Seedhouse Campground

Area Status: Closed

Seedhouse Campground is located 25 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and is the gateway to the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness along the Elk River Corridor. Vault toilets, trash services and potable water are available at the campground.

There are 24 campsites, 15 of which may be reserved. Remaining sites are first-come, first-served. Each site is spacious and equipped with a campfire ring and picnic table. There are two hand pump water systems throughout the campground.

Seedhouse Campground has plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, fishing, river rafting and more. There is a good combination of pull-through, and back-in sites. Trout fishing is accessible on the river as well as several mountain streams. Camping limit is 14 days.

Campers can access the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail via a connector trail nearby.

This campground recently underwent a timber sale to remove hazard trees due to the mountain pine beetle outbreak, but still is surrounded by large spruce, fir and upcoming pine trees. Trout fishing is accessible on the river as well as several mountain streams.

At an elevation of 8,000 feet, Seedhouse lies in the Rocky Mountains in the heart of the Routt National Forest near the Middle Fork of the Elk River, which visitors can hear from the campground.

Black bear, bobcat, coyote, elk, mule deer and moose are just some of the many animals that inhabit these rich and diverse lands.
