"Camping along Pearl Lake is a dream come true. It's a quiet lake, surrounded by mountains and forest, perfect for paddle boarders."
"Half of the upper loop sites have a lake and mountain view. Plenty space between sites for privacy too. They had twice daily ranger visits and they were very polite."
$24 - $48 / night
"There are tent, cabins and rv sites. For the kids there's a playground and miniature golf. The only negative is there's no grass. It's a big gravel lot. It's right off the highway."
"This is a really big gravel lot with zero shade, zero privacy, and highway noise. Prices vary depending on what kind of site you choose."
"Tent sites, RV sites, tent cabins and full fledged cabins. We had a tent site right on the river. Miniature golf. Various bikes to rent. This was the priciest camp site on our cross country trip."
"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."
"I camped right by, what used to be, Rim Lake. Its all dried up now. The area was very quiet, I was the only one camping there. There were fire pits set up to cook on."
"This is a good place for using an ORV because there are trails up the mountain for them. It's a good place to fish, camp, and hang out. It's bars minimum out here. Nothing special."
"Many options to stay including walk in camping and covered wagon cabins. There is a long steepish trail that leads to many camp sites along the river."
"Super clean, great facilities and friendly staff!"
LegendWe absolutely love staying here! Many options to stay including walk in camping and covered wagon cabins. There is a long steepish trail that leads to many camp sites along the river. You are not allowed to drive to camp, you must walk your gear in. Very shaded and flat areas built for tents in each site, picnic table, gas grill with propane, fire pit, showers and bathrooms are a short distance away. Running water and easy access to the Hot Springs too.
The place is always updating and staying on top of upkeep. It has many pools of various sizes and temperatures. Even river access to cool off when it's not moving too quick.
As you can see on this visit, we were snowed on. As it seems to be a crazy season this spring 2019- be prepared for muddy rough conditions on the road to the Hot Springs entrance. It can require 4x4 and sometimes is not passable. Depending on weather and conditions. See there website and/or call!
GuideThis campground has everything you need and then some. Nice restrooms and showers. There are tent, cabins and rv sites. For the kids there's a playground and miniature golf. The only negative is there's no grass. It's a big gravel lot. It's right off the highway. Great for travelers going through.
GuideA basic family style campground directly on the Yampa River within city limits of Steamboat Springs. Tent sites, RV sites, tent cabins and full fledged cabins. We had a tent site right on the river. Miniature golf. Various bikes to rent. This was the priciest camp site on our cross country trip. But it is located within an upscale ski resort town so probably expected. A little noisy from road traffic.
LegendWe traveled to this park from Jackson WY. The site is about 30 minute drive up a winding road from the main highway 40. It’s a large state park on a local reservoir. Our site had a very nice elevated western view. The sites had ample room and firewood. The mule deer were nightly visitors during our two night stay. The lake below can fill up on weekends and become very busy. It’s a self checkin system and the sites are patrolled by park police. The visitor center and office is on the road leading to the campsite. The staff were very helpful even with large summer crowds. Our loop only had a few guests but others looked fairly full during August stay. This is a nice option is you are traveling from Wyoming to Steamboat Springs.
GuideSteamboat Lake State Campground is a very clean and beautiful site right on the lake. We were in site 166, on the end and overlooking the lake. The area has 2 campground areas once you pass the showers and store.
Watch for the sites that are walk-I’m only where you have to use a cart to haul your stuff. Although they are nice we chose a drive up site.
This campground doesn’t have many trees but still seemed private with cool metal dividing walls that give you shade as well.
Vault toilets only at the campground or you can drive back to the showers area for real facilities, laundry and showers. Water at each loop. Would definitely return.
ScoutThe tent sites are tiny you are packed together with no space, fire pits less than 3 feet from where you are required to set up your tent so expect to get burn holes
GuideI camped right by, what used to be, Rim Lake. Its all dried up now. The area was very quiet, I was the only one camping there. There were fire pits set up to cook on. There was a good amount of wildlife, birds, coyotes, deer. Its nothing special but a perfect place to post up for the night! I'd stop here again.
TravelerAbsolutely loved this campground. We stayed on Bridge Island and there are plenty of sites with good distance between. The day we went a pretty good storm rolled in late afternoon so the shelters at some of the further inland sites came in handy. You really can’t go wrong view-wise at any of the sites. Amenities included showers (paid by quarters and very short), fire pits, wheel barrow for toting supplies from the parking lots to any of the far sites, picnic tables at each site, potable water, and restrooms. Don’t forget you will need to pay the park pass fee on top of the cost of your camping site unless you have a state pass!
RangerWe 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.
