About
Willows Campground offers a scenic riverside camping experience along the South Fork of the Ogden River at an elevation of 5,300 feet in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The campground features 17 sites arranged in a single loop through stands of willow and cottonwood trees, with some sites directly adjacent to the river. A heavy understory provides privacy between sites. The campground includes gravel roads and parking spurs, cement table pads, and fire rings at each site.
The South Fork of the Ogden River flows through the campground and is popular for fishing and tubing, though life jackets are required for all tubers. Causey Reservoir, a scenic mountain lake, is located just two miles east and provides additional fishing and water recreation opportunities. Hiking trails are accessible from the area. The campground is part of the South Fork Campground complex, which includes several other campgrounds along Highway 39.
The facility is operated by a concessionaire and includes an on-site camp host who sells firewood. The campground has vault toilets and potable water when open. Gates are locked nightly at 10:00 p.m. with a tire-ripper exit, and quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. A 7-day stay limit applies.
Directions
From I-15 in Ogden take the 12th Street exit and continue east through Ogden Canyon. Continue on Highway 39 toward Monte Cristo for approximately 5-7 miles east of Huntsville. The campgrounds in the South Fork complex are Magpie, Botts, South Fork, Perception Park, Upper and Lower Meadows, and Willows in order from west to east. Each site has signs.
