About
Willow Creek Group Campground offers a single reservable group site on the southern shore of Willow Creek Reservoir within the Arapaho National Recreation Area. Situated at 8,130 feet elevation approximately six miles northwest of Granby, the site can accommodate up to 20 people with tent camping only. Each site features tent pads, picnic tables, and fire grates, with vault toilets available. Willow Creek Reservoir is a 300-acre no-wake lake open to canoes, kayaks, and non-motorized boats. Anglers can fish for rainbow, brown, and brook trout. A boat ramp is located nearby. Numerous hiking and horseback riding trails are accessible within the recreation area, including the East Shore Trail (part of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail), Roaring Fork Trail, and Monarch Lake Trail. The campground has limited shade due to hazardous tree removal following mountain pine beetle infestation. Bear lockers are available at some sites. The west entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is just north of Grand Lake, offering additional recreation opportunities.
Directions
From the intersection of US Highways 40 and 34 in Granby, head north on Highway 34 for approximately 5 miles to the junction with County Road 40. Turn west and travel approximately 3 miles to the campground.
