About

Woven into the rugged limestone canyons of the Black Hills, Steamboat Recreation Area offers a serene escape where the scent of Ponderosa Pine meets the gentle rush of Boxelder Creek. Massive rock cliffs tower over quiet, shaded sites, creating a natural cathedral for those seeking a quiet detour from the typical frenzied pace. 10 Sites are spread across the recreation area, offering two large group tent site areas and eight other more intimate tent-only campsites.For facility specific information, please call (661) 702-1420.Nearby recreation opportunities include an extensive network of OHV trails that can be accessed just a few miles from recreation area. The Centennial Trail can be accessed via the Blue Draw Trailhead (4.3 miles away) or Pilot Knob Trailhead (6.3 miles away).
