These are campsites requiring a Campfire Permit for any fire
including stoves, but unlike most this does have a pit
toilet.The turnoff
sign for Willow Lake has been painted camouflage to make it
less visible, so one may think something really nice is up
here, and you would be correct.
Willow Lake is gorgeous, and
its adjoining wetlands are full of birds. Lots of
red-winged blackbirds, and sometimes even sandhill cranes.
The campsites are in deep red
fir forest, but next to open meadow and lake views.
There is a really nice hike-in campsite a half mile in
on the trail to Terminal Geyser.
Spring water is available at the
end of
a short trail downstream from the lake.
