Site B21 is very nice, with trees on both sides so neighbors don't seem so close. It is a short walk to the reservoir for kayaks and paddle boards, with great views of the mountains to the east. The bike trail is nearby with access to Frisco and Dillon.
The bathrooms are across the road but had no odor. However, one of the two toilets was locked which meant a waiting line in the morning hours. Not sure why the one was locked. Never able to ask the campground host because we were gone most of the time. Otherwise, all was quiet except for the traffic on I-70, a given at Heaton Bay campground.

We stayed at the campground for 2 nights and had a great time! The campsite was clean and very spacious. It was nice to have the bear box on site too. We got up for sunrise both mornings and the lake was really beautiful. We hope to come back sometime!

Double wide site, so easy for 2 vehicles to park there. Unfortunately day trippers thought it was a good place to park too! Site offered no view and no afternoon sun. Very nice to have bear boxes at all the sites.

Pros: What a great area. Weather is nice and cool. Bike paths. Central location. A fantastic place to be.
Cons: Seems to me that these sites are getting no maintenance. Sites are old, benches not in good shape, not very level. And this year no water fill up within miles of the campground. It is going downhill pretty fast, Primitive camping is now very primitive.
