About Heaton Bay

Heaton Bay Campground is situated at an elevation of 9,000 feet and centrally located for recreation and relaxation in the White River National Forest. 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

The asphalt on some of the pads needs improvement's.
Some spots need updating as most campers have the door on the passenger side and some spots just don’t support that very well. ( failing surface to 1-2’ drop)
No water to fill your tanks, no dump stations.
( so there is a water and dump facility but it serves 5 campgrounds and is 15+ min away) so waiting is mandatory

We stayed at site 7 in a tent and it was ok. It felt secluded, which was nice and an easy, quick walk to the vault toilet. However, there was not much shade and the mosquitoes were pretty bad. The only way to access the water is through campsite 1 or 2! Make sure to bring a shade tent (or two!) and insect repellent!

This site has a nice shady area for a tent. There is a trail to water next to the site so there will be folks walking by with paddle boards and such. The angle of the driveway and the one way makes it very difficult to back a trailer in.

The campground itself is nice, good views and great lake access. Close to town. Facilities were clean. The campground managers weren't keeping up with posting which sites were reserved and which were open though. We arrived one night and someone was camping at our site because they'd been told it was available, despite the reservation we'd had for months through recreation.gov. We were able to sort it out between ourselves but that kind of situation could have been easily avoided had the campground manager paid more attention.

We love Heaton Bay. This year the wildflowers were spectacular. Kayaking was perfect, days on the lake were idyllic. Heaton Bay is my happy place.
