Located within the main restroom facility they have laundry and vending machines loaded with snacks and caffeine. The vending machines and ice machine all take cards and cash. The restrooms are cleaned constantly and the staff are all so pleasant! Panorama Point is located just up the hill with stunning views of the surrounding mountains! There is an office on the right when you enter the campground which is where you buy bundles of wood for $5 each. For a nice size fire that lasts approximately 4-5 hours you'll need to bundles.

They sell firewood at visitor center for $5, credit card accepted. The elevation is roughly around 10,000 feet so pack extra water and clothes. Basic tent sites start at $30 and Cabins and Yurts start at $80. A little pricy for camping but the hiking trails and the proximity to Denver is worth it to me. Also if you have AT&T the LTE works for those with phone anxiety. Reserve online early most sites are booked months in advance.

The views coming up here were absolutely stunning. I told my daughter that this was a campground in the sky lol! So far up in the beautiful mountains and where the temperature was much cooler. We choose KOA bc they are easy to book, have a late check in and some nice amenities. This one had two hot tubs, a dog park , pancakes all you can eat for $3.25 and a pizza and wing place. We don't use most of the amenities bc we never stay long enough. But the dog park-Freckles love them and can run around in a safe and clean environment! Each KOA is so different. This one has the feel of a Rocky Mountain with rocks and gravel roads. Our site was very nice with full hook ups and a cement place to park. We would highly recommend this KOA!

The site are meticulously maintained. The staff is exceptional (special shout outs to Chuck, the owner; Reagan in the kitchen; and Bethany, who was always kind). The campgrounds is perfectly situated in the midst of a bunch of mountain towns (Idaho Springs, Central City, Black Hawk, Georgetown) , so there a ton to do in the vicinity. Know what you're getting: this is a hotel for which you provide your own roof; calling it a campgrounds is only slightly accurate. KOAs are really designed for folks who like the idea of camping, but don't want to camp. You'll get a fire pit, and some excellent, super dry firewood that makes for a really easy start, and you'll have a fully stocked convenience store steps away from your very clean campsite. What's more, the bathrooms are better than most hotel bathrooms! They're clean, with plenty of hot water, and the staff check them several times a day. The service is excellent, the location is perfect, and the staff is seriously unparalleled! Well done Denver West for restoring our faith in the KOA brand!

This is literally one of those reviews that I've hesitated to write. I just don't want to share…read moresuch a great place! Though after much consideration, I suppose I might as well be the one to share it with all my Yelp friends! Star #1: It is a first come, first serve, FREE campground. There is a paid campground nearby as well, so don't fret if you arrive and there are no sites available. However, it is such a hidden gem that I have yet to have the need for that. Star #2: Many of the sites are adjacent small streams, so you'll get to fall asleep to the sounds of babbling brooks! There are a few that are more open and offer lots of space for activities and larger groups too - bags anyone?! We tend to prefer the ones that are tucked up against the mountain. Star #3: The variety of sites makes it a great place for any type of camping: tents, camper, car, etc! Though, I will say, an RV might be pushing it... Star #4: At approximately and hour and a half from Denver, this campground is ideal for those looking for a close and quick mountain getaway without committing to hours in the car. Star #5: If you are like many campers and want to get some shooting in while you embrace your inner woods-person. Sugarloaf has got you covered! There is a wide open area right when you turn up the main road that is prepped for all your shooting needs. So go ahead and fire off a few rounds. Just don't forget: safety first! After camping a handful of places in Colorado Sugarloaf Campground has been on of my favorites and on of the only ones I have been back to multiples times!

July 24, 2026 - Silverthorne, CO…read more We first stayed at Heaton Bay Campground about seven years ago, so we were looking forward to camping right along the water again. Unfortunately, because of the severe drought and low winter snowpack, Dillon Reservoir is currently about 20 feet below its normal level. Our campsite was no longer waterfront, but we had a short hike down to what is now more like a small pond. There are a few more drawbacks, too. There isn't a nearby dump station or an RV water fill, although there are water spigots for filling jugs. Campfires were prohibited during our stay because of the high fire danger, and you can hear some traffic noise from the nearby highway. Even with those disappointments, I still give this campground five stars. Why? Because, the campsites themselves are outstanding. They're spacious, private, and thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of room between sites. The views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely spectacular, and the campground has a peaceful, wooded setting that's hard to beat. If you're looking for a scenic campground with large sites and don't mind the lack of full amenities, Heaton Bay is an excellent choice. We'd happily stay here again.

Our fellow campers were kind enough to rescue our tents and pin them down with rocks while we were out hiking (thank you, kind humans!). Our whole experience here was wonderful, and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. The RV spots to be fair (as other reviewers mention) were more lackluster.
