You won't find steamboats, but you will find natural hot springs in this scenic northwest Colorado mountain community (and in the area). This KOA puts you in the heart of all the natural wonders you can experience here, from fishing or floating the trout-filled Yampa River to tackling the nearby slopes of Mt. Werner at Steamboat Ski Resort. World-class hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the surrounding mountains. Enjoy the heated pool, mini golf and other activities at the campground. Then hop on the free bus or grab a rental bike and cruise along the bike paths to downtown, just 3 miles south. A true Western ranching town, Steamboat Springs charms with unique galleries and shows, dining and even a pioneer museum. Get a taste of local culture at the many festivals, including the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo, Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup and Winter Carnival.

The 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.
It 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.
No problem with Google maps to find it. The lake is pretty high and there are a couple of picnic tables almost in the water. With the water this high the road around the lake is maybe 12” above the water. I stayed near the boat launch. No one else was there.
Glean campground, great communication, hot showers. Relaxing place to spend a night.
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 $40 and endured a grueling 4-hour drive, only to be met with an absolutely unreasonable situation. I’ve been to many hot springs before, never in my life experienced something terrible like this. I urge everyone to learn from my lesson and avoid visiting this place!!
Office people are very friendly. Staff escorted me to the site and was very helpful.
The grounds are pretty and well kept and clean. Showers were spotlessly cleaned.
The river runs right next to the campground.
There is a bus that comes right into the campground and will take you into downtown Steamboat Springs, and it is a free service. It runs until 1130pm.
Site 74 was perfectly flat and needed no leveling. Plenty of room for my 30' trailer.
I will be returning to this place!
I thought this was going to be a real campground with reserved spots as it costs 110$ 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.
Stopped 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.
Women’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!
Everything is clean, friendly and helpful staff. It is my go to for trips east from SLC.
This 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
Clean 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.
Park is large and flat with plenty of space to maneuver large rigs.
It’s truly a bargain for what you get. You pull up and the place looks clean. Nice check in.
Lake is full even in early September. Amazing and refreshing
Beautiful tent sites by the lake. 186-188 are quiet and beautiful. Especially during the week! Highly recommend!
This 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.
This 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.
It’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.
No frills shared the area with a few antelope. Agree with previous reviews use Google Map. Did have ATT cell coverage
We stayed at the Steamboat KOA for 2-1/2 weeks on a business trip and greatly appreciated the solid Wi-Fi. The setting is idyllic with mature trees and the beautiful Yampa River running through it. The first half of our stay we were in the original Campground with a center, gravel, pull thru, #71. Then, moved to #31 a back-in site against the fence and away from the road. Although it was smaller, we personally liked #31 better. It had more privacy then the larger open center one. The park opened a new section for Memorial Weekend doubling the size. The new area added 27 paved RV lots as well as 10 deluxe cabins and 14 improved tent sites. They had a large friendly staff, working nonstop who took care of everything!! Every arrival received a person golf cart escort to their site. The general store is well stocked, there’s movie nights and a playground for the kiddos. All the facilities were clean and well maintained. By the end of our stay we felt like family thanks to Lance, Ruth and Beth.
We had reservations for site 184 in the Dutch Hill Campground for Memorial Day Weekend and we didn't let the forecast of snow and below freezing temperatures keep us away. It scared every other tent camper off and we had the walk-in loop to ourselves. The camp host called us his heroes for camping in that weather. Our site was fairly close to the parking lot and we don't pack light so we made a few trips with the provided wheelbarrow. The site had great views of the lake and a shelter that was necessary given the rain and snow. Note-not all sites had shelters. The vault toilet at the top of the loop was clean. Dumpsters were in a few places but not bear proof at all. Firewood was 9$ per bundle at the marina. Shower house was open and operational but we didn't pack for a shower so didn't use it. Overall, a great campsite-but not sure how it would've been if the weather hadn't kept the crowds away.
The campsite was easy to find, there were 3 people there but the parking was good enough I never interacted. Gorgeous views for a quick overnight spot.
Quite a large park with 90 sites. No shade, open sandy lots. Poor drainage after some light rain made it muddy. Ok for one night. I imagine it will be very hot in the summer
Went to go’s coordinates given and they are incorrect. Google rim lake recreation site and you will get better directions. Lake is pretty dry but it is nice and secluded. Have the space to myself.
I mistakenly marked this as closed but it is OPEN and looks lovely. Did not stay here overnight but laid eyes on it and verified even though it is for sale it is OPEN and operating.
