Prospector

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The views are stunning and it is close to Breckinridge and Frisco.

This was our second time staying at Prospector Campground and it was just as great a the first time. A bit more crowded that it was the first time but just as quiet and peaceful as ever. Weather threatened to storm daily but each day ended up being nice, partly sunny and windy at times. Nighttime was when the rain came in.

from the time I arrived at the site until the time that I left, the staff was both courteous and professional and helpful in every way!

The bathrooms had absolutely zero smell and were very well kept up. The host cruised around and was very available in case we had questions sites were clean and it was an awesome location. Everyone at the site was respectful with quiet hours. We had a lovely time and will definitely visit again.

Clean campsite and the sites are pretty spread out. Enjoyed our time there

Multiple dogs off leash. Host didn't seem to notice.
Other campers playing their music too loud.

Our site was perfect for a family of five and had plenty of space for our tent, shade shelter, and had a picnic table and plenty of room. It was very clean and organized and close to Trails that lead straight out to the lake. We will definitely be back again.

Campsites are very close in proximity with little cover. But otherwise very very nice!

Nice campground with large sites. No electric, water or dump station. There is one at the bottom of the hill with potable water. Very quiet and lots of trees for shade. Site had a large cleared area with picnic table. Lots of hiking trails as well.

Recreation.Gov really surprised me in a great way!

My wife and I did a recon trip to Prospector Campground in Dillon, CO and located an available site suitable for our 35 for class a motorhome for the upcoming four day campy. I mistakenly had the app open for Lowry Campground which is located on the east side of the highway. Turns out both campgrounds had the same site number available.

I called up recreation.gov and explained what happened. The associate was very accommodating and helped get the wrong reservation canceled with a full refund and booked us for the correct campgrounds including the site we wanted.

Awesome campground, furthest site from the lake is less than a quarter mile easy hike. Very nice hosts, two were there at two different sites. Amazing color changes in the aspens surrounding the lake, gorgeous mountains, a full moon with a partial lunar eclipse, very quiet at all hours during the entire stay. We highly recommend this campground (Prospector).

Our only complaint is the road from the highway to the campground entrance. Speed limit is 25 and it is very washboard ridden. I could not go above 8 mph without rattling the beegeezus out of our coach. I basically kept her right at 5 mph. Not a big deal but be forewarned if your rig doesn't like washboard. Maybe make the speed limit 10 mph like it is in most campgrounds, would cut down on washboard creation.
