    North Park Campground

    Not well kept, but has potential

    Was an old KOA. In fact, there are two typical KOA A frame buildings that need to be torn down due to their lack of upkeep. The grounds were overgrown with weeds knee high.

    Steamboat Springs KOA

    Basic Campground

    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.

    Strawberry Park Hot Springs

    2nd Best in the State!

    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!

    Dutch Hill Campground — Steamboat Lake State Park

    Great State Park

    We traveled to this park from Jackson WY. The site is about 30 minute drive up a winding road from the main highway 40. It’s a large state park on a local reservoir. Our site had a very nice elevated western view. The sites had ample room and firewood. The mule deer were nightly visitors during our two night stay. The lake below can fill up on weekends and become very busy. It’s a self checkin system and the sites are patrolled by park police. The visitor center and office is on the road leading to the campsite. The staff were very helpful even with large summer crowds. Our loop only had a few guests but others looked fairly full during August stay. This is a nice option is you are traveling from Wyoming to Steamboat Springs.

    Steamboat Springs KOA

    Spacious, Clean, Pretty

    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!

    Dutch Hill Campground — Steamboat Lake State Park

    Something for everyone!

    Steamboat 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.

    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    Nice, clean campground

    We spent July 4th holiday at this campground. The site had lots of green grass and some trees. We were close to the boat ramp so it was an easy walk down to the river. We drove out to Steamboat Springs one of the days and had a lot of fun on the river trail. Hayden has minimal services so stop in Craig or Steamboat if you need supplies. Decent cell and 4g reception.
