About Heaton Bay

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.

Site was fair. Uneven and small. There are better one within the campground.

The kayaking and bike-riding were good. We had good access to water put-ins in Loop E and Loop B. We rode our bikes from the campground twice to the marina to have lunch outside. Very enjoyable. We noticed at the marina that they rent pedal kayaks which we will try next time. Those who tried this new experience said it was a lot of fun.

The sites are large and scenic. Ours was not very level, but used a lot of levelers to fix that issue. the bathrooms were exceptionally clean and unsmelly. It was great having the bike path next to the campground. Our only complaint is too many barking dogs - very inconvenient when trying to nap or read.

Great views of the Rockies and Dillon Resevoir. 5 minutes from downtown Frisco, Colorado. We took the 20 minute drive to Breckenridge for dinner one night. From camping to fine dinning in minutes. Though basic, backing in is easy. the pavement can be narrow at some sites so a separate "booster step" is quite useful. I think all sites are available to rigs 25 ft or shorter

We had a brief visit from a relative during the evening of our stay. The host required him to pay $7.00 for this. It may be the rules, but it was a ridiculous requirement.
