Heyburn Lake

Sunset Bay is a really peaceful campsite. It says 4 tents only, but you can park your RV there. There is no electric but I did see 2 water spickets. There is one pit toilet building. There is a big parking lot for the boat ramp. I was there for 4 nights in October. I was the only one camping in this area. I had camped on the other side where there is electric and flush toilets two weeks prior to my stay at Sunset Bay. I had a conversation with the people that that oversee the bigger campsite about their thoughts about staying at Sunset Bay. They stated that they maintain Sunset Bay and that the Rangers drive through periodically through the day. They did warn me that after the Rangers go off Duty that there's a possibility that teenagers will come and party in this area. And that if I had any problems, I needed to call the county sheriff's department. I had no problems, the 4 nights I stayed there.

Nice campground, directly on the lake

We were camped on site #42. The water pole needs some attention. It has been at a 45 degree angle for quite awhile. Also, the 30 amp was dead but we had a "dog bone" Adapter to plug into the 50 amp. As part of the campers in the group shelter, it would be helpful for the gate to have a wheel so it can be closed to prevent drivers from accidently driving around the shelter while they hunt for their spots. That happens a lot because the group shelter sign is tiny and way past the entrance to the group shelter loop.

We've always enjoyed Heyburn Park. My family has been going there for all of my life. The people currently running the park do a fantastic job at keeping the campground mowed and the bathrooms clean.

The park, beach, and bathrooms were nice and clean, and traffic was respectful of the posted speed limit the majority of the time. Hot weekend, but the weather turned cooler Monday and we got to do a lot of relaxing and enjoying the outside! Grandkids even caught a couple small catfish from the dock!

Tent campers was allowed to park in the next camping space over from me. Their music was extremely loud. And they had extremely bright lights shining right in my camp area all night long not a pleasant experience. Mosquito there.
