The camp host ran his generator a pretty decent majority of the time. Also they were doing some sort of maybe tree mitigation? So throughout the days we experienced noise from heavy construction equipment followed by the crews picking sites to stay at overnight

This was a great camp site with good proximity to steamboat springs. I made a mistake and assumed there was water access at the site. We had to run into town and buy a couple jugs of water. Other than that, it was a great site and would definitely visit again.

A beautiful wooded campsite that had a moose come thru at 4:45 am that hung out at our picnic table for a while. Unfortunately there was a forest fire about 1.5 miles away and we were in pre-evacuation status. The campground host was very communicative and put us at ease letting us know that he would let us know if we needed to evacuate (which thankfully we did not).
