Rabbit Ears Pass West Dispersed Camping – États-Unis

I had a good stay here. It was quiet and I was able to get level pretty easily in a pull through site. I pulled in a 25 foot trailer. The road is very rutted but you can drive on the high spots. It rained the night before I left and my 4 wheel drive was spinning to get out and the trailer was pulling sideways due to the ruts. If a rough road is ok, it’s a decent spot. Others say they had AT&T 4 g but I had 3g. Full strength 3 g and was able to stream tv although it would drop off periodically

This is a great little free camping area about 15-20 minutes outside of Steamboat Springs. It is right off the highway up on the mountain. We used the GPS coordinates listed on Campendium and found it just fine. When you first pull in, you'll notice that the road is very worn and rutted. There is one spot to the right that is very easy to get into, and you can even avoid the ruts quite a bit to get into it. It is the closest spot to the highway. There is another spot on the left that we stayed in. You will have to navigate the heavily rutted road for about 25 yards, but we made it through in our truck and Airstream. Go slow and you'll be fine. After these first two spots, the road becomes even more rutted. If you have a high enough rig, I'm sure you can keep going into the forest. Overall it is a quiet spot with easy access and close to the town of Steamboat Springs. Plus, you can watch all the Netflix you want. You can see the highway from these first spots so there is some highway noise but it isn't bothersome.

We stayed here for one night when we missed out on a first come, first serve CG in the area (Meadows CG across the street). The entry from US 40 has been improved and is in OK shape -- a little steep but manageable with no real danger. But after about 20 yards the road develops increasing deep ruts (over 2 feet deep) that made us fear we would damage our undercarriage because we don't have a lot of ground clearance. Larger rigs definitely should not go down the hill after the first stretch of road, since the road becomes almost impassable for RVs with limited turnaround options. Sites further along could work for small vehicles like Jeeps and 4WD high clearance vans. Sites are not particularly well defined, but people managed to find somewhat level spots on both sides of the road before heading down the hill, but even the grassy areas are pretty uneven due to rodent holes. All these spots are within sight of the road so there is road noise. This area seems to be used mostly on weekends so visitors have better options if arriving during the week. The good news is that the location seems to be treated well by campers, with no trash littering the area. Cell service was fine on AT&T, and it is a 15 minute drive to Steamboat Springs. We relocated to the Meadows CG across the street after one night and we were much happier -- it was significantly quieter and the road to our campsite was far more enjoyable to drive on a daily basis as we went about doing errands and visiting the local sights.

We enjoyed a week here in the second site, about 100 yards off the highway. Previous reviews has us skeptical about the entry and exit, rightfully so. We scouted the entrance and camp sights before committing. Coming from the east we were able to angle in the entrance but were close to dragging a landing gear. In order to exit without issues we used some of the road pack near the entrance to build it up (see before and after pictures). Not sure how long it will last, and you have to hit it at the right angle, but it’s there for now in case anyone needs to use it.

As far as I'm concerned this spot has everything needed for great boondocking. Multiple spots so people don't have to park on top of each other, good scenery, lots of places to hike right outside your door, and a strong cell signal. Oh, and it's only about a 20-minute drive into Steamboat Springs. The downside is that it's fairly close to a busy road, so you will hear the cars whizzing by. Also, as another reviewer noted, the entrance to the road has developed a pretty nasty hump. We did okay coming in, but on the way out we snapped one of the weight distribution bars on our hitch, bent another piece of the hitch, and nearly tore our bumper off. You have been warned.
