    Overview

    Peak One Campground is located on the Dillon Reservoir near the town of Frisco, offering an abundance of recreational activities. The reservoir is encircled by Swan Mountain and the dramatic Gore and Tenmile Ranges. This campground is an ideal setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation. Due to the pine beetle infestation and removal of hazard trees, there is little or no shade in the campground.

    Recreation

    Dillon Reservoir, often referred to as Lake Dillon, is the greatest draw to this campground. At 3,233 acres, and with 26.8 miles of shoreline, it is an ideal spot for fishing, boating, and sailing. Anglers will find that the reservoir supports a healthy population of rainbow and brown trout, with an occasional cutthroat trout finding its way into the lake from feeder streams. Opportunities for hiking and biking in the area abound, including more than 7 paved miles of the 50-mile Summit County trail system. The Old Dillon Reservoir trail is a favorite. This short, easy trail has spectacular views of the Tenmile Range and the Continental Divide. The Old Dillon Reservoir was built in the 1930s to supply water to the original town of Dillon, which is now covered by the new Dillon Reservoir.

    Natural Features

    In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the 2.3 million acre White River National Forest is a place of serenity and adventure, boasting 8 wilderness areas, 4 defined seasons, and 10 peaks surpassing 14,000 feet in elevation. Described as being more vertical than horizontal, nearby Eagles Nest Wilderness Area, designated in 1976, is a playground of craggy cliffs, sheer rock faces, alpine lakes, and deep, forested valleys. Visitors will find foot travel across this pristine area challenging and often strenuous, but will be rewarded with spectacular scenery. Wildlife in the area abounds. Bighorn sheep navigate rocky ridges and bull elk bugle at dusk. Scenic rivers sustain populations of cutthroat, rainbow, and brown trout. Alpine regions provide habitat for pika and ptarmigan. These species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

    Not my favorite

    When I arrived, I found out the water had been turned off for the season and the dump station was closed, this should be noted on the website in a spot where you can’t miss it Almost all the spots are on the slope so there are steps you have to go down to your table. Spots are very close to each other, no privacy. Tables are old, wooden, and slanting in a lot of the spots. The worst part is the traffic noise, I definitely won’t return to this campground.

    Established, on the River

    We’re Van camping in the lower campground, 50’ from the banks of the Colorado River. Electric & Water. Cabins avl. On the River and upper grounds. Our site, 44 is also located off set and below the deck of the resort event center. (Weekend celebrations may offend some, not us) quite time is 10pm. We’ve enjoyed watching Rafters, Kayakers & Geese float & fly the turns of the River. Wonderful staff. Available if needed. Kevin, manager; generous & helpful. Twilla, the work & stay host att. Is super attentive. Clean, accessible Bathhouse facilities. Discounts on rafting while booked at GCR. 1.7m to downtown Glenwood, (foodies, cute shops) bike path, or… just hang by the river near the boat launch & tent sites. (Our fav. spots!) Great place to R&R, Hot springs, Hike…

    Solid Stay!

    We camped right on the reservoir and watched the sun set from our site. Nice allocated areas to set up tents on flat ground and a good sizes fire pit. Just know there’s no firewood left to scavenge on the grounds.

    Just a couple small things: There was lots of big rigs (although not right next to you) and you could hear highway 34 for a good portion of the stay.

    Incredible Location

    Loved the location. Right on the Colorado River. Bike path is right out the front. We rode it from Aspen down valley and right back to our campsite. A feature we really liked.

    The sites were tight. Class A's take up most of it. The good thing is the row we were on had lots of room to maneuver in front of the site. The Laundry room was broke the 3 days we were there. So prepare for that. I would be back just because of the location.

    Beautiful Spot Nearly Ruined by Glass

    It wasn’t packed, even on the 4th of July. We were able to find spots no problem. The area is gorgeous and quick access to tons of off roading trails. People around are respectful, and there are tons of spots to camp at without feeling too close together. We had a blast. Only downside is the fact that a lot of the campsites are covered in broken glass.

    PS - The stars at night are incredible!

