What Guests Are Saying

Lower Billy Creek offers a serene camping experience with clean facilities, beautiful lake views, and helpful camp hosts. The campground is well-maintained, with easy access to fishing, canoeing, and hiking activities, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts. However, some sites lack shade due to tree removal, so bringing canopies is recommended for hot days.

Always have a great time at Huntington Lake. This is my first camping experience at Billy Creek, I have usually camped on the other end of the lake. Wow, I was impressed, our site was within great view of the lake and a short walk to the shore. It was very quiet, felt like we were at a private part of the lake. I will return

My son, daughter and their families stayed in Lower Billy while my wife and I stayed in Upper Billy...away from the chaos. They enjoyed their stay and found the site perfect for their large group. It had a large area that would accommodate several tents. The only downside was that the footpath that travels along side the lake, follows a route directly next to the main camp area. Oh well...it's camping. My daughter said she'd stay there again if it became available next year.

Beautiful view! Campsite was clean, but a little too close to neighboring site.

We have stayed at Lower Billy Creek now for the past few summers after a lifetime of staying at Upper Billy Creek prior to its closure for renovations. Nothing beats the relaxed atmosphere of a smaller campground right on the shore on the quiet end of the lake (west end). The camp hosts have always been great, bathrooms are extremely well kept and the neighbors have been mostly great (after a reminder of the noise curfew, we have young kids). The small Marina/ Restaurant is a short walk along the lake and/or road and if launching from the campsite a picnic on the island is only a few minutes away in canoe/kayak. Lots of good day trip activities within the area as well if you are into fishing or hiking or just want to take a dip in the lake! We stay with family and recommend the double sites at Lower Billy Creek 007 and 009 but bring some canopies for shade as there are not as many trees to provide coverage on a hot summers day as there used to be! We'll be back next year!

What a gorgeous, great campground! We had a lovely weekend here. You cannot beat these lakefront campsites. The grounds hosts, Mary and Tony, were amazing: so kind and helpful! Clean facilities. Site 5 was a bit small but we managed just fine!

We stay a this campground every year and even try to stay in the same site if it is available.
We love the access to the lake and the view is wonderful. However this year the area surrounding each campground and the trails down to the water were not maintained. Everything seems to be overgrown.

Really nice campground, well maintained, and small enough to book with a group if you book early enough. Camped with friends and we had 8/10 campsites in the campground. Everyone had a great time, kids were able to ride their bikes in the loop with ease. Campsite 7 is nice and large, but there is minimal shade with no trees. Bring a canopy or awning to help keep you out of the sun during the day. Bathrooms well maintained, and the campground managers drive through multiple times a day to make sure you don't need anything. Water was nice and cold to refresh in during the warmer parts of the day, and with a wide open view of the lake, campfires at night watching the alpenglow on the mountain across the lake was great.

The site was nice but getting into it was terrible. There is a useless guard rail that should be removed. It really limits the parking ability to the site. Over the years, several people have damaged their vehicle getting into the site because of the guard rail that is a left over from a time when it was needed.
