Prospector Campground

Beautiful views!

The sites at Prospector are well-spaced offering some privacy even though the trees between many sites are still small.  But on the bright side, the shorter trees allow for a great view overlooking Lake Dillon, for now.  The majority of the sites including ours, are spacious with a fire ring and picnic table provided.

Despite the pine beetle infestation, a few stands of mature trees remain throughout the campground including our site (64), allowing for hanging a clothesline and hammock as well as serving as a nice wind break from the N/NW for our tent.

The campground offers water faucets, trash dumpsters, and vault toilets throughout.  Firewood can be purchased from the friendly campground host.

During our time in camp, we didn't see much wildlife although the host informed us upon our arrival that a moose had been frequenting the sites nearer the lake in recent days.

Here's the link for more info and to make reservations.  For sites near the lake, reservations should be made at least a month in advance, but for many of the other sites it's not necessary.  Including taxes and fees, it was just over $26/night (tent).