    We attempted to find a spot here for the week of the 4th of July. In hindsight, we should have known this would be difficult at a first come, first serve place. We arrived about 9am and hung out to see if anyone would be leaving but to no prevail. The sites are close together and it is definitely not made for super big rigs. There is a camp host available for questions. It’s on the pricey side at $28/night. We will be back!

    Great views at perfectly small camp

    An established campground with priceless access at the river. Campground is small which means it won’t ever be swarmed with people overnight, but the road to the camp and lot is shared by many river rafting touring guides. Only 3 or 4 sites occupied on my visit in mid-June. This is sage country so no tree privacy or shade but enough space to spread out in your personal site comfortably.

    Only one loop was open/plowed, but that was plenty as I was the only one there for a couple nights. Nothing spectacular about this place during winter, but it appears to be a popular ice fishing spot. 30 amp power was clean. Wasn’t horrible leveling a small camper, but I can see why larger ones would have a hard time.

    Exactly what we wanted!

    My wife and I recently had the most magical four days at this Yurt, and we cannot stop raving about this hidden gem!🌲✨ 

    From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings—the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. The yurt itself was not only cozy and well-equipped but also nestled in a picturesque spot that felt like a private slice of heaven.

    The attention to detail was outstanding. The thoughtful amenities, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfy sleeping quarters, made us feel right at home. We enjoyed quiet evenings by the warm wood stove, gazing at the star-lit sky through the yurt's skylight—a truly enchanting experience. 

    The hosts were incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed for a seamless stay. Their passion for the outdoors and commitment to sustainability added an extra layer of appreciation for our Yurt experience. 

    The hiking trails nearby were a nature lover's dream, offering breathtaking views and a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was the perfect retreat to reconnect with each other and with nature. 

    If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway,  Sawatch Basecamp Yurt is an absolute must-visit. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a unique haven in the wilderness. We're already planning our next escape to this piece of paradise!🏞️❤️

    I arrived around noon on a Monday and there were a few spots. I stayed at 15 which was spacious and had a little trail to the lake. Plenty of room for two tents. Bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen at a campground. Spigots for drinking water, but no place to wash dishes/etc. I was in a tent only section, but did hear some RVs nearby. A family at the site next to me was pretty loud - kids crying all night. Also could hear some traffic from main road. Otherwise it was relaxing and calm. Lots of hikes nearby. Lovely sunset, helpful host!

    Our camper van, fortuitously, broke down near the entrance of the Glenwood Canyon Resort. The Resort staff were very helpful in finding us a mechanic to have a look at the van; however, nothing could be done on the day. This circumstance … More

    Tried to camp there last week on a trip out west but I-70 was closed by the Colorado Dept of Transportation at mile marker 116 because of a mudslide. I was coming from Grand Junction and the Glenwood Canyon Resort is at MM 119 so there was no way to get there from the West. I tried to call the office but it was after 6 pm so no one answered. Found a place to plug in and called the next morning to get a refund and was told their no cancellation policy wouldn't allow me to get a refund even when the highway was closed in the canyon which does happen now and then. Their lame justification was that other people made it there last night and implied that I should have kept driving into a closed interstate highway and try to sneak through. Amazing. I lost the mobile signal while discussing and called back several times and left a voicemail but they didn't want to deal with me so this is my only option. So, unless you are willing to give them your money with no recourse when Glenwood Canyon closes, you are at risk of losing it.

    Gold Park Campground

    Tight, but clean

    You'll pass several free dispersed campsites along this long mountain road as you make your way to this pay-campground. A river runs alongside the campground. There wasn't a camphost during my 2-night stay, but a ranger did his round each day around noon. Vault toilets were well-maintained. No cell service.

    Peak One Campground

    Close to Frisco, Breck, and lots of trails

    This was our first time staying at Peak One even though we've been to Frisco and played disc golf at the Adventure Park many times. The campground has bathrooms with running water and a spigot outside to refill water jugs. Sites have a picnic table and fire ring.

    We had no trouble fitting our 29' Class C, tow dolly, and towed vehicle in the site. Plenty of sun on our solar panels and 4 bars of service on both T-Mobile and AT&T.
