Prospector Campground Access

Prospector Campground Access provides vehicle access to 105 campsites at 9,000 feet elevation on Dillon Reservoir's eastern shore, with paved roads to the campground entrance followed by unpaved spurs to individual sites.

The facility offers vault toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, though no electrical hookups or showers are available; boat ramp access for the reservoir is located at nearby marinas in Frisco and Dillon rather than at the campground itself.

This popular Forest Service campground serves as a base for fishing, boating, hiking, and biking activities around the 3,233-acre reservoir.
