About

Lowry Campground sits at 9,320 feet elevation in the White River National Forest, nestled between Summit Cove and Breckenridge in Summit County, Colorado. The campground offers 27 sites: 24 with 30-amp electric hookups (sites 2-24) that require reservations, and 3 tent-only sites available first-come-first-served. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food locker. Due to past pine beetle infestation and hazard tree removal, shade is limited throughout the campground. Dillon Reservoir is the primary attraction, providing 26.8 miles of shoreline for fishing, boating, and sailing. The reservoir supports healthy populations of rainbow and brown trout, with occasional cutthroat trout from feeder streams. Note that body contact with the reservoir is prohibited. Over 7 paved miles of the Summit County trail system are accessible nearby, including the Old Dillon Reservoir trail with views of the Tenmile Range and Continental Divide. Black bears are prevalent in the area, and all food and attractants must be properly stored. Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountain ski resorts are all within 10 miles.

Directions

From I-70, take exit 205. Travel east on Highway 6 towards Keystone for approximately 3 miles. Turn right on Swan Mountain Road and proceed 1.5 miles to the Lowry Campground sign. Turn left and proceed half a mile to the campground.
