About Heaton Bay

Heaton Bay Campground is situated at an elevation of 9 ft 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.

Had a great stay at Heaton Bay! Love having the Summit bike path right there, we did two different bike rides leaving from our site.
It's so nice to have 4 towns within a short drive of the campground. Tons of dining and shopping options are 15 min. away. Watching the changing light and shadows on the mountains at sunset was incredible! We have been visiting Heaton Bay for 20 years, tent camping at
first, now in a travel trailer. We will keep coming back!

We stayed at C40 and C41 (unable to book a site with power and water for three consecutive nights). C40 was the better site as it had excellent views of the mountains! Make sure you follow your GPS coming in as there are no signs other than a very small camping sign that is not labeled. They really should put the Heaton Bay sign by the entrance and not as your already in the park. Also, there is no sewer and more importantly No Dump Station! We had to drive to Breckinridge which is about 10 mi out of our way to dump. It cost $10 to dump there. Make sure you plan ahead. Overall we loved the campground. Great privacy and quiet.

Sad seeing the lake in the state its in. Normally a waterfront campsite, no water to be seen. Still enjoy our annual camping trip to heaton bay. Bathrooms seemed less clean than usual, still very clean compared to others. Lots of things to do in the area, which is why we keep coming back for more.

Heaton Bay was close to Dillon for shopping and restaurans. It is close for hiking and off road in the Breckenridge area. The camp ground was clean and bathrooms were clean. Over all a very nice location.
