Riverside Camping Close to Silverthorne
This small campground is located right on the Blue River between Silverthorne and Green Mountain Reservoir on Highway 9. It is about 6 miles from Silverthorne and beautiful Dillon Reservoir. There are 24 camping sites, vault toilets, picnic tables and fire pits with grill grates. There are also bear proof lockers at each sight. Bathrooms are well-maintained. There is no firewood available for purchase at campground, so get some in-town. $20 per night and slightly more on holidays. Pay your fee in the envelope at the entrance (side of the info sign). There was a host on duty.
There were a good amount of riverside camp sites, some with shade some with less tree cover. I was able to score an awesome sight by the river even on a busy weekend. Great spot for fishing (no bait).
The one downside is that it is relatively close to the highway, so if you don’t get a river spot the noise could be an issue depending on what you’re hoping for! It didn’t bother us as the river sounds covered the highway noise.
Stay limit is 14 days.
From I-70 take Exit 205, Silverthorne/Dillon, and travel north on HWY 9 for approximately 6 miles. The campground is on the right side of the highway
