Great views, rough terrain

Place has very good views from the mountain, however, the terrain isn't level. I found it difficult to get a good spot for my camper to be leveled.

Steamboat - Beautiful view looking west.

Summer is over, Labor Day evening, nobody except me here. 5-6 potential spots all in a row, lined up on dirt road that parallels 40 and far enough away to be quiet. Convenient to Steamboat 15 min.

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS

Unfortunately, we were able to stay here as there were no open sites but the view itself is breathe taking. As it says in the name is RIGHT off the highway so be ready for lots of car noise and close quarters with other campers.
