"The entire campground is basically two loops next to the water so pretty much every campsite has gorgeous view of the lake and the mountains. I visited in July of 2020 and it was beautiful."

$27 / night

"Willow Creek Campground is located on Lake Granby, six miles north of Granby, in north central Colorado. Great canoeing, kayaking, fishing and hiking."
"We spent that morning roaming around highway 14 near SFSP looking for moose - and found two!"
"Plenty of trees for privacy especially if you're on the lake side. Typical NFS vault toilets but clean. Dumpsters for trash."

"There are different types of sites, including some pull-offs for campers, some sites you could drive into off the road, and some with parking on the road and a small hike down to the site."
"The site we found was tucked back away from the road giving us nice privacy. We could barely see our neighbors from our campsite, but we could hear them."
"We found a great camping spot close to a hiking/biking trail. The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and the Columbine flower is scattered amount the wildflowers."
"there are a number if dispersed campsites on this road. they’re all lovely and pretty spaced out but if you’ve got a rowdy bunch in the spot next to yours you’ll definitely hear them. but the views here"
TravelerTerrible spot, def don’t come here during the summer! It’s not pretty at all on the creek or all the different spots deeper into the forest. There’s 0 room and it’s not beautiful at all when it’s sunny & gorgeous out. (Kidding, this place is a gem)
LegendI have a front wheel drive Promaster and it wasn’t impossible, but it didn’t give me the warm and fuzzies trying to get up there. A lot of private property and all just very scrunched. Hard to turn around. Don’t recommend it.
GuideWe're the type of travelers who intentionally seek out underrated places/hidden gems and lesser-visited spots, even in tourist hotspots. That's exactly why we loved Timber Creek CG. It's on the (much) quieter west end, near Grand Lake and a good distance from all of RMNP's most popular sites. In our opinion, that makes for a much nicer, more tranquil camping experience - and evidently the elk agree, because this campground is a hub of elk activity! The video I attached is from the campground just after sunrise, and we saw and heard tons of other elk as well. If you drive this end of Trail Ridge Road at dusk or dawn, you'll see loads of them too (stop and walk around and bit at some of the viewpoints/pullouts). They're supposed to be great for moose, too, but we personally didn't see any.
We stayed one night each in sites 50 and 17, and both were great. Facilities are basic but clean and sufficient, and fairly close to every site. This is a very popular national park, so while you won't have any real privacy, we did feel like the sites were positioned thoughtfully, so that everyone sort of faces a slightly different way. Highly recommend!
ScoutThe first couple of sites are close together, but if you drive further in, they space out more. Had a really good time camping close to the Colorado River. There was a porta potty there, which was very convenient. I was able to get a tiny bit of connection on my AT&T service.
ScoutBeautiful setting. Lake view. Mountain View. Good time.
GuideDue to tough road, the camping site was incredibly quiet. No services but plenty of space, Mountain View’s and locations near gurgling creek.
GuideSo worth the effort to travel the potholes to get to these sites. Almost no other campers mid week. Was cold at night but snow capped Mountain View’s and gurgling creek were beautiful. Later sites are better so worth heading up the road. No facilities so just be aware.
GuideLoved getting off the beaten path with our Bean Trailer. Perfect setting with views of snow capped mountains with a gurgling creek running next to camp. Some sites had cut wood, but no facilities to be prepared.
ScoutHad no problem getting up in a Subaru Forester, but very rutted out. Not recommended for trailers or sedans. Got in late and found a spot on a busy holiday weekend, it was forested with a good rock fire ring but some trash left over. Felt secluded enough but had hiking trails around. Saw a few other cars.
