Cabins
Looking for a more rustic experience while in Northwest Colorado? Be sure to peruse the cabin options both near town and tucked away up north.

RV CAMPING
If you’re traveling with an RV, the KOA is the only campground located in Steamboat Springs. Outside of town options include Stagecoach State Park and Steamboat Lake State Park. The U.S. Forest Service lands surrounding Steamboat also have established campgrounds with amenities like restrooms and water hookups.
CAR CAMPING
Steamboat Lake and Pearl Lake are state parks that offer convenient car camping, as do campgrounds on Rabbit Ears Pass along U.S. Highway 40 and Seedhouse Road in North Routt County. Buffalo Pass is a popular option for car camping with access to dozens of mountain biking and hiking trails. See below for additional campground options.
Please note: overnight car camping or RV camping within the city limits of Steamboat Springs is prohibited except for the KOA Campground. Always check closures of campgrounds as seasons can vary.
