Hahns Peak Lake Campground

Hahns Peak Lake Campground is located on the shore of a small, scenic lake just 30 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and consists of 23 single unit campsites and 3 double sites for the larger groups. Each site offers a fire grate and a picnic table and the campground offers a vault toilet.

Hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicles can be enjoyed on most of the area trails, including a popular biking loop on the Prospector Trail. The West Side Lake Trail winds for nearly a mile along the lake shore. Families and outdoor enthusiasts love the abundant hiking, mountain biking and fishing opportunities.

With an elevation of 8,500 feet, the campground offers spectacular views of the forested lakeshore, picturesque mountain lake and the 10,774-foot Hahns Peak. The campground is situated in a spruce, pine and fir forest along the shore of the 160-acre Hahns Peak Lake in the Routt National Forest of north central Colorado. Lupine and other colorful wildflowers appear throughout the campground in warmer months. Black bear, bobcat, coyote, elk, mule deer and moose are just some of the many animals that inhabit these rich and diverse lands.

The lake provides trout fishing and boating for non-motorized or electric motorboats only. Hiking, mountain biking and ATV use permitted on most of the area trails. The Prospector/Nipple Peak Loop is located near the campground and is an especially popular mountain bike trail.
