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.

Number of accommodations: 84

Nice facility and hosts. The $5 daily charge for a second vehicle seems unreasonable.

This is such a gorgeous campsite. We went in late September and the aspens were in full color change and dot your drive to the campsite and then are sprinkled throughout the campsite as well. Beautiful view of the reservoir and nice tent pad site. Water spigot and restroom facility close to all campsites. We recommend the Herman Gulch trail near the area (about a 10-15 minute drive away). Would absolutely camp here again.

Our camp spot was Great and we have stayed at this camp ground several times. We reserved 2 camp spots and our guests where un able to go do to a family emergency. When i asked the camp host about a refund he told me there was nothing he could do. Hours later the camp host re-sold the spot so the camp ground made double for those days. Does not seem that was very ethical.

Very difficult to find the correct entrance if camping with a trailer. Got stuck on a dam, held up traffic, had to get turned around, go back. Not good.
Camp spaces face the wrong direction if taking the road into the campground and needing to back in. Camp host had to tell us to go against the traffic sign to back in. Not good.
