About Lowry Campground

At an elevation of 9.3 ft, Lowry Campground is located between Summit Cove and Breckenridge, Colorado in the White River National Forest. This campground is in close proximity to Dillon Reservoir and a handful of trails, making it an ideal setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation. Due to the pine beetle infestation and removal of hazard trees, there is little or no shade in the campground.

1. Site was very small and uneven. Not much room to park the car.
2. $9/night for our car because we didn’t tow it behind our motorhome. I included the car on our reservation, surprised we had to pay.
3. Clean bathrooms.
4. Close to parking lot on biking trail.
5. Convenient location to Frisco and Breck.
6. Nice view.

Really enjoyed our stay at Lowry. Helpful employees and nice quiet nights. Bathrooms and showers were a little dated, but clean. The nightly discussions lead by park employees were educational. We were lucky to have very clear nights - which made the astronomy presentation come to life. Only complaint is the overflowing dumpsters.

Lovely campground! Seems more geared towards RVs but we had a great time with a tent. This spot in particular was nice and close to the bathrooms and also had two trees for setting up a hammock (with XL straps).

Overall this campground was wonderful! Small, and quiet, with lots of space at the site we were at. Views of surrounding mountains gorgeous and just a quick walk or drive to see the lake.

The only thing that is something to consider is proximity to the pit toilets, as the smell was significant. Otherwise a 5 star stay.

I was only there 1 night and was traveling alone, but the host was accommodating and allowed me to change my spot to an open spot closer to the bathrooms. Nice area and very quiet. Clean, well maintained

In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered as one vehicle for determining additional vehicle fees. The third and fourth motorcycle would also be considered as one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles.
