We stayed here one night in August in site #25 close to the Yampa River. You cannot see the river from the campground but it is only a short walk away. It looks as if you could fish and kayak on the Yampa River. The campground has very small trees so there is no shade but some of the campsites (but not all) have shelters over the picnic tables. The grounds are well-maintained and the picnic area and river trail are beautiful, located in tall Cottonwood trees. There is a big shower house. The park is dog-friendly. There is a well-equipped kid's play area. The tent sites seemed to be shaded and well-used. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If there had been water and sewer hookups, I would rate this CG a 10. Great reception in office. Back-ins and large pull-throughs to choose from and all very level gravel. Lots of space between sites. Great hiking trails along the Yampa River. Clean laundry and restrooms. Showers cost a quarter but worth it. Trees are not large enough to make great shade yet, but will be wonderful someday. We stayed here to tour Steamboat Springs area and did not mind the 25 mile drive as some people would. Conveniently located right on US 40 but the noise was not bothersome at all. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In general, a fine park for an overnight stay although a bit high for what you get ($20 for site, $7 for daily park fee). Electric is the only utility available at the site. There is a dump site and water available. No Wi-Fi but our Verizon signal was very good. No cable TV but our satellite signal was strong. The sites are long, wide and level (gravel). The park was pretty empty so we picked our own spot. There are pull-through and back-in sites. Some road noise from highway 40. No need to fear for safety, the park rangers seem to make their rounds every half hour. Appears to be a well-used park by locals for weekend outings. We would stay here again if passing through. Compared to the prices of the RV parks in Steamboat Springs, this is a steal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice state park! There was a friendly welcome at check in. There are long, level, gravel, pull-throughs with electric. A nice metal table shaded by a cabana type shelter is provided. Trees were scattered at each site, about 15-20 ft. tall. It was at least 100 ft. to nearest sites. Dept. of Wildlife manager put on a good 1 hour talk about bears and did a good job of it. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very clean park with level sites. They have a dump station right there on the property. Nice trail around the grounds for exploring and the river is right there for fishing or tubing. Sites have fire rings and some have shaded picnic tables. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great state park. Rate reflects Aspen Leaf Pass rate for Colorado seniors over 65. Nice gravel sites that are level and clean. Water and sewer available at the dump station. 50 amp to 20 amp electric on site. Close to Steamboat Springs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were disappointed with the Yampa River State Park campground near Steamboat Springs, CO. The reason was because on the Yampa River State Park's (SP's) website. They showed photos that had campsites along the river in a heavily wooded area. The SP's website photos were VERY deceiving to say the very least. The photos from the SP's website showed the campground as being very wooded with TALL TREES at the campsites. As we walked around the campground we noticed there was only 1 campsite for 2 tents, walk-in campsite along the river in a partly wooded area. All other campsites were in a field type area with small, newly planted trees. We are so used to campsites in SPs having so many TALL trees/thick wooded areas. This campground was such a disappointment to us in that respect. We made friends with a couple of women camping with their 2 daughters who were our 'camping neighbors.' They felt the same way since they also researched the campground and also viewed the photos on the SP's webpage. They could not believe, when they drove into the SP, how it looked after viewing the SP's website photos. DH and I also bumped into the camp-hosts, who were very nice people. During our talk, we asked if other folks had ever expressed their disappointment in how the CG looked to them. They said it happens all the time and wished there was some way for them to post more accurate photos of the CG on the SP's website. They told us that some folks get really mad at them and felt deceived that they (camp host) had posted those photos. This is terrible IMHO, since the camp host at these SP are usually only doing the job during the summer taking care of the facility only and have nothing to do with the website. I do want to add that the campsites were very, large and widely spaced but the trees were so small and no shade whatsoever! The bath-house was very clean with coin-operated showers. Also a laundry room is in the same building, which is well maintained by the camp host. Electric hook-ups only; the water spickets are located throughout the CG. Vaulted toilets-houses are located near campsites. Flush toilets are inside bath-house, which is near CG's entrance. There is a playground area for children near the bath-house. Yampa River SP Campground is about 30 minutes outside of Steamboat Springs, CO. No campsites are along the river except for one walk-in campsite for 2 tents. Next time we will stay at another SP campground instead. I just wanted to do a review of Yampa River SP Campground, so other's will be forewarned about the lack of trees/shade. If that is what you are used to, and having been to the SP's website and viewed their photos. I wish there was some way I could post our photos over on the SP's website: REAL photos showing how it really looks. