This was our second time at this lovely campground. We chose a spot along the bay, which ended up being perfect. The hosts were helpful, and friendly. The facilities are all in good condition and kept up. We drove up from Pittsburgh, which is a bit too far for a regular visit. If we were an hour closer, we’d probably be there once a month!

Willow Bay has been our first destination of the year since we started camping. It's a nice quiet place and great scenery. the camp hosts are always very helpful and friendly.
the only thing i would change is the dead trees at the sites that overhang the camper. it is an accident waiting to happen especially in site 29 and adjoining sites. the site was amazing except for that problem.

We made reservations ahead of time for a cabin so all we had do was go to our cabin the pass for your car mirror and the key where on the counter. The cabin was very clean and quite comfortable was in the low thirties at night the electric heater kept it nice and warm. Only bad thing was the showers and restrooms where closed because or the cold weather no where to go to the bathroom for miles. Should have had a port-a-john set up.
