Camper reviews for Steamboat Lake State Park
If only all campgrounds could be like this!
This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have been to in CO. Several different campgrounds surround the beautiful Steamboat Lake. Our fave is Wheeler as it seems closest to the water. The other campgrounds have really nice views, but its a climb down a pretty good hill to and from the lake. Some sites are basic in the park, but Wheeler all have electric which we prefer. 30,50 AMP. Convenient and clean water and dump stations, also free. Fairly level sites, picnic tables at all and fire rings, easy to navigate with a little extra room for a tent if you want. Road to and all around the grounds are good. There are FREE showers and restrooms, really clean and convenient. The camp host in 2022 was so nice and so helpful. There is potable water for share use close to all sites. The lake itself is amazing - clean, clear and so much room! Nice swim beach area, yes, it get crowded but if you kayak or SUP you can easily get away from the crowds. There are motor boats allowed but the lake is big so you can also enjoy peace and quiet with lots of birds and beautiful views.There is a small camp store with firewood and necessities, like ice cream! Also boat rentals, SUP and kayak rentals are available. A wonderful place to enjoy swimmable water and gorgeous night skies in CO!
