Weather was terrible and the camping spot was very muddy and not level so we did not use it.

Dumont is a lovely location. Scenic, great views. There is the lake and the fish were biting on a bait. Our grandson got to catch some keepers for dinner. There is the Divide Trail. As much hiking, biking, even horse back riding from an appropriate trailhead. No horses in the campground, though. No water available. Some vintage privies and new ones. Some sunny sites, some shady ones.

The campground was clean and the roads were in good condition. The information board was up to date. Our site was clean and the picnic table in good shape. The bathrooms were clean, well maintained and with a generous supply of toilet paper.
While the Rout National Forest was under a stage 1 fire warning the vegetation didn't look dry nor distressed. The lake level was normal. There were three other campers set up while we were there, they were quiet and well behaved. It's a nice campground with close proximity to Steamboat Springs. I would recommend this campground and i will use it again.

Clean restrooms. Incredible scenery. But big caution -- bring your own drinking water - the water system has been broken for several years.

The campground is in a very good location being very near Dumont Lake, but is in dire need of updating as the campsites are primitive with very old picnic tables and fire rings.

Always enjoy the wildflowers and quiet camping. No water available and trash cans were locked. This information would have been helpful with the reservation confirmation.