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The fee included a $6. park entrance fee for the State Parks of Colorado. The campground was well kept, as were the bathrooms and laundry. The sites were very large, affording a quietness between neighbors. Parking pad was level and constructed of pea stone. There is a walking path around the perimeter of the park and was a good way to exercise our dog. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This campground is fairly isolated, but it's right off the primary two-lane highway in the area. It's a twenty minute drive to the nearest anything so be sure to stop in Craig (if you're heading east) or Hayden (if you're heading west) if you need any supplies before arriving at this campground. The Headquarters campground is extremely clean with very nice showers, restrooms, laundry and visitor center. The sites are very level, well spaced and primarily for RV's and trailers. We would camp here again in a minute. Craig, about twenty minutes west of the park, has a really cool city park with a pool and a whole grove of carved tree trunks. Well worth the drive to check them out. Park pros: clean, spread-out and well maintained sites. Has beautiful river access. Park cons: has little or no shade, and is not convenient for quick runs to the store (which could be a 'pro' depending on your situation). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice park with large sites spaced well apart. Each site has a picnic table (covered at most sites) and a fire ring. Our site was a 40' gravel pull through that was level. Although only electric is provided at each site, water spigots are located within the park and there is a dump station with water at the park entrance/exit. The restroom/showers are clean (the showers are coin operated - 25 cents for 4 minutes). The park is pet friendly with large grass areas and a very nice shaded trail along the Yampa River for walking (bring bug repellent). There is a play area for children with swings and other play equipment. Park staff patrolled the park on a regular basis and were helpful and friendly. The only negative to the park is the lack of shade trees. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground if you don't need water and sewer hookup. The dump station is at the entrance of the park, and you can also fill up your tank at the same place. We saw a couple of deer while we were there. The river is about 150 yards from our site, and the kids actually went in to catch some crawfish. I imagine if you go in late summer, you will probably need some mosquito repellent. It wasn't that bad in April. It would have been ok if the rate is just $18 but you have to add the reservation fee and also the vehicle fee it all adds up to $32. The site is pretty level with all the regular amenities such as picnic table, shade shelter and fire ring for each camp site. The toilet/shower house is very clean. As a matter of fact, it was super clean. I have never seen a state park shower house this clean. We will come back again in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I wish there was a higher option for the question about the bathrooms being clean. This park had a restroom/bath house that was so clean, you could eat off of the floor! The sites were gravel, but were very close to being level. There were a couple of pull through sites, but I selected a back in site and still had plenty of room for my 40 ft 5th wheel. The sites each had a fire ring, a high quality (commercial type) picnic table, and some had a cover/wind block for the picnic table. The sites are very well spaced. No two sites are on top of each other. There is a dump station available, however no sewer hookup at the site. There also is no water hookups at the sites. The showers were clean, but are coin operated, however it was worth the quarters to shower in such a clean bath house. The cute young lady who runs the office/park info center was very friendly and courteous when I went in to pay for the second night. (It was after hours when I arrived the first night.) The bath house building also has a laundry facility, Coke and Pepsi machine, change machine, puzzle table, and a magazine rack with a selection of magazines and pamphlets. Do be forewarned that there is a train track across 40 that has a train that runs between 6 and 8 am. It did wake us up, but it was gone quick enough to allow us to fall back asleep. There is a camp host on site. I really can not say enough good things about this state park. I am very happy I found this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
