Heaton Bay Campground on Dillon Reservoir

2005 OPERATING SEASON 5/27 - 10/09

Located between Frisco and Dillon on the Dillon Dam Road, the Heaton Bay Campground has 72 camping sites, vault toilets, water and garbage services, paved roads and a stay limit of 10 days.  Within the Heaton Bay Campground boundary is the separate Heaton Bay Day Use Area which has 5 picnic tables and a vault toilet.  Just outside the boundary of Heaton Bay Campground is the Giberson Bay Day Use Area which has 4 picnic tables, a vault toilet, 2 improved fishing pad sites along with shoreline access for the fishing public.  Both Giberson Bay and Heaton Bay Day Use Areas require a $7 use fee which is paid on-site.  The Heaton Bay Campground sits at an elevation of 9,044 feet.  Reservation sites are found on the B (16 sites) and D (24) loops.  Starting on July 1, 2005, Loop E became available on a First-Come, First-Serve basis, with 15 sites.  Loop E has electrical hook-ups, but no water hook-ups.  Camping fees on Loop E are $14 per site plus $5 for the electrical hook-up (you must pay for the electric service even if you don't want to use it).  Sites on Loop E will eventually become reservation sites around the beginning of August, 2005.  The only loop on a First-Come, First-Serve basis is Loop A with 9 sites.  Loop C is still under construction and will not be available for the 2005 season.  Non-electric camping fees are $14.00 per night (these fees are subject to change).  All campsites are allowed 10 people and 2 vehicles only, with a maximum vehicle length of 50 feet.  An extra vehicle fee of $5.00 will be charged for vehicles above the 2 vehicle limit.  Golden Age and Golden Access passes are accepted at Heaton Bay Campground for a discount on the camping fees only, not for the electric hook-up.  The Dillon Ranger District DOES NOT make reservations, you must call ReserveUSA at 877.444.6777 (mention it is in the White River National Forest) or use the link below to make reservations online.  To view the Dillon Ranger District Campground Regulations please click HERE.
