About Willow Lake

WIllow Lake Campground is located on the east shore of Willow Lake, at an elevation of 9.6 ft. 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.

What Guests Are Saying

Willow Lake offers a lovely campsite with new fire pits and picnic tables, and the bathrooms are clean and well-stocked. Visitors enjoyed having the campground to themselves, despite the lake being low. However, it may not be ideal for tent camping, as it's better suited for camp trailers.

Beautiful area. The campsite fire-ring was great and the newly planted trees will make the site even better when they grow. The lake was nice and cool during the hot summer day. The table was difficult to use and could not be moved even slightly to fit my needs in the space with the way the paths were laid out in site one. The cattle guards at the entrance to the campsite were difficult for even large dogs to cross. Over all an enjoyable site, and will return if time permits.

This spot is not necessarily a tent friendly area. It is more for just a camp trailer

Campsite was lovely. The lake was low but still nice. We had the whole campground to ourselves! New fire pits and picnic tables. Bathroom was clean and well stocked with toilet paper.

Beautiful camp site, fairly quiet, with great views, small casual hike near the lake. Definitely planning on staying here again in the future.
