About
Willow Creek Campground is a small, primitive camping area in Sawtooth National Forest, situated in a forested setting near the South Fork Boise River drainage. The campground underwent renovation in 2021, receiving new vault toilets, site furniture, and an improved layout. With just 6 campsites, the area offers a quiet, uncrowded camping experience for those seeking solitude in the Idaho backcountry. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. A vault toilet is available, but no potable water is provided, so campers must bring their own drinking water. The campground is first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Pets are allowed but must remain leashed. The campground serves as a convenient base for exploring the Willow Creek Trail (Trail #019), a 10.6-mile route popular with motorized two-wheeled vehicles. The trailhead is located approximately 3/4 mile north at Willow Creek Transfer Camp. The area offers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing in the surrounding Sawtooth National Forest.
