Excellent campground. Only 1/3 occupied, extremely clean, including the toilets. Very quiet, but again, it's only 1/3 occupied. It's a little speedy at $26/night, but totally worth. For sure would stay here again if I am out this way.

Generally nice rustic campground. I deducted one star since it seemed half were locals, just looking to party with their water toys. And someone's car alarm going off at odd hours.

Fantastic views - NO potable water available because of some kind of bacteria. 30' Airstream travel trailer fit into the sites we selected- a lot of the sites are only for small rigs or tents - you have to be careful on your length and width (some sites are too narrow for slide-outs). Pics are from D-74 and E-82. Short drive into either Frisco or Dillon for supplies and water.

Prospector was a great place to hike with your pup(s). It was clean, the host was attentive, the water had iron in it which I am not into but it had water unlike so many this year. The trails were awesome!!! Me and my pup walked along the lake shore between loop D and E mornings and at dusk...BEAUTIFUL! Sites are relatively close but there's a lot of green between them. Many have nothing behind them but forest (love that)! There's trash bins but like maybe one per loop, water spigots around the loops (not at every site), vault toilets. I was in site 48D, no leveling needed, little patches of trees around me. I was in the "Y"of two roads (busy) but had toilet and water right across the street. I only stayed 2 nights but enjoyed my stay. Thunderstorm during the night kept the temperatures very comfortable.

We went in October and had a great stay. The toilets were clean and the hosts were very nice. The site was great & had lots of flat space for a tent. Was nice to walk to the water (although a bit steep to get down to it)

Very clean and well kept. Some unconsider camper decided to take our reserved spot, but the park keepers were very kind and even though they couldn't find the person in out spot, she did us one better and set us up on a site with water view that took our breath away and made our trip 100 times better. She was so kind and had such an amazing positive vibe we forgot about the issue in a hot minute. Bathrooms are super clean, no trash anywhere. Overall an amazing experience

Not anywhere close to Lake. Good trees & sites spread pretty well. Not incredibly busy. Stars were great! No hook ups.

We had a great time at Prospector! The Camp host was just great - super friendly and helpful. The campground is nice, very clean, and very well maintained. The chipmunks are cute albeit a bit too friendly. Plenty of room between you and your neighbors. Fresh water available on every loop. Trash cans a plenty. Firewood for purchase on site. Everything you need. This sounds funny but the standout is that the vault bathrooms were INCREDIBLY clean. So much cleaner than any other parks vault toilet I've ever had to use. There is very little shade as all the trees are quite short - normal for this geography though. If you're hoping for a Lake view, you won't find it on loop C... I'm not sure if any of the loops truly had a lake view.

Prospector CG is a mix of highs and lows. For example, it has amazing views of the reservoir and views of several 14,000 foot peaks which combines to be absolutely breathtaking. It’s usually nice and quiet but there are no rangers out regularly so the occasional drunk howling at the moon will not be reminded to keep it down. But the most bizarre thing is their stance on conserving water. They are literally directly adjacent to a 320 million cubic meter reservoir and for some reason feel the need to conserve water. They literally have a water spigot installed and ready to use except it has a padlock. Very strange. We’re on a long term trip so we planned on filling water at this particular location so it was frustrating when we got the email a week prior to our stay that they would not allow RV filling. I would give this place a 5 despite the howling man if it weren’t for the water. The water thing is just silly and frustrating so it’s a 3.

We stayed here frequently over the summer. Its a little outside of town and there are pit toilets,fire rings, and picnic tables here. It was very peaceful and relaxing and some of the best memories of this summer were made here.
