About Heaton Bay

There is little or no shade in the campground due to pine beetle infestation and the removal of hazard trees, but the sites offer open views to Dillon Reservoir and several mountain ranges.

PERFECT location, we spent a day paddling and then did an excellent hike. Campground hosts were fun and friendly, easy access to firewood, great views and simple access. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful scenery. The site was close to the city, but was still quiet. The ground was very dusty and all our gear and clothing was covered in dust. Very close walk to the reservoir with great views and trails. Plenty of water stations nearby to refill our supply. The vault toilets were pretty clean, for vault toilets.

Very close to the parking lot. However the available area for tents is all slanted so there aren't very many places to set up a tent comfortably. Very close to a water refill station. Short walk to the reservoir where there are decent views of the mountains and places to fish. This camping area is very close to the city so you can resupply or visit the city for shopping or entertainment.

Beautiful campsite in the Rockies! Loop B 14 was a great spot for our RV. No hookups, but it felt very private. My family had a lot of fun walking and biking on the path that goes around Dillon Bay. We’d love to come back here one day!

This is a beautiful campground, great access to A wonderful bike path, a beautiful lake, and really really nice people. Both Frisco and Dylan are charming in their own ways. We found plenty of convenience is nearby and Simply loved all the views. We were lucky enough to be here for the Osprey baby fledging and the great blue heron’s baby fledging. The bald eagles on sentinel island we’re gone by the time we arrived but next time! Don’t miss this beautiful place the mountains are amazing. So much to do from eating out to Hiking to biking to paddling. So many children at the campground it was fun to hear them laughing and enjoying the outdoors during this weird Covid time.

We had a great time at Heaton Bay, its a beautifully kept campground...just wish it had been a little easier finding the hosts for firewood, I walked all over the place before another camper gave me some direction. Overall, awesome experience

The camp hosts are fantastic - friendly, available, great communication and the toilets were spotless. This campground is located right off of I-70 and you do hear freeway traffic at night (which shouldn't be a surprise). The views are beautiful and the location next to I-70 also makes it very convenient to access.
