Awesome campground and location. Bike ride away from Frisco and Silverthorne. Kajak and paddle boarder enthusiasts have access to lake. Gorgeous views!!

This was our first time at Heaton Bay and we weren't wise to how to pick a site in advance or realized that our site was really best set up for a camper and not a tent. However, we were still able to locate a good location for our tent and the drive-through ended up being really nice for our truck. The campground itself is massive but spread out enough that you don't feel on top of all the other campers. You're not really close to any other amenities so a vehicle is a must and part of the campground is right on the water. The real reason for my review is what it is though is the Campground Host. We ran into vehicle problems which left us stranded and our campground host was in constant contact with us about our particular site being free for an extra day if we needed it as well as being able to pack up a little late if needed. It really helped us keep our calm in the eye of an emotional storm. Thankfully everything worked out. We are already making plans to come back in 2020.

We make this a stop on our annual pilgrimage around the state. The sites are spacious and nice, the grounds are well maintained, and the views can't be beat.

Coming to Colorado for a sport; kayaking, fishing, sailing, hiking, camping, shopping, and "cycling", this is the place. I can of only one con and that is hearing some freeway noise at night.

We had a great site, the bathrooms are the cleanest we have seen. The sites were nice trees or shrubs. We plan on going 2020 also

The camp site is very spacious with trees that provided some quite and privacy. The restroom is very clean. We will stay here again next summer for the Bravo Vail Summer Concerts.
