White River/Prairie Point

RV Park

Overview

Overview

Located along the scenic banks of the Blue River, the White River/Prairie Point area offers a serene escape for outdoor enthusiasts visiting Dillon, Colorado. This location provides a more rustic and natural camping experience compared to traditional commercial RV parks. Travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the high-alpine environment will appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the immediate proximity to the water, making it a popular choice for those who value nature over elaborate resort-style facilities.

Location & Surroundings

Situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the park offers stunning vistas of the surrounding peaks. Its position near the Dillon Reservoir allows for easy access to one of the most beautiful bodies of water in Colorado. The elevation provides cool, refreshing temperatures even during the peak of summer, though guests should be prepared for changing mountain weather conditions and crisp evening air that characterizes this high-altitude destination.

Amenities & Park Features

Because this area prioritizes a primitive mountain experience, amenities are intentionally kept simple. Guests will find designated campsites that accommodate various sizes of vehicles, though visitors should verify specific length restrictions before arrival. The site is primarily focused on providing a scenic basecamp for recreation rather than full hookups, so travelers should plan to be self-sufficient during their stay in this breathtaking wilderness setting.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

The surrounding region is a paradise for active travelers. The nearby Dillon Reservoir is a hub for boating, fishing, and kayaking, while the extensive trail systems surrounding the area offer endless miles for hiking and mountain biking. In the winter months, the park serves as a convenient home base for those heading to world-class ski resorts. The local town of Dillon also features charming shops and dining options that showcase the vibrant mountain culture.

Who This Park Is Best For

White River/Prairie Point is ideal for self-contained RVers who prefer a tranquil atmosphere over busy amenities. It is a perfect match for adventurers, photographers, and anglers who want to wake up steps away from the water. If you value solitude and direct access to Colorado's rugged beauty, this site offers a memorable stay that connects you deeply with the natural landscape of Summit County.

Very nice spot! Some campgrounds are small and there is no shade on some of them. Toilets are super clean. No shops close to the campground but the host sells firewood. Very easy access to the river and the lake is close by. No tmobile coverage.

The area is beautiful with somewhat easy access to the river. However, the sites are very small. Luckily, we had an end site. So only 1 neighbor. I was aware of the small sites before we left. I was not prepared for 18 people, 9 tents and 7 cars to occupy the even smaller site just next to my family of 4. Including a 4 year old. It felt like our neighbors were in our tent with us! Especially at 2 am! The reservation page clearly stated 4 people and 1 car and a second car may be available for an added fee. I guess I expected everyone else camping would have courtesy for all of the other campers. There was never anyone driving through, checking on occupancy or verifying reservations. All of their tents and cars spread into both other sites adjacent to theirs. They were up drinking and playing games until 3-4 in the morning. If I were to repeat this trip, I'd be sure to book the adjacent sites to mine so we could have a buffer between tents. Unless you are ready for a 3 day impromptu party, I'd avoid these.

Easy, accessible campground local to Silverthorne. Our family stayed here for a night in August and had a great time. I’ll start with the Pros: - beautiful views; it’s nestled right along the water you can easily access by walking down a path. Great for fishing/paddleboarding & kayaking. A popular spot for catamarans to float down. - each site has a fire ring, long picnic table, and bear box - There are several super clean vaulted toilets with toilet paper. The campsite has two main clusters of sites and each has 2 restrooms. we stayed on sites 9 & 10 and it was a quick walk. If you want to be very close to them I suggest staying near site 15-19. - dog friendly - reservations posted on pole in front of campsite - each site has parking right next to camp - large dumpster by toilets to dispose of trash Cons: - campsites are very close together and some are much smaller than others. We were fine in 9 & 10 because 9 is on the corner so no one was to the right and 10 had a bush that provided some privacy, but can be loud depending who your neighbors are. Thankfully, when we stayed there all noise had died down by 10pm. - no shade at all. Having a canopy is a must. - there is some minor highway noise, but honestly barely noticed. Not much at night. - can be a little buggy, wasn’t terrible - sites have a lot of holes from prairie dogs. Just something to be aware of so you don’t trip (have ample light) Good to know: - we needed to book a 2 night reservation for the weekend, but we’re only able to do one night. It cost around $45. You need to check in by 12pm on the 2nd day of reservation or your campsite will be given away. - the weather was saying 0 chance of rain, but we got poured on 3x throughout the afternoon. The wind blew our canopy off so make sure you have good stakes and rain gear. It passed quickly. - no water, must bring your own - didn’t see any bears but it’s bear country so prepare accordingly

This is an absolutely beautiful place if you're looking to get away from the city and go and just try to relax and go fishing you can camp here they do have bathrooms and they are dog friendly with picnic tables and fire rings. It is $20 a night to camp not bad

We stayed here last night, not our favorite. Camp spots are so close together. The people on our left were taking up half our site by the time we got there, and the group on the right had dogs that barked all night. Lots of mosquitos. But close to town and pretty views, fun to be by the water too.
