Lowry Campground

How does a campground balancing open skies, proximity to a premier reservoir, and elevation at 9,320 feet sound? Lowry Campground in Dillon, Colorado, defies the typical image of heavily wooded camping with its treeless sites but rewards visitors with expansive mountain views and direct access to outdoor recreation in the White River National Forest.

Lowry features 27 campsites, 22 of which provide electric hookups for RVs and trailers, accommodating vehicles up to 55 feet. Despite the lack of shade from tree removal due to pine beetle infestation, the well-maintained amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and vault toilets. The campground's prime location near Dillon Reservoir ensures easy access to activities like fishing, boating, and hiking, including scenic trails like the Old Dillon Reservoir Trail. Guests can also enjoy Summit County's paved biking trails that explore the area’s breathtaking terrain.

Situated just 15 minutes from Dillon and less than 30 minutes from Breckenridge or Keystone, the campground places visitors in reach of iconic recreation hubs. Nearby attractions include skiing at world-class resorts and exploring the Eagles Nest Wilderness, offering opportunities for wildlife viewing, alpine lakes, and rugged hikes. Lowry appeals to both families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a central base for day trips or extended vacations in Colorado’s Rockies.
