Prospector

We really enjoyed our stay. The campground was and surrounding area was very beautiful! In addition, both the camp host families were extremely helpful and friendly. Lastly, the vault toilets were the cleanest I have ever seen! We would definitely stay here again.

Busy campground in an area of the state frequented by large numbers of tourists. Few trees. Beetle kill has taken its toll but new trees are sprouting up. In a few years there may be more privacy between sites again. There is good distance between the sites, but visually you have little privacy. This site, number 108, had a small number of trees that offered greater privacy than many of the sites. It backed up to the lake but the view was blocked by trees in the distance. We walked out with chairs for the evening sunset. A hike around the lake shore is easily accessed from the lower campground loop or a social trail behind near this campsite. Restrooms were cleaned frequently. No running water in restrooms, but in Covid times that keeps campers' time in the restrooms to a minimum. Close to Breckinridge, Dillon, Keystone. That's the plus and the minus.
Not a wilderness experience.

Hello
We ended up going to Arapahoe bay camp ground on Lake Grand, and we feel the camp ground host was totally ripping us off! We ask if we could transfer sites due to the air quality and he said no. Then we paid for a site in the middle of the campground and a different lake site opened up, he said he could not transfer us to the lake site even though we got to stay there. So I he made us pay again. We ended up paying 3 different sites to stay at one site. Same thing happened again the next night. The lake site open and he wouldn’t transfer it snd madd us pay again. Then the next day the other campground employee was there cleaning restrooms and helping while “ Jeff” was gone. She helped us again stay at the lake site instead of the one in the middle that Jeff would not refund us and she said it’s easy to just transfer. So finally we didn’t get double charged. Then when Jeff came back he seemed to get angered by this and told my husband we had to pay extra for our car. He had never said that the previous nights and now we still got stuck paying extra. We feel Jeff was totally ripping us off. All we had was a tent and a van. He made us pay for the site at Prospector, and two sites at Arapahoe because he was unwilling to transfer us to the lake site after we paid for the middle site. We have used this website before in Mi. And never had this issue. We never had a problem transferring if we found a different better site. We never had to pay extra for our car.
Please let us know why we had to triple pay to Jeff. and pay extra for a car, when it doesn’t usually work that way.
Thanks Diane Gagliano

Very nice campground, toilets aren’t flush style and there are no showers, as advertised, beautiful surroundings but you unfortunately can not swim in the reservoir.

Campground is a gem, the camp hosts are fabulous!

We loved the location but would greatly appreciate limits on generator use. Separate loops and shortened periods of use would greatly improve the camping experience.

Vault bathrooms were super clean. Campsites well maintained. Fantastic location. Will definitely be back.

Loved it! Will stay here again...great views

This was a great campsite with a nice walk to the reservoir. It was quite a bit dusty when we were there, but overall very nice!

If you want a campground that isn't too remote and has good cell coverage then Prospector is perfect. Space between sites is average. Some loops have more tees. We were in loop E which didn't have many trees, but we didn't mind because the view was wonderful. Our only issue was that the last stretch of the walk down to the lake was very steep. My husband had an ankle injury that made it difficult for him. The fishing was good so he managed to get down there.
