About

Dexter Campground is a scenic first-come, first-served campground located on the northern shore of Twin Lakes Reservoir at 9,300 feet elevation. Adjacent to the Dexter Point Boating Site, the campground provides direct access to fishing, boating, and the stunning views of Colorado's highest peaks. The campground features 11 tent-only sites and 8 large RV sites. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring all water needed for drinking, cooking, and fire extinguishing. Firewood is sold at the host site for $10 per bundle. Sites cost $26 per night, which includes two vehicles. A third vehicle costs an additional $11 per night. Maximum occupancy is 8 people per site. Check-in is at 2 p.m., check-out at 11 a.m., and quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Dogs are allowed but must remain leashed at all times.

Directions

From Leadville, travel approximately 20 miles south on Highway 82 to the Twin Lakes area. The campground is located on the northern shore of Twin Lakes Reservoir, adjacent to Dexter Point Boating Site.
