About Windy Point Campground


Located along the shores of Dillon Reservoir, just outside of downtown Breckenridge, Windy Point Campground is one of Summit County’s most popular spots for weddings and elopements. Surrounded by tall pines and with stunning water and mountain views, it offers the perfect mix of natural beauty and easy access. Here are a few reasons to consider Windy Point Campground for your wedding venue:



Accessible, scenic views:

There are two ceremony locations to choose from with scenic views of the surrounding forest, lake and mountain ranges. Both locations are easy to access (a short walk from the parking lot)- no hiking required! PLUS it’s only a 2 hour drive from the Denver Airport.


You can invite up to 100 guests:

If you’re planning a ceremony with more than ~15 guests, you’re going to need to reserve a location like this. Windy Point is suitable for weddings with up to 100 people (though we’d suggest 50 maximum).


Affordable & simple to book:

Windy Point Campground is one of the most affordable small wedding venues in Colorado, and it’s easy to book. It’s not a competitive reservation to secure and it can all be done online. It offer's group picnic shelters, picnic tables, fire pits, and accessible restrooms, making it a practical yet scenic choice for couples who want a laid-back, outdoor wedding.

A Rainy Summer Ceremony

For this couple, the weather was part of the story. The rain didn’t take away from their day—it elevated it.

The couple exchanged vows overlooking the water, proving that sometimes the most memorable weddings are the ones where you embrace the unexpected.

A Downtown Breckenridge Celebration at The Tavern


After the ceremony, the couple and their guests made their way into downtown Breckenridge to celebrate at The Tavern at Breckenridge Brewery & Pub. This local favorite is known for its cozy atmosphere, craft brews, and hearty Colorado-inspired menu—perfect for warming up after a rainy outdoor ceremony.

The Tavern offered the couple a relaxed, fun space to gather with friends and family, complete with mountain-town charm. Guests enjoyed dinner, drinks, and toasts while overlooking Breckenridge’s historic Main Street, blending the magic of a mountain wedding with the comfort of a lively reception spot.
