Our location was absolutely breathtaking! We were encircled by untamed flora, had panoramic vistas of the mountains, an impressive body of water, and a serene camping area. The only downside was the considerable number of trees that had been cleared because of a pine beetle infestation, which generally made other campers visible. However, the remaining scenery was so captivating, it made you overlook that minor detail!

Last minute camping idea. Beautiful area with fall colors. Campsite is clean, access is easy. Nice short hiking from camp spot to the lake. On-site dumping. Online booking only (pain in the &^%$ website)

Great state park, 23 miles outside Steamboat. Super quite, spacious sites, some with views of the lake. It was sooo relaxing! Wind at night time was a pain but we realized it was because our site had no trees for protection but we had a view! Sunrise Vista has bigger sites and more space between sites. Also views!

Directly overlooking a flawless cove, this short chain of smaller drive-throughs with adjoining tent pads and grills are about the nicest campsites you can find. Just a couple trees with tall grasses and wildflowers, but very pretty and quiet. Our raft is beached below and we just floated for a few hours before the cloudless sun finally drove us to shade. Excellent cell service on Verizon with our hotspot (and roof mounted MIMO antennas) producing a reliable 40mbps down and 12mbps up. Even my lake-loving Wisconsin spouse was impressed. Yesterday we drove the Jeep up Hahn's Peak for a great view of the lake. Lots to do and the Green Chili at the Outpost is excellent. We'll be back.

The sites at the top are not as appealing and more typical and somewhat close together with not that much vegetation between them/ Yesterday we drove the Jeep up Hahn's Peak for a great view of the lake. Lots to do and the Green Chili at the Outpost is excellent. Hahn's Peak Cafe was also great with very reasonable prices. We'll be back.
