About Seedhouse 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.

This is a lovely campground with proximity to hikes in Mt. Zirkel Wilderness and the Continental Divide Trail. The sound of the Elk River lulled us to sleep each night. It was not full when we were there mid-week, but I imagine it fills up on weekends. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Seedhouse is a pretty basic, but nice campground. The way I like them! Sites are a bit varied, so check the pictures before booking. Camp hosts very nice and friendly. So well-located near great trailheads...my go-to for Mt. Zirkel Wilderness!

Recreation.gov "double" booked us two camp sites and charged my card "double" for both. Did not realize this until the camp host pointed it out.

Campground is very quite. There is no cell service, no over the air tv, and no FM or AM radio. First time every camping that we could not get even a radio station. Most of the sites are fairly small, there are a couple of large ones that are well shaded. There are 2 water pumps for water that you must pump by hand. There are a few good hiking trails close by.
