Prospector in Colorado. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 939 public campsites we map in Colorado.

At an elevation of 9,000 feet, Prospector Campground is in the heart of Summit County in the White River National Forest. The sites offer open views to Dillon Reservoir and several mountain ranges, 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.
