This land has been my family's ranch since the early 70's. We love it here and are happy to share it with campers that wish to enjoy the valley and respect the land.
More about this campsite:
The site is in a small ranch pasture along the Bear River near willow, birch, and large cottonwood trees. From the campsite there are views of the Flat Top mountains and ancient volcanic necks. Very quiet except for ranch activity and the friendly livestock guardian dogs (who will visit, and they bark to protect the sheep and goats at night) - it's a working ranch and you may have to contend with talkative sheep or dodge the occasional cow pie!

The host was very friendly and accommodating! The bathroom are extremely clean and they even had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers which is above approach! Additionally, you are at the top of a mountain and have incredible views at this campground. I would definitely recommend this campground!

This spot was perfect for our Wyoming adventure. It’s extremely well kept and clean. We forgot our adapter and they were very quick to respond. All communications were easy and clear. You can walk to the Little Snake Museum from there which is an absolute must.

Yes! If you are looking for quiet, clean camping with a beautiful lake, trails and plenty of room to fish, I would highly recommend Big Creek Lakes Campground!

We camped at Big Creek Lakes in mid-September of 2019 and 2020. My husband was busy bow hunting elk in the Routtt NF and I was enjoying the beautiful trails on horseback. The lakes are pristine and the campground was fairly empty with maybe 1/3 of the sites in use. Here were a few fishermeni n and out. The sites have some shade and are level. Our trailer was a tight fit (35'). It tended to be windy so no fire but there are rings and tables at each site. We definitely plan to return in 2021! Only negative - the water was turned off so we had to haul lake water by the bucket to our horses in the corrals.

We pulled in late at night so we didn't have a great view of what was around until the morning, and im glad for that because it was breath taking! Surrounding our tent was fields full of brightly colored wildflowers, There was a small patch of fog from the rain that happen right after we had set up our tent but it made the view in the morning that much more spectacular. The campground its self was fairly quite its has restrooms on site (no running water) and you could hear a very minimum amount of noise from the road but only if your listening for it. I highly recommend this campground if your looking to spend a few days in steamboat or even if you just want to wake up somewhere beautiful!

Beautiful campground with wild flower filled meadows. Some sites have trees, others are quite plain. Numerous trails leave the campground with one moderate hike going to the top of Rabbit Ears peak. Overall, an enjoyable campground offering well spaced sites.

Seedhouse has a great location!The campground is located just outside Mt. Zirkel Wildnerness area, and only miles away from Hahn's peak! Unfortunately, due to the beetle infestation and storm, much of the landscape was effected. The campsites do not offer much privacy because of the lack of trees. The area is currently being restored. Site #'s 4, 21-24 offer the most tree coverage. We enjoyed our weekend!
