Located half an hour south of Steamboat Springs in Routt National Forest, Trout Creek Recreation Area is a secluded forest campground ideal for boondocking with a single vault toilet as its only amenity.
The area offers excellent fishing opportunities on Trout Creek and access to numerous hiking trails throughout the surrounding national forest.
Note that the recreation area is only open during summer months due to its remote high-elevation location in the Colorado Rockies; supplies and gas are available in nearby Yampa or Oak Creek.
