Steamboat Lake State Park offers RV campers full hookup sites with 30/50 amp electrical service at Dutch Hill Campground, located about 30 miles north of Steamboat Springs. The park features big-rig friendly sites with water, sewer, and electrical connections, making it suitable for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. Eagle Soaring RV Park, situated just a few miles from downtown Steamboat Springs, provides level gravel pull-through sites with full hookups. "Sites are gravel for the RV, very level, and very well maintained. All sites are pull through. Hookups are in very good condition," notes one visitor who stayed in a Class C motorhome. Steamboat Springs KOA, located along the Yampa River, offers various RV sites separated by utility needs with each site including picnic tables and fire rings.

Seasonal considerations are important when planning RV camping trips to the Steamboat Springs area. Most campgrounds operate from late spring through early fall, with Steamboat Lake State Park's Dutch Hill Campground being one of the few open year-round. Cell service varies significantly between RV parks - Eagle Soaring RV Park offers 2-bar LTE Verizon service with functional hotspot capabilities, while parks in more remote locations may have limited connectivity. The free city bus stops at Steamboat Springs KOA, providing convenient transportation to downtown and the ski resort without moving your RV. Dump stations are available at several locations including Steamboat Lake State Park, though some parks like Sentinel Mountain RV & Quick Stop in Cowdrey (about 45 miles northeast) note that their sewer receptacles are not threaded, requiring campers to secure their sewer hose by other means. Most RV parks in the region are pet-friendly with specific designated areas for dog walking.

    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.

    Bears Ears Campground — Elkhead Reservoir State Park

    Not so hidden gem?

    Great 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.

    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.

    Off Highway 40 Dispersed

    Pull off from highway 40

    We 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.

    North Park Campground — State Forest State Park

    Old KOA turned around!

    This used to be a KOA campground that the state took back over and has refurbished. Brand new full hook up connection, connections, picnic tables, fire rings, gravel area with decomposed granite, shower house is BRAND NEW. So quiet and easy on and off the highway. Some highway noise but no semis and little traffic. Very little cell service- like 1 bar on Verizon. Would definitely come back. Little services so bring what you need. Walden is 20 miles down the road. We had a great pull through site with only one neighbor backing up to forest.

    Elliot Creek Campground

    Beautiful views of the lake and mountains

    We initially planned to stay 5 days, but extended to 10 because we liked the campsite and nearby hiking trails so much. Even though most sites are not very private and there is a lot of activity on the lake, it still felt very peaceful. At 8000 feet, the days were comfortable and the nights cool in late July and early August. You can walk 50 feet to a couple isolated spots on the lake shore and set up chairs to swim, fish, relax. In summer, all sites are usually full for the weekends by Thursday afternoon. Monday through Wednesday only had a couple other sites occupied. Allen the camp host was very helpful and interesting to chat with. Stayed here in a 24' trailer. The most secluded sites are ideal for tents. A few sites will handle larger rigs, with 3 pull throughs. Saw a class A in a site for a couple nights.

    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.

    Dry Lake Campground

    Nicely updated campground

    We’re here starting Thursday before Labor Day 2025. Many of the sites and one bathroom seem to be recently updated. The pull through sites have very long driveways with nice level spots. The tent areas look great. Tables, fire pits, bear lockers all seem new. It’s hard to find information on this campground, but if you see 20’ trailer limit, don’t buy it. The host is in a 36’ trailer. A couple of the turns getting in and out could be challenging with a longer setup. Our setup is about 55’ long (truck and trailer) and it’s not problem. Close to trailheads and Steamboat Springs is about 15-20 minutes down the hill. Finding a site Thursday was simple, but could be due to lack of good information about this campground.
