Heaton Bay Campground is highly praised for its friendly hosts, clean facilities, and beautiful surroundings, making it a great spot for camping, hiking, and biking. While some visitors noted the low water levels and lack of a dump station as drawbacks, the campground's well-maintained sites and proximity to Dillon and Frisco for shopping and dining were appreciated. Overall, campers enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and scenic views, with many expressing a desire to return despite minor inconveniences.

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.
stayed 2 different times in 2024 in loop B

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.
