Sunrise at Stagecoach State Park
Our first official outing with our new truck camper was at Stagecoach State Park, about half an hour outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We’ve camped there a couple of times over the years, but this campsite was the best yet. We completely lucked into it, too. It was the very last site available, and just so happened to be right on the lake. Score!
The reason for the trip was to watch our daughter and her fiancé (yes!) play in the doubles volleyball tournament in early July. Scott’s dad was staying with us at the time, so he joined us for the weekend. Anna and Dalton and their friends came over to swim and have a cookout the night before, which was really fun. I miss cooking for a group of kids; they are all young adults at this point, but they’ll always be my kids.
I woke up to watch the sunrise over the lake, then took a long hike to stretch my legs and enjoy the views. There’s a group day-use area nearby with a small amphitheater, picnic tables and horseshoe pits. Bathrooms are a short walk away. There is a beach area with sand volleyball and a marina close by, too.
Our campsite was in the Junction City Loop. The views were spectacular, and it was fun to watch the boats, jet skis, kayaks and ducks go by. We had enough cell service (AT&T) in one spot of the site to sometimes send and receive texts. We had electricity and potable water nearby, but not close enough to reach with the hose. Two hearty thumbs up Stagecoach State Park and this campsite.
