About

Willows Campground occupies the northernmost point of Green Mountain Reservoir in Colorado's White River National Forest. The 21 standard sites accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs on a first-come-first-served basis early in the season, with reservations available through Recreation.gov during peak periods. The reservoir supports rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon fishing, along with motorized and non-motorized boating, jet skiing, water skiing, and swimming. The campground provides vault toilets and bear-proof trash receptacles but no potable water. All food, beverages, and scented items must be stored properly due to bear activity. Motorized watercraft must be inspected for Aquatic Nuisance Species at Heeney Marina before launching. Site access can be difficult when the road is wet. The surrounding White River National Forest encompasses 2.3 million acres with eight wilderness areas and ten peaks over 14,000 feet. Spring Creek to the north offers off-road vehicle trails through lodgepole pine and spruce/fir forests with mountain viewpoints.
