Description

USDA Forest Service

White River National Forest

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.

Amazing Views

The campground has spacious spots. Ours was large enough for a popup and very large tent. Our site was also a short walk down to Lake Dillon which was perfect for the kids and dogs to splash around in. Close proximity to Frisco is great too if you want to get some pizza for a meal.

The campground is in a great location. Bike trails to all the towns nearby, and Frisco Adventure Park is located at the entrance to the campground. Sites are well spaced and private. Gave it 4 stars because bathrooms are closed and there is no potable water available in the 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.

Beautiful and peaceful

Snagged a first come first serve lakeside spot…camp hosts told us to check out sites and pay at main gate for the one we wanted…very easy. We took our chairs up to a spot where we could watch the sunset over the water, then built a fire and enjoyed a very peaceful night. There were other campers around us but no issues at all. Toilets were clean, but bring sop and a towel…only TP and water at sink. No showers, we used recreation center nearby in Silverthorne $5 pp. Beautiful area…plenty of recreation and views.

Great spot with walking distance to reservoir

The camp site was clean and it was a great location that was close enough to walk to the reservoir with paddle boards. Tons of hiking trails around to get out and explore. The sites were a little close and not many trees for cover, but overall a great spot.

Peak One Campground

Came here without reservations, completely on a whim and scored an awesome site! The campground is beautifully nestled next to the Frisco Bay and the views are stunning from every which way. We enjoyed the sunsets sitting at the beach of the lake - highly recommended! Tons of hiking trails, biking trails, a day use area, bike park, dog friendly (must be on a leash - BEAR country!) and they have flushing bathrooms. Which were clean and well maintained. We will defiantly be back!

This campground just off of I 70 in Frisco. Easy to find . Stayed here one night in a motorcycle adventure. They had a few open sites for one night only which was all we need. Very clean and quiet and easy walk to the lake . The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to this camp again.

This campsite has gorgeous views. The campsites don’t feel like they are in top of each other and their are flushable toilets that were very clean. The only downside is that are on not showers on site. You can go to Silverthorne Rec center for $5/person to use the showers. Which is less than 15 minutes from the campsite.

Great campground

We've camped at Peak One a few times and have only ever had great experiences. The facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the views are beautiful. The campground is close to many hikes, but within the campground itself you can hike along a trail close to the lake (note that you'll share this trail with mountain bikers). We'll keep coming back to this one.

Smartest place to stay in Summit County, spectacular 360 mountain views

This is the smartest place to stay in Summit County.  You are a few minutes' drive (could walk) into the town of Frisco, in case you want to enjoy the town.  There is a strong signal for mobile phones and I was able to work the entire time we were there.

The campground is spectacular in that it is right on lake Dillon, while you can see mountains everywhere.  360 mountain views with a lake view, combined with location, make this one of my favorites ever.  

The bathrooms are flushing toilets and very clean.  There are a lot of them, too, so you feel like you aren't sharing with too many people.  

The sites are private b/c they are surrounded by little conifers.  

We loved it here!

Beautiful!

We really enjoyed this spot! Those sites on the lake seem primo but our site still had some good space and not too close to others (though very few trees so not a ton of privacy and would need a shade in the warmer months). Sunset was beautiful, enjoyed skipping rocks and even some mountain biking for our 9 year old. Did a hike at Lily Pad Lake and a quick trip into downtown Frisco. Had a great time and hope to be back!

“Vacation” camping

Really fun place to camp!! There is so much to do within walking distance from this campground. It’s right on the beach of lake Dillon, bike trails go through the campground, Frisco adventure park etc. We got lucky and found a spot here on a Saturday morning, but it seems to be full often. There is a water station and restrooms. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring-no bear boxes but I doubt they’re needed here. Not a ton of privacy or super quiet at night, but seriously such a fun place to camp.

If Peak One is full, you can try Pine Cove right down the road. It’s first come, first serve but basically just a large parking lot on the lake.

Great family campground

We come here every year. The kids like to play in the reservoir and ride their bikes around it or around the campground. A lot of the sites are closer than I would prefer. You can find a few sites that offer more privacy. The negative is that there is a lot of lose dirt where you cook and eat. Also even though there is a ten o’clock curfew, I’ve been there when it’s ignored and people are partying.

The bathrooms are okay. Pretty clean. They have well water for dishes and it’s drinkable. No showers.

If you plan early for July 4th you can watch fireworks from your site.

Beautiful, clean and convenient

Just a few miles off I-70, in Frisco, CO, is the location of Peak One Campground. This is a very clean campground, and the only one around Lake Dillon with flush toilets and sinks. Frisco shopping and restaurants are only 10 minutes away and Summit Medical Center is 5 minutes. Even with the town being so close, when in the Campground it feels like being miles from everything. This campground is part of the White River National Forest and is run by CLM with two camp host couples living in the campground. There is walk up access to Lake Dillon for kayaks and paddle boards, and a few campsites have direct access to the lake. This is a very busy campground so it is best to reserve a spot on-line. Walk up sites are rare, especially on weekends.

Just because You Pay Doesn't Mean You Get to Stay

I, like most folks we spoke with after our experience, were not aware that you could book a site 3 months in advance and then have it be given to someone else who comes in earlier than you. We booked well in advance to be set up for the @townoffrisco triathlon we were racing Saturday and spend a few days in town. We called on Thursday to say we would not make it until Friday, then to our surprise we rolled in Friday to a large class A in our reserved site. It seems because of the high demand for camp spots the hosts not only have zero empathy but almost seem to relish in immediately taking defense with an elitist flair to their position of power, no matter how kind and understanding you are. Power does corrupt... It's unfortunate that people do not matter - after giving away our site to trolls who despite the full campground sign came in to scavenge a site, the hosts sent us on a wild goose chase to another campground on the other side of the lake to meet a "Bob," who would put us in overflow for the night. Well Bob was a no show, so our 29' RV full of hungry kids and stressed parent racers drove around that campground only to drive back to Frisco and end up in a parking lot at 10:30pm wondering if we would be kicked out at some point in the night. Needless to say, one of us raced the other did not sleep well in the parking lot and had to forfeit. Both camp hosts we dealt with did not care, nor have the tools to find us an alternative. They could have gotten creative and found a spot somewhere onsite but rather harshly passed the buck and left us searching hours for a place to sleep with no where to go. Read the fine print, and remember, they can do what they want without recourse. We never yelled or were belligerent despite our frustration and utter disbelief, maybe we should have. All we could think of was these site stealing folks paid them extra for our spot, hosts made double the money on that one. At the Marina, we heard tales of the horrible Peak One hosts, really sad Frisco.
