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.

We chose Heaton Bay over other nearby campgrounds because it had electric. In retrospect, I wish I would have reserved a different campground not so close to the Highway. It has road noise from both I-70 and Dillon Dam Road. However it is clean and the campground host was friendly. The pit toilets were very clean.

The campgrounds hosts were helpful as always and the reservation went smoothly. However, the condition of the campground is deteriorating, at least on loop B, and items need to be addressed. The driveway on our campsite was dangerous both to park in and walk in due to the asphalt falling apart. We have had this situation more than once on this loop. Maintenance and repair is long overdue.

One of the best camping sites in all of Colorado, especially in "C" Loop. Please upgrade the B, D, & E Loop sites with Electric/Water to really make Heaton Bay SUPER!!

Great location that's convenient to all the local sites, secluded camp sites, very close reservoir access and close to the bike path. Love it here!

The bathrooms were clean, the campsites spaced well and taken care of. The spot we chose was pretty shaded and right up on the water!

We had a 8 person text, a pop up canopy and plenty of room to move around with our 2 kids and dog.

The staff that was driving around was extremely sweet and even gave us some firewood at no charge. We will definitely make this a yearly destination!
