get mostly level in site 1, which was quite large, but the front wheels were off of the ground a fair bit. This is a tiny CG(the loop is about 1/4 mile), which would be ok, but it is completely surrounded by private land, so you can’t even get down to the Middle Fork Elk River here, which is what we were hoping to be able to do, and there are signs indicating river access is private and permission is needed. Also, the hand water pump handle had been removed and so is out of service. There were quite a few dear in the CG and an elk or two as well, which was nice. There is no AT&T nor T-Mobile signal this far up Seedhouse at all, even with our weboost. There are only a few tall trees at any of the sites, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.
