Willow Creek campground is located along the sandy banks of the Russian River. It offers a beautiful sandy beach like terrain along the edges of the river, and unmatched river views. The weather around Willow Creek is refuge for those who are seeking to escape California's summer heat. It is often cool and breezy along the this river bank because it is near California's coast line. Around the campground there are tiny streams that add life and beauty to everything that grows around it.

Willow Creek Campground is equipped with picnic tables, garbage, and restroom services. Although there is water available, it is not potable. The water will need to be boiled before it can be consumed.  There are a few fees that should be noted before going to the campsite. It cost $12 per campsite, and it is on a first come first serve basis. Willow Creek Campground has a shallow and sandy spot to launch kayaks, canoes, and tubes. It is a great location for children and adults as there are shallow and deep spots within the river. The Russian River itself empties into the Pacific. Because it is connected so closely to the ocean, at certain times during the year the area can be closed off due to high tides. These tides have a sneaky way of reaching into the creek and can cause some trouble.

The campground is a wonderful option to enjoy Willow Creek Beach a little longer. There are a few fees that include a $10 vehicle fee, and a park pass. These are very little fees however for the amazing amenities the camp offers. You can find beach access, beachcombing, creek access, day use area, parking area, self-pay station, surfing, trash collection, vault toilets, and wildlife viewing.
