About the campground
The elevation is 5,800 ft. The campground stretches informally along the south shore of Prosser Reservoir. Each campsite has a table and fire ring but no grille and most are in the open with lots of sun. Boats can be moored at shore line. It is said there is usually an afternoon breeze for sailing. The campground is an excellent location for families and friends. Very dusty but great views of the reservoir and mountains in the background. Because of 10mph speed limit for powerboats, Prosser Reservoir is great for canoeing, tubing, sailing, rafts, etc.
