This was my second year in a row camping here on a weekend towards the end of August! The Prospector Campground is a great option for those who want to go camping but still remain close to town and for those who want just a short walk to fish the shoreline of Lake Dillon. It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Dillon / Silverthorne / Frisco area so there are plenty of amenities and resupply options nearby. It is right next to Lake Dillon and even has a short hiking path down to the shoreline. There are a ton of fun things to do within a short drive. The first year I camped there we drove out to Breckenridge to hike the Mayflower Gulch Trail (more info here → https://youtu.be/QBtELSLV5Kc ) and this year we rented a pontoon boat from the Dillon Marina and spent a day out on the reservoir. The campsites at the Prospector Campground are pretty large and can accommodate all sorts of camping styles. We used a tent but we saw a ton of RVs there as well. We had a pretty big group so it was nice that we were able to reserve two adjacent sites online ahead of time. Every campsite has at least a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill grate. The campground has ample dumpsters for getting rid of trash in addition to privy style compost toilets. They even provide toilet paper. There are no bear proof food lockers so you will have to put all of your food items back into your car before going to bed or leaving the campsite during the day. The first year I camped at the Prospector Campground there were potable water spigots but something must have happened to the plumbing because a year later they were disabled. Despite this inconvenience, they did email us prior to our reservation date informing us to bring our own water. I’m sure they’ll fix the spigots in due time but it was just something I thought I should note. The campground was pretty full on both weekends that I camped there so I’d venture a guess that it's not the best option for walk-ins. Also, I should note that fishing is only allowed with a state issued permit.
