Heaton Bay Campground

This campground is laid out so that most sites are nicely spaced from any others. Ours, #11, was very large and had no site behind us. It was also right next to the clean vault toilet. Being so close to the town of Frisco was a huge bonus. Cell service was good, but, naturally no wi-fi. Very big rig friendly in the right sites. Camp hosts seemed to be on the ball and visible in case one needed their assistance. Our site was marked with our name and dates. Quiet, especially considering how close to town it is.

RVs over 13,000 lbs cannot cross the Dillon Dam, come in from the south on Dillon Dam Rd. No check in, reservation sign is on your post. No dump station or showers. Bike trail is right by the campground, it goes for 18 miles around the lake. Hike to Old Dillon Reservoir held wonderful views of the lake. Our site was very level. Loop C had the cleanest, non-smelly pit toilets we have seen. only Loop C has 50 amp and water hookups. There is a little vehicle noise from Dillon Dam Road.

If you are headed north on Rt 6, the nearest dump station is at the Blue River Wastewater facility about 7 miles away on Rt 6.

AT&T cell service was perfect 5 bars of 5G.

Writing this from the camp site so our stay isn’t finished. We arrived on a Sunday and will leave on Thursday. Very clean vault bathrooms which are cleaned twice a day. Staff seem very nice. Very convenient to the bike trail to Frisco, Dillion and Breckinridge. Views are awesome and for being close to I70 pretty quiet. Only complaint is that other campers in the area started their generators at 7 am. We were in site 13 but sites 21 & 22 are on the water and have great views. Overall a great campsite.

We got hot the campsite around 4pm on Thursday night and multiple sites were available. The area is very convenient as it’s just off interstate and on a well paved road. Each site is pretty private. When we were there the aspens have turned to fall colors. Last thing, the campground is closed to supermarket (Safeway) and there are many restaurants nearby. This is definitely a good place to spend multiple days or a good place for a stop over before starting the journey again in the morning.

This is a gem of a campground. This is a great compromise between complete boondocking and campground camping. We stayed in the E loop site 59. Secluded enough and there is the RecPath that takes you either to Dillion or Frisco within a few miles you can also take this path to vail and Breckenridge. We stayed for 2 nights and loved the amount of seclusion, activities coupled with the convenience of the city

This CG is well cared for and hosts are helpful and friendly. Propane was interesting to find…no one seems to man the ferallgas location so we got referred to Mountain Dirty Motor Sports at 160 6th. Street. They sell motor sports vehicles but this used to be a true value hardware store and these guys kept the propane service. If you need propane while in Dillon/Frisco this is your place! Two auto parts store in the area. Easy on and off I-70.

Great location just off I-70 with biking trails straight from the campground that connects with lakeshore loop, town of Frisco, and even on to Breckenridge. Fabulous views and flat level site. You can hear the highway noise, but that is expected knowing how close you are to highway. Typical late July monsoon season that had warm days and rain every night from 6-8pm. But that was expected. Just might want to keep your shade rolled in for the late afternoon if you’ll be away for an evening dinner. Camphosts friendly. Sites very clean. Loop C site 31 with water and electric (25&50amp). No nearby sewer without driving back in to Frisco so find alternate along your route on I-70.
