Sunrise Vista Campground sits within Steamboat Lake State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It is a state park campground, and the closest town is Steamboat Springs, about 23 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Steamboat Springs weather station show July highs around 83°F with lows near 46°F, and June and August run close behind. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. A fee is charged. The Willow Creek Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Tombstone Nature Trail is 0.6 miles off. Dutch Hill Campground is 0.5 miles away, and Hahns Peak Lake Campground on the Medicine-Bow Routt NF is about 2.4 miles away.
