About

Is an awesome camping trip on your calendar this year? Our summer calendar is filling up fast! Now's the time to make your reservations for the 2017 camping season. Don't miss out..call & make your reservations today.

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.

Spacious, Clean, Pretty

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!

Great for Winter Camping

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!

Nice folks, cramped sites

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

Great Camp site

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.

Big Park, close to Steamboat Springs

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.

Friendliest and hard working staff

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.

Basic Campground

A 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.

Fun for the kids, friendly staff

From the moment we came the staff were very friendly. The kids enjoyed the playground and I enjoyed the mini golf. Water and power worked well, cable tv seemed to have issues but I may have had a bad cable. There's enough room between sites on the river side.

Rudest management and worst customer service I've ever experienced

Rudest management and worst customer service I've ever experienced. Would give 0 stars but that's not an option. In January we booked a cabin for our family for 5 nights at the end of July. We were then contacted this week(2 months later) saying they've decided to do a construction project and can no longer offer the cabin we booked. They asked if they could move me to a tent site since they had no other cabins available. I advised we don't have a tent, that's why we booked a cabin. They then told me that they had a cabin but it was only available for 2 of the 5 nights we had booked and asked if I wanted that. The other"great" option was they could just cancel all together(with full refund, as if that was them doing me a favor) and we could find somewhere else. Well, at this point I've lost 2 months and the majority of places are fully booked due to a large baseball tournament happening this same week. So, I agreed to take the 2 night so that I could at least have something while I looked for another place. I was then informed that the cabin they were moving us to was$100 more per night and they could not adjust the price(even though this was completely their doing). When I asked to speak with a manager I then had the great pleasure of speaking with General Manager Bob Junker. Bob began to get very rude when I asked if there was anything they could do due to the incredible inconvenience they caused us. He acted as if this was a bigger inconvenience to him than us and initially threatened to cancel even the 2 nights in the more expensive cabin they moved us to. He proceeded to tell me that they can get full price for the"premium cabin" they were moving me to and had no reason to give it to me for our original cabin's price. At this point in the conversation I asked to speak with his boss to which he said"No" and stated he can make whatever decisions he wants and ended the conversation. You'd think that would be the end but the story gets better! After attempting to contact the owners of the campground to lodge a complaint I received a call the next day from good ole Bob saying they were just going to cancel my reservation all together and hung up. I guess my call to the owning companies office made its way back to him‍ Thanks Bob for the incredibly horrendous customer service! Really well done! I hope you're proud of yourself for ruining our trip and making that extra couple hundred bucks! Here's to hoping you're not actually the owner and they eventually decide to get rid of you for causing their sales to decline by losing customers.

Words can't describe.

Wasn't exactly the best I've ever been to but it's definitely far from the worst. Very little shade anywhere. Not much for fresh water supply unless you drink river water.

Good location

We stayed here in site # 13 we booked late & there were only a few spots left. The river running through the campground was so refreshing after a day at the Balloon Rodeo & a stop at the art in the park event, once we got back to the KOA we were so hot we took our chairs & sat them in the middle of the river & chilled. What a nice way to relax. The pool was busy & the river was empty.

Our site had electric and water I believe, and a view of this little pond. They have a bus that is free that will drop you in town. When we went to the Balloon Rodeo they didn't run early enough so we drove to a big parking lot & took a bus from there to Eagle Lake. It was hot once the sun came up but well worth. it. The balloons all go up & then they come down & dip their buckets in the lake & land around the lake.

The river runs through town so you can watch people tube by. We ate at Taco Cabo, great food.

Just a minute outside of Steamboat

Right outside of Steamboat Springs is Steamboat KOA. This campground has so many perks. Not only is there a beautiful Mountain View but it also has the Yampa river running through it. It has Rv sites, cute cabins, and tent sites. The Rv sites are separated in areas by what you need(electric, water, sewage). The RV sites each have picnic tables and a fire ring. There are regular cabins and deluxe ones which both include tables and fire rings. The tent area is located across the river and is so peaceful. There is a general store, putt putt, propane fill, a small dog run, bikes for rent, swimming in season and the city bus comes to take you to town for free. Although it is located right off the road, it was still peaceful and I felt safe. My favorite part about this campground is the fact you can stand on the bridge or sit by the Yampa River and enjoy the beauty and sounds, and watching people fly fish.

Can’t recommend for tenting

Leaving a review at 4 stars to keep the average.

We stopped in late looking for a tent spot. The only tent sites this location provides for late check in are their luxury riverside tent sites, despite their being a huge open loop of others(that other tenters had booked earlier in the day). I’m not going to get started on how horribly placed and awkward these late spots are. But I will say you’ll get charged $50/night for them.

We just booked a hotel instead.

On the Yampa and close to the 'Boat

We've stayed at the Steamboat Springs KOA multiple times over the past couple years for many reasons. It's close enough to downtown Steamboat, right on the Yampa, and has plenty of things to do for the whole family. There is a small pool, updated miniature golf course, trike rentals and the Yampa running through the campground.

I love the ability to ride into town to the mountain bike trails on Emerald Mountain. On your way back from the amazing singletrack, be sure to stop at Taco Cabo to grab to-go grub and head down the road to Storm Peak Brewing for a cold barley pop with your amazing takeout.

Some of the RV spots are close to each other, but the park is quiet overall. Across the bridge over the Yampa River, there are plenty of tent spots. The facilities are clean and there are plenty of showers to keep all campers clean.
