Willow Creek State Recreational Area — Hotel in Alaska

Campground is pretty minimal. All the sites are right off the parking lot and pretty small. Each site has one parking spot in the lot and a fire ring and picnic table. Plenty of bathrooms with vault toilets which were clean. Water hand pumps scattered throughout. Was pretty loud at night but mostly because everyone was in the same general area, no woods in between sites. Fishing areas are good and not a very long walk from the camp sites. Plenty of salmon to be caught. $15 per night and the checkout time is noon, they did come around and check. Good for a fishing camp, but I don't think I'd stay...

It was a nice recreational area for camping and fishing. Make sure you bring you cash because it is a recreational spot that charges even if you just parking. Some people park up the road before the toll shack but it's a bit if a walk if your that committed to not paying for parking. I didn't camp there but from what I could tell the RV spots looked nice. During tourist season if you dont mind casting elbow to elbow this might be the spot for you. I suggest getting a pair of chest waiters and getting to those prime locations you just cant get...

Really nice land to relax and enjoy the terrain and wildlife. I would give it five stars if there wasn't trash thrown about as you hike around. It wasn't an egregious amount, but enough to notice and negative impact on the beautiful landscape. There were bathroom facilities and plenty of parking...
