What Guests Are Saying

Dumont Campground is praised for its stunning scenery, excellent hiking, and proximity to Dumont Lake, making it ideal for outdoor activities like paddleboarding and biking. The campground is clean, well-maintained, and offers large, private sites, although some are not level and may require leveling blocks. While there are challenges such as a lack of drinking water and significant mosquito presence, the overall atmosphere and beautiful wildflowers contribute to a positive camping experience.

I love Dumont Campground! Large spaces, very low-key. Great hiking and SUPing/kayak access on the little lake.

This was a close to home camping trip and an awesome way to explore the Continental Divide trail (a trailhead is in the campground) close to Steamboat! Beautiful with both moose and beaver in the lake and deer in the woods and on the trail. I highly recommend this campground.

There was no water and no mention of this on the website or anything. We have no idea how long this will remain in effect, but enjoy camping here frequently. How can we determine if there will be water next time we go?

Great campground! Ample spaces with real privacy, basic but clean bathrooms. Access to trails (CDT) and the little lake easy and convenient! Quiet, despite its proximity to the pass. I'll definitely stay again!

No campground host, so bathrooms were not always stocked with toilet paper. Toilets needed to be cleaned out. The pumps were not available for water. A lot of the sites were not occupied even though they had tags and were not available on-line either.

Spot 13 *should not* be a trailer spot for anything larger than a combined vehicle+trailer length of about 25 ft, regardless of what the reservation system says/allows.

This campground is a wilderness wonderland. Lush with flowers, grass, forestry and views of meadows. Short walk to the
Dumas Lake. Cleans bathrooms, secluded camp spots.
Dirt road could use some maintaining of the deep holes making a very slow drive with an RV.

Will return for a longer stay...high elevation, cool weather was nice too.
