Good campsite! Good views.
Neighbors were noisy one night- kids partying past midnight…

Site 22 was a pull through which made it very easy for us. We went midweek so it was very peaceful.
Wanted to stay longer but unable to get weekend dates here or any surrounding area.

We had a great time and the lake is beautiful this time of year. The campground was full and you could hear the happy sounds of children. Nothing annoying, just people having fun and enjoying the weather and scenery. I'd love to come back.

We love Prospector Campground! This was our 2nd time back and it’s always been really well maintained. This site is nice, there’s enough young trees around to provide a buffer from your neighbors but not really to provide shade. We had 3 tents set up for our group and were comfortable.

So great. Beautiful site with great views. Campfire ring with grill cover was perfect for cooking. Neighbors nearby but still felt private. Also has two dedicated parking spots.

Camping for the first time at Prospector, we had a wonderful time. Our site 016B is a pull through, not perfectly level but easy enough to set up our 25 ft trailer. The site includes a picnic table and fire ring with a grate. Our views of the mountains where amazing and we had the best view for sunsets. The site had plenty of privacy and felt large as it was an open meadow with short pine trees. We enjoyed the trails for easy hikes that are accessible from other loops. This was first weekend in June, so the water was not turned on. The vault toilets were still nearly empty making them very tolerable. The generator hours are early and some rigs started their generators as early as 6:45am and ran them for several hours every morning and evening. We love this area and plan to return.
