Stayed in a cabin here for one night instead of a motel. Didnt really come for camping, just a place to stay.Cabin was good for that. Has electricity and a heater. Pretty place to walk the dogs. Nice to be out of cell service for a while. Plenty of open space for getting a satellite if you really must send a text.

We stayed in the Aspen Loop. The campground and restroom facilities were very clean. Grounds crew had the grass mowed and looking great. Our camp hosts were amazing and very nice. 5 stars!!!!

Loved the area. Did not realize we did not have water when I booked but I found places where we would would choose to put our trailer with water.
@RhondaH4566775 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #23
Had a great time despite some hiccups, would and have recommend Willow Bay for a fantastic, peaceful getaway.

Really nice campground and beautiful area. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful.
@Christina41928 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #54
The sites are well maintained but most could use some gravel.
@annettes937108 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #59
We had a wonderful stay. It was great when making a reservation we were able to give our site preferences and a photo was shown.

Selfishly I don't want to share what a beautiful place this is because it is a hidden treasure.
@JasonB8429005 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #35
This is a great campground to just get away from it all. There is no cell service which is great to disconnect from everything. You can canoe, kayak and fish without leaving the campground. My only issues are the bathrooms need updated and people where playing music all night along and the campground host did nothing to stop them. We have stayed at willow bay before and at 10 : P.M. the campground host drove around and told everyone to shut off the music because it was quiet time. Other than that it was a great stay.

@DOREENB7997787 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #26
Nice campground! Grass sites, very spacious! Sites had electric, water was available on the loop. Dump Station . First full day we were there, ambulance and police arrived at the campground. Apparently, the campground host fell and dislocated her shoulder. The other hosts came over and took care of the campground. Wi-Fi is available at the booth. No cell service and no TV stations, but a few radio stations. We explored the campground. Kayaking ok, but you must have a permit. We also went into town to see the Zippo Lighter museum!

Beautiful place to stay, the ground was a bit rocky for the tent set up in our spot but we made it work. We saw many beautiful site that had lots of grass. I wish the pictures of each site were a bit better and showed the spot. The washrooms were clean, make sure you bring a light because there is none set up for when it's dark. It was very peaceful. We saw lots of fireflies but little wildlife. We would definitely stay there again.
@LoriR3532590 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #48
The campground is very nice. We especially like that the sites are large and grassy. The pads are raised helping with drainage. The bathrooms are clean and large. Our only complaint is the complete lack of cell service. It is difficult when we are unable to be reached at all by family members for our entire stay.
@AndrewJ9357777 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #1
Aspen loop is nice and normally quiet.
@AshleyS5221344 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #31
Stayed for a week, rented a cabin, which was nice. Close to the shower house. Seen lots of wildlife. Nice roads for biking.
@KeithS1904554 · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #64
Bathrooms need to be cleaned more often then 1 time a week .
@BruceZAA828122 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #28
Willow Bay is very relaxing. It is a short trip to Cuba Cheese in New York. The Zippo/Case store and museum is a must see. So much history. We enjoyed the camp site and being able to walk a large area. The camp host was very nice.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
