About Seedhouse Campground

Seedhouse Campground is a gateway to the Mount Zirkel Wilderness along the Elk River with plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, off highway vehicles, hunting, fishing, river rafting and more. At an elevation of 8,000 feet, Seedhouse Campground lies in the mountains of the Park Range near the Middle Fork of the Elk River. The Middle Fork of the Elk River is so close, campground visitors can hear its roar. Campers can access the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail via a connector trail nearby. There are 24 campsites, 15 of which may be reserved. Remaining sites are first-come, first-served. There are two hand pump water systems throughout the campground.

What Guests Are Saying

Seedhouse Campground is praised for its excellent location near backcountry trails, clean facilities, and quiet atmosphere, making it a relaxing spot for campers. While some sites lack shade and there are occasional issues with wildlife, including bear activity and flies, many visitors enjoyed the privacy and space between campsites. The campground offers great access to fishing and hiking, though cell service is unavailable and some areas may be difficult to reach.

Relaxing with plenty of space between campsites. So was individual unless you wanted to socialize. Bathrooms were clean.

Site 24 by the entrance was great and nicely shaded. Pine martens in the area and abundant other wildlife. Excellent and friendly hosts.

Nice, quiet campground. Host was nice and let us know where we could access the river. Saw deer and lots of chipmunks. Clark has a little store which was convenient. Only complaint is there were tons of flies. I've never stayed at a campground and had such a problem with flies, so not sure what that was about. Had nothing to do with food, either. They were there no matter what. It was actually tough to relax because they were so bad.

Well-kept campground with nice sites. The view, communal water pump, fire pits, picnic table at each site, and nearby access to a river (4-min walk) was nice and being out of cell range was even better. You are close enough to neighbors that you can see/hear them if that's your vibe, and a lot of people leave during the day to do activities. We stayed at site 13 where there was very little shade, so ended up hanging a tarp above the picnic table so we weren't exposed all day. Thought there would be immediate water access, but it's down about a 30-foot drop without easy access. Lots of flies.

Love this campground! Small, close to the river and just secluded enough.

Very scenic area and mostly well kept camp sites. The sites felt quite close together and limited privacy. Site 3 was right next to the bathrooms and you could smell them occasionally. There was also a lot of mosquitos making the stay a little unpleasant (I know this is out of their control). Easy access to some beautiful hikes and overall good stay, but would not recommend site 3 or summer camping here.

Site 16 was fantastic. Lots of shade, sound of the creek, away from other sites. Gorgeous views with amazing wildflowers. Took 1 star off because there is no camp host (on site firewood sales). Wood must be purchased at the Clark Store about 30 minutes away. Would have been nice to know before we arrived at our site.

Managers not keeping up with campground needs. Arrived on Friday afternoon, there was less than half a roll of TP in the women's latrine. Fortunately I always pack a roll! By Saturday afternoon the TP was stocked but the latrine was not very clean. It's a shame that all the sites were reserved yet at least half of them were never occupied all weekend. Managers need to follow-through with policy of canceling reservations if people don't show up for it the first night. Many cars were driving through looking for a site. A bunch of sites were unoccupied but marked "reserved."
