Steamboat Falls Campground

All Forest-operated developed recreation sites are no longer accepting cash or check. Scan & Pay will be available at campgrounds, trailheads, showers, RV dump stations, boat ramps, and picnic day use areas across the Forest.  

How will this impact how you recreate in summer 2026?  

With limited or no cell service across the Forest, visitors will need to download the Recreation.gov app and add a valid payment method before heading out on their adventure. After arriving at a recreation site or open campsite, locate the nearest information board and scan the provided QR code with the Recreation.gov app. After paying, visitors should write down and display their confirmation code on their car dashboard or campsite post. At recreation sites with no cell service, the payment will be noted as ‘pending’ with the payment going through once service is restored. 

Be prepared, download the Recreation.gov app today: https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app
