Willow Creek Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Willow Creek Resort sits along the banks of Willow Creek in Willow, Alaska, operating May through October as a full-hookup RV resort with pull-through sites accommodating rigs up to 50 feet. The location is convenient for campers using Anchorage as a day destination, and it draws a steady mix of families and anglers throughout the summer season. Sites are gravel, not grass, and positioned close together, which means noise from neighbors can carry.

Fishing draws a consistent crowd here. As Randy M. notes, "Willow Creek gets a good annual run of King, Silvers and Pink Salmon." Rafters also use the campground as a takeout point after floating downstream from upstream put-ins. The creek is directly accessible from the property, and several reviewers mention kids wading along the banks. A playground and laundry facilities round out the amenities, along with clean bathrooms and reliable toilet paper, according to multiple visitors.

Mosquitoes are heavy. Being on the river means insects are a consistent presence, especially in June, and campers report them getting inside vehicles and RVs in significant numbers. The resort is also positioned right off the Parks Highway, so road noise is a factor. Free WiFi, showers, and a dump station are on-site. Domestic rabbits roam the grounds, a detail that comes up in nearly every review. Pets are allowed, though leashes are recommended given the rabbit population.

Campers wanting a different setup nearby can consider Willow Creek State Rec Area to the south, or browse campgrounds near Willow for additional options in the area.

Nice & Clean RV park

We live in the Fairbanks area and stayed here 2 nights. We used this park as sort of our anchor point as we spent time in Anchorage for a birthday trip and shopping. We arrived late and called ahead to let them know. We were told a map with our name on it would be taped to the door with bathroom codes but they must have forgotten because it wasn't there when we arrived. Not a huge deal but a little disappointing. We found this park to be quite charming with the beautiful office area and tree covered path to the door and all of the adorable bunnies hopping around. Wish we could have spent more time at the actual park but we had other plans. The park was for the most part pretty empty but we had neighbors directly next to us and diagonally to us. Unfortunately, both sets of neighbors were up late into the night (1 a.m.) being loud and had loud barking dogs. It was unfortunate for quiet hours not to he observed especially because the sites are pretty close to each other but we weren't going to poopoo on anyone's party. The creek was nice and relaxing. We had full hookups and stayed in a pull thru spot. We would attempt to stay here again.

Great place for families

Family friendly place, staff is super friendly and helpful. I did not expect the place to be that good! Bathrooms and showers are clean and there’s always toilet paper👌🏻👌🏻 we went with some friends and our kiddos loved the playground and playing in the sand. The facilities have washers and dryers. Since it’s next to the river expect mosquitos so take something to kill them and repellent. Loved it👌🏻👌🏻♥️♥️ 10/10

Mosquito City

Campground was empty, check in was nice and staff was great. They have free wifi, showers, bathrooms and full hookup. Downsides is there’s no grass it’s just gravel. And the mosquitos were the worst we witnessed in all of Alaska. We couldn’t sit outside and there were 100s in our camper by the time we left. Just a negative of being on the river.

Very nice

This campground is popular with rafters and fishermen who like to drive upstream and float back to the campground. Willow Creek gets a good annual run of King, Silvers and Pink Salmon...with the occasional Chum. Rainbow and Dolly Vardon are especially good in the fall. Kids loved the domestic bunnies, which populate the campground.

River Side

Nice clean campground on the river. Easy access to the river for the kids and fishing. Bathrooms were clean. Has full hook-ups, and a dump station on site if you don’t get a full hook-up. Only negative is it’s right off the Parks HWY. Basic playground for kids and a lot of tame bunnies for them to watch.
