About Windy Point Group (Co)
Perched high in the Colorado Rockies, Windy Point Group Campground beckons adventure-seekers looking to share the mountain experience with friends and family. This exclusive group destination features two distinct camping areas—the panoramic Lake Loop with its stunning reservoir views, and the intimate Forest Loop nestled among the pines. At 9,000 feet, you'll wake to crisp mountain air and sweeping vistas of the surrounding peaks. While recent forest management has opened up the canopy, creating sun-drenched sites perfect for stargazing, the unobstructed views of Dillon Reservoir and the surrounding mountain ranges more than compensate for the minimal shade.
Windy Point Group Campground caters specifically to large groups, offering spacious sites designed for group camping. Both tent and RV camping are supported, and the Lake Loop includes a handicap-accessible group shelter.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time along the nearby Old Dillon Reservoir Trail, a Depression-era pathway that tells the poignant story of Colorado's changing landscape. Built in the 1930s, this historic trail once connected the original town of Dillon to its water supply—a community that now lies silent beneath the shimmering waters of the modern reservoir. Each step along this trail connects today's visitors to the pioneers and workers who shaped this mountain region, transforming it from frontier wilderness to the recreational paradise it is today.

ElevationAt a breathtaking 9,000 feet above sea level, Windy Point offers a true high-country camping experience where the air is thin, the views are endless, and summer temperatures remain delightfully cool. This lofty perch provides panoramic vistas that stretch across multiple mountain ranges, while the elevation creates perfect conditions for escaping summer's heat. Here, afternoon thunderstorms build dramatically against the peaks, wildflowers bloom in compressed seasons, and the night sky seems close enough to touch.
Natural Features and SceneryWindy Point serves as your gateway to the raw beauty of the White River National Forest, where jagged Rocky Mountain peaks pierce the sky and pristine alpine lakes mirror the heavens. From your campsite, watch as morning mist rises from hidden valleys while eagles soar on mountain thermals. The surrounding landscape offers an ever-changing canvas—from wildflower-studded meadows to dense evergreen forests where elk and deer roam freely. This spectacular setting provides endless opportunities for photography, wildlife watching, and simply soaking in the serene majesty of Colorado's high country.
Geological RegionNestled within the legendary White River National Forest, Windy Point sits at the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains—a geological wonderland millions of years in the making. Ancient forces carved the dramatic landscape surrounding your campsite, creating the craggy cliffs that catch alpenglow at sunset and the deep valleys that harbor crystalline alpine lakes. This rugged terrain tells the story of glaciers, uplift, and erosion, offering camping among some of North America's most spectacular mountain geology where every vista reveals the Earth's powerful creative forces.
