Site was nice however, people did not pay attention to the quiet hours as we had groups partying until 1-2 in the morning. Loud musical, dogs running unleashed, camp fires and loud talking to the point of fights

Prospector campground never disappoints! The campsites are all very well maintained and clean when we arrive. The bathrooms are immaculate for a campground, never smell, and are always stocked well. The location couldnβt be better with walking access to Dillon Reservoir. Always a please staying here!

The sight was clean. Host was friendly. The sight was too small. People tent camping were in pull through spots that would better serve campers. Perhaps reserve pull through and larger sites for βRVβ camping

Amazing campground with postcard picture Views! We felt it was a little pricey for no hook upsbut what it lacked there, it made up for in the beauty. The camping spots are far enough apart as well so you donβt feel like you are on top of your neighbor. We will definitely return!

Beautiful views and easy access to all Dillon has to offer. I would have given a higher rating, but we weren't allowed to use the campground water to fill our camper fresh water tank. This is one of the primary reasons we pay to stay at a campground. We consider this part of what we are paying for. Restricting access due to a drought is not acceptable. A good business would never charge you for something and then change the terms of the agreement.

Lovely campground. Bathrooms impeccably clean. We had one of the worst sites but would still go back, especially now that we noted the best sites!

No RV water and you still charge us the same amount? Not a good experience. Now I know why I dry camp!
