Willow Creek Campground is a Forest Service site in the Lakeview Ranger District of the Fremont-Winema National Forest, about an hour southeast of Lakeview, Oregon. It sits on the banks of Willow Creek in a stand of ponderosa pine and aspen, offering secluded tent and trailer sites with picnic tables, fire rings and two vault toilets. There is no potable water onsite, so visitors must bring their own. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 86°F with lows near 51°F and only about three wet days, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. No fees are required to stay here. The closest neighbors are Old Deep Creek Trail, about 2.6 miles away, and Deep Creek Forest Camp, about 2.7 miles away. Twin Springs Campground is about 4.7 miles off, and Cave Lake Campground, across the California line, is about 7.7 miles away.
