ScoutWe were hoping to stop at the loop just beofre this spot coming from Steamboat Springs butt here we're three other vehicles there. This stretch of road has a number of pulloffs but beware they are not flat. I was able to.level our travel trailer but only after busting a jack.
TravelerBeautiful quiet campground but a little hard to get to. Road from the east is much better than from Steamboat Springs. Quiet , well maintained, more suited to car/tent camping. Great views of lake from many sites. Grills, tables, trash and toilets, No water. Went on weeknight in July and it was about 3/4 full
GuideGreat little campground with picnic tables, fire pits, clean vault toilets & dumpsters. Pretty quite location, you can hear the water here & there which was nice & an occasional airplane would fly by. Campground was very clean, well maintained. Great location! 20 mins from the town of Craig (Walmart, gas stations, restaurants) & about an hour from steamboat springs. The only thing we were kind of missing were some trees.

TravelerGreat spot for car camping in Colorado except its distance from Denver. It’s a trek! Takes at least 4 hours (that’s if you’re lucky). Lots to do. Great fishing, beautiful hiking trails to a water fall, and trails for the RZR near by.
GuideWe did a Colorado road trip in late July, 2018 - we knew we were going to camp around Steamboat Springs in the middle of the week, but didn't have a plan so we just drove along US40 and stopped along a few campgrounds to see how they were. Dumont was the best - with a lake, close hiking paths, and a beautiful meadow with lots of wildflowers. The dumpster was locked so no need to worry about wild animals, the vault toilets were the cleanest I've ever used, and it was just an amazing time. The campgrounds host had a couple hummingbird feeders and we saw a ton of hummingbirds around! If i'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stay here!
GuideStayed here for two nights. Beautiful views all around, plenty of space between campsites ans a creek nearby. Great hikes just a short drive away and Steamboat Springs is easy to drive to for meals or supplies (~40 min drive) Cheap, convenient, and great for groups ($5/night with interagency pass). Big love
