Willow Creek Campground is the best kept secret in northern California. This small campground (8 sites) is easy to find, easy to navigate in and out with small trailers and motor homes and never full. A tiny creek runs between the campground and the day use picnic area. Lots of shade trees muffle the sounds of the highway.
Water system is non-potable and posted BOIL USE ONLY.
The Willow Creek Campground offers secluded tent and trailer sites in a large ponderosa pine and aspen setting. The campsites are located on the banks of Willow Creek.
Willow Creek Campground is located one hour 5 minutes southeast of Lakeview, OR. From lakeview, OR take Oregon Highway 395 north toward Paisley, OR to Highway 140. Turn right on Hwy 140 heading east.

I was really impressed with the park. It was really clean. The fire pits were well put together. There was a problem with the bathroom.
Stopped here for the night when we were passing thru. Pretty quiet except for the occasional car that would zoom by on 139. We were the only campers there. There's a picnic table and concrete fire pit and grille at each site.
Very beautiful place to check out . Luv the small creek that flows thru there . Stopped by on the way from Reno Nevada to Portland Oregon .
A great place for an overnight stay while passing through. There's only 8 spaces, all back-in, but it was not full while we were there in August. I have separately photographed each space. We could fit our roughly 52-foot set up into a space without unhooking. Easy turn-around loop at the end.
Accommodations: pit toilets, non-potable water here and there, and bridges to nowhere. Plenty of shade. Highway noise is apparent only when a the occasional vehicle is driving by.
