About Willow Lake

WIllow Lake Campground is located on the east shore of Willow Lake, at an elevation of 9,640 feet. The small lake sits in an alpine basin high on the Wasatch Plateau. Spruce, fir and aspen trees dot the open landscape, providing partial shade in the campground. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are plentiful, and autumn leaves put on quite a show in the surrounding area. This campground contains 10 single-family sites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Most sites have lake views, though none have direct lake access. A footpath leads to the shore from the campground, and another trail with easy fishing access leads all the way around the lake. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no water or garbage service. Roads and parking spurs are gravel. Visitor enjoy fishing, canoeing, wildlife viewing, mountain biking, and hiking to explore many of the surrounding trails. In winter, the area becomes a playground for snowobile enthusiasts.

Willow Lake offers a beautiful camping area with a nice cool lake and a great fire-ring, enhancing the overall experience. While the table's fixed position and the cattle guards may pose challenges, the site remains enjoyable. Many visitors express a desire to return in the future.

I stayed here 5 nights in a small camper trailer. It has a nice view and is a very peaceful, quiet setting.

The area was beautiful! It appeared as though there had been a fire in the last few years so there was an abundance of new plants and flowers, The lake was gorgeous and very clear! Can't wait to go back!

It was very nice and secluded. We really enjoyed the campground and had fun fishing, though we did not have any luck.

Always a great place for a big family get together. Only problem this year was that due to the heavy winter snows and late Spring the Lake had not yet been planted with fish. But we love the location.
