If you go to steamboat you need to also go to the strawberry park hot springs. Like most hot springs there is nude bathing after dark. Strawberry park is very very pretty. This area has an incredible amount of aspen trees.

for camping though while heading to strawberry park hotsprings from the middle school there is buffalo mountain on your right. You can go all the way to the top if there is not snow and when there isnt this is always an unforgettable trip. So once you pass the horse farm on the left you will take your next right. it is a residential road for a while then there are no houses and it is a pretty good drive up the mountain, there is traditional and non traditional camping here and a lot of space. I think that there are 3 or 4 if not more lakes. Decent fishing but beautiful lake settings. I think that you can actually go over the top of the mountain and to the other side. I have had some of the best times in my life here. This is a buge area. There is a sheep hearder that lives in the hills and he has a little wooden wagon that he lives in at least there was. This road is RV accessible unfortunately.

Steamboat is awsome. If you havent been there go there. They have a huge hot air balloning festival. Also a comercialized hot springs that is great for kids. Best poweder I think in the world for skiing and great trees. There is great camping all around steamboat just dont go to a KOA dont do it.
