Ask an AI about this campsiteOpens Grok already loaded with this site. It reads the same records this page is built from, and links whatever it tells you.
Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

The unit that manages Seedhouse
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Seedhouse are set by Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, not by the campsite — check there before you go.
Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Lost Dog at 9,350 ft, about 3 miles away. It sits about 1,316 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.

Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-27: $26 per night for a single site. Pay on site in EXACT cash or check only -- the forest warns no change is given and that NO CREDIT CARDS are accepted; payment instructions are on the kiosk. Confirmed by two sources: the Medicine Bow-Routt NF campground page (updated May 20 2026) and recreation.gov facility 234552 'SEEDHOUSE CAMPGROUND', which sits 0.052 mi from this pin and charges $26 for a standard non-electric site. NOTE FOR THE NEXT EDITOR, measured not guessed: this row is almost certainly a DUPLICATE of our other Seedhouse record. The forest page prints coordinates 0.003 mi from this pin and 0.230 mi from that one, and the two rows sit 0.227 mi apart under different agency ids (usfs/2256842 here, usfs/2255288 there). Same campground, two rows, $26 either way -- de-duplicate rather than re-price. This row also carries the better agency link of the two: the other row's recreation.gov id points at the separate Seedhouse Group Site. Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District, Seedhouse Road.

Field check
On the agency's books. The land manager inventoried this site, so its existence is not in question — current conditions are. Nobody from here has camped it recently.
What we don’t know about Seedhouse
A land record can put you within a few meters of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- Road surface & last-mile access
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
