Riverside campground surrounded by pine forest and mountain views

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Your mountain retreat begins where the trail loosens up

RV and tent camping along the Yampa River — a quiet stretch of pine and riverbank, minutes from downtown Steamboat.

About Us

Camping without the compromise

Dry Lake Campground sits on the edge of Steamboat Springs, where the Yampa River bends and the pines close in. We've built a place that honors the simplicity of outdoor living — a campfire, a tent, or an RV parked under the canopy — while making sure you have everything you need to feel at home.

Whether you're here for a weekend of fishing and hiking or a longer stay to experience the high country at your own pace, Dry Lake gives you the space to breathe and the convenience to explore.
