One of the prettiest campgrounds we’ve stayed at in Colorado. The spaces are spread out so lots of privacy. There are a lot of things to do at the campground - paddleboarding, biking and hiking. Also, bonus there’s cell service. Only downside was the mosquitos as there’s a lot of standing water in the campground.

I give the site 5 stars because it’s huge (we fit two campers in it), right by a hiking trail, bathrooms, and a short walk to the lake. You feel secluded back in the forest in this site and it’s right by a field of wildflowers with pretty views!

The mosquitoes are TERRIBLE! I’ve never seen anything like it in my life and I used to live in Florida. We’ve been over Labor Day weekend and didn’t have that problem, so I would absolutely not go here in the middle of summer. The relentless swarms of mosquitoes make it miserable! Our family of 4 is covered in mosquito bites.

Love the campground, clean toilets and atmosphere, Spot #19 was not even close to level. Slope was
so steep couldn't level the 26' trailer. Tongue to the ground and still not right...Description should be
available when booking in order to be aware.

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!
