This is a great campsite with an excellent view. The campground in general seems to be popular with people that use travel trailers, there is no electricity so be prepared to listen to generators at all hours. Generators should be against the rules at primitive campgrounds, stay home and watch tv there. People camp to have peace and quiet not listen to small gasoline engines!

Campground were kept very clean including bathrooms. Itβs very close to both Dillon and Breckenridge Co. My only issue is that the trees are still small so itβs not high enough to give you shade when in a tent or that deep forest camping feel but still beautiful scenery everyday you look.

Love Prospector Campground. I stay there every year to go biking in Summit County.

Apparently the Campground a little down the road was rented out for an all-night rave. Loud music all night long - until I called the county sheriff around 3am.
Terrible experience.

There were a bunch of thriving young trees around our site in Loop B but they weren't yet tall enough to really provide relief from the afternoon sun. Our site was very much in the open and the sun got quite intense. Not a complaint just a heads up! And everything about the campground and area I clouding the drive up there was absolutely incredible. Will definitely be staying here again and we'll bring along a canopy for shade!

Beautiful big spaces. Wish camp host would hold people to the rules of quiet hours. Booming music until 1:00 am not ok. But that's not the site's problem.

Overall we had a great experience at the campground. We stayed in spot 09 and it was a good setup. There are very small trees but there was enough distance between sites that it didn't feel like your neighbors were too close. The hike down to the lake was also fun and we would recommend.
