Stopped for the night on my way to South Dakota. The park is just spots and gravel (nothing great - reason for 4 stars), but the bathrooms, showers, and laundry room are great! Very clean. Free WiFi.
ScoutThe campground itself was fine for an overnight stay. Trailers not as close together as some right-off-the-highway campgrounds. But they refused to honor my discount program that was advertised as accepted. The woman at the desk said she couldn’t apply the discount because I didn’t”use” it when I booked online. Most campgrounds adjust fees when you arrive & show proof . Very disappointing. Watch out when you book.
TravelerIt was a nice park. But it got so windy it scared me a little bit. I did not unhitch or use the facilities at all. But it was easy to pull in and out. The office was nice and the employee professional.

The Dutch Hill Campground is north of the State Park Visitors Center on highway 62 in case you get there after hours as we did. We stayed at site 140 in the Wheeler loop. It was level and quiet with a tent pad a short distance away and a separate pad with a fire ring and picnic table. Bring a change of clothes as the mornings and evenings are chilly in June with warm short pant days. We had thunderstorms blow through most every day with 30+ mph winds possible. There is a store at the lake with basic provisions and there are restaurants and food stores down the road from the lake.
TravelerGlean campground, great communication, hot showers. Relaxing place to spend a night.
Ranger
Nicely separated sites. Superb view of Hawn’s peak. Depending upon chosen site, good views of lake or Hawn’s park. Site 42 just glimpses of lake. Campground was nearly empty mid week late September. Nice. Quiet. Level spots large tent pads. Heated flush restrooms and showers. Very limited T-Mobile. Very good star watching.

Never experienced such unreasonable treatment and Lack of Accountability in a business like this. We drove for 4 hours to reach this place and arrived feeling very hungry, we informed the staff that we wanted to grab something to eat and before starting the hot spring. The staff first said that we could pay upon our return. Then, I asked to use the bathroom, but was informed that there was a fee to enter. So I paid $40 in cash for two people, but no receipt was provided. The staff assured us that they would remember us and let us in when we returned.
However, upon our return, we encountered a different staff member, and had to explained the situation to them. Unfortunately, this individual did not believe our story and refused to let us enter. I suggested that they contact the previous staff member for verification, but the staff member in glasses either declined or claimed to have left their phone behind. Suddenly, in an extremely rude manner, he stood up, leaned out the window, and yelled at me, saying,"Don't tell me what to do!!!!This is private property, and you need to leave!!!!!"
This treatment made it seem as if we were attempting to sneak into the premises. At this point, I no longer wanted to proceed with the hot spring experience. I agreed to leave, but requested a refund for the$40 I had paid. However, this staff member adamantly refused to reimburse me and continued to yell at us, insisting that we leave.
It is incredibly frustrating that they couldn’t even find my payment record because everything was by cash and I never received a receipt. I wasted $40 and endured a grueling 4-hour drive, only to be met with an absolutely unreasonable situation. I’ve been to many hot springs before, never in my life experienced something terrible like this. I urge everyone to learn from my lesson and avoid visiting this place!!

This place is an overnight rest stop at best, and worse. The staff is nice and accommodating. There isn’t much to accommodate. It is located in a sketchy little town that has its best days a while back.
Traveler
The campground is a gem! The people are great, and the facilities are very well maintained. The river is beautiful. I'd stay there again any chance I get.
RangerNice for an over night. Sites are too close and tight. Kids running around screaming. We walked out our door in the morning and an irresponsible dog owner left their dogs poop 5 ft from our steps.
ScoutHiking, kayaking, wildlife viewing, fishing
Guide
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!
TravelerI thought this was going to be a real campground with reserved spots as it costs 110$ per night and they say reservations are necessary. However they offered me car park and a spot by the river where I could walk down and cook. There are bathrooms on site too. I decided it wasn’t worth it as I was planning on spending most of the evening at hot springs anyway - did that ($20) and then found a spot elsewhere to park for the night.
TravelerStopped for the night , the campgrounds were very muddy from a rain storm so be prepared to take your shoes off b4 entering your r v if you go during the rainy season. There was no internet,so trying to schedule my next stop did not go well.oh they did say there was internet,very scetchy. The staff was very nice.
ScoutWomen’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!
ScoutEverything is clean, friendly and helpful staff. It is my go to for trips east from SLC.
GuideThis park has an old and new section. Right on the river. The older (cheaper) section was ok, but muddy and tight for big rigs. Newer section compares to premium resorts
GuideClean restrooms, showers were really nice so was the laundry. We got there after a lot of rain and things were flooded and muddy. Hook ups are right next to your neighbors picnic table? No real place to walk your dog. Staff was very nice and friendly. Overall a good one night stop.
TravelerPark is large and flat with plenty of space to maneuver large rigs.
TravelerIt’s truly a bargain for what you get. You pull up and the place looks clean. Nice check in.
GuideLake is full even in early September. Amazing and refreshing
ScoutBeautiful tent sites by the lake. 186-188 are quiet and beautiful. Especially during the week! Highly recommend!
GuideThis place was just what we needed. Bathhouse was spotless. Lots of hot water. The spots were nicely spaced. Not crowded at all. It's all gravel but hey, it's in the high Wyoming desert! $40 but got the Good Sam discount and that helped.
TravelerNothing crazy special about this place but it’s clean and right off the highway. The tent sites are a good size and the available was great. All in all I’d stop here for the night, no problem.
ScoutThis site has some great amenities and the location is not too far from town. The facilities were clean, and the site is well maintained. But, the only showers are in the bath room by the front desk, it is a trek. There is no shade on the far side of camp, but the sites by the entrance have tons of trees! The river is nice, but there aren’t a whole lot of access points.
GuideIt’s a large park convenient to steamboat springs. WiFi is good restrooms are clean. Sites in the new section are paved and level. There are only bathrooms in the new section, no showers, so there is a significant walk to get a shower.
ScoutRV dump was closed,😭🤓
