Positioned along the western shore of Lake Dillon, Peak One Campground sits within White River National Forest just one mile from downtown Frisco. The 78-site campground accommodates RVs up to 99 feet and operates from late May through early September at $28 per night.
Sites range from lakefront spots with direct water access to more open areas set back from the shoreline. Jade G. notes "the sites are private b/c they are surrounded by little conifers," though several campers mention that spacing varies throughout the campground. The terrain includes both forested sections and open areas, with some sites offering mountain views in multiple directions while others focus on lake proximity.
Lake Dillon provides the main recreation draw, with campers launching kayaks and paddleboards directly from the shoreline. Mountain biking trails connect to the campground, and the nearby Frisco Adventure Park offers additional activities. Cell service reaches most sites with strong signals reported on major carriers. Beth B. found "toilets were clean, but bring soap and a towel…only TP and water at sink." The campground lacks showers, though the Silverthorne Recreation Center provides this service for $5 per person.
Reservations open three months ahead and fill quickly, especially for lakefront sites and summer weekends. First-come, first-served sites occasionally become available, but campers should arrive early to secure spots. The proximity to Frisco means road noise reaches some areas, and the campground can feel busy during peak season. For additional options beyond the immediate area, campers can explore sites outside Frisco.
Peak One works well for RV campers wanting full hookups near recreational activities and those prioritizing lake access over remote wilderness camping.
Description
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.
Facilities
Peak One Campground has 80 sites able to accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs. The campground is equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, flush toilets(temporary out of service-vault toilets in place, and drinking water. Electrical hook-ups are not available. Firewood is for sale from hosts at the campground. Boat ramp access is available in the marinas located in the nearby towns of Frisco and Dillon.
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.
Nearby Attractions
Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountain ski resorts are all located within 10 miles of Dillon Reservoir. These resorts stay open year round.
