One of my favorite campgrounds. Wildflowers were spectacular and just nice views. Fishing was good before the wind came. One of the two water pumps was broken so it made getting water a hassle is you’re camped toward the lake.

Reservation system is poor. We waited many weeks for the campground to open and checked daily. By the time it opened, most of the dates were full. Everything in the Rockies seems to be booked but we found many open unfilled sites at many campgrounds when we managed to get in. Don't know the answer - it was just difficult to make things work this summer.

Meadows of wildflowers still in bloom in late August
Steamboat Springs, state parks nearby

I went for the first time with two others. There was plenty of room, easy access to trails, the bathroom was clean, and the water pump functional. I will stay there again.

A beautiful setting. Quite picturesque. Quiet, with no generators running at all! We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic little campground! Most of the sites are spaced pretty far apart, and the wildflowers are spectacular. The water pump near my site wasn't working, and it was a long walk carrying water buckets. Some sites are in need of leveling. These were minor issues, though. Deer visited several times during my stay, and I watched the osprey hunt in the lake. Dumont is a fabulous little campground!
