Accessible by paved road through Cache National Forest, Willow Flat Campground accommodates RVs up to 75 feet with sites ranging from $20-120 per night. The Forest Service facility operates May through September with drinking water, vault toilets, and trash service throughout the developed campground.
A creek runs directly through the property, providing both ambient sound and fishing opportunities. Multiple campers note the water's proximity to sites, with some positioned within 10 feet of the creek bank. The flowing water creates natural noise buffering between sites despite their relatively close spacing. Dense tree cover provides shade across most of the campground, though dust can become an issue during the drier months of July and August.
Site 53 receives particular praise for its back-of-campground location and large fire pit. "Trail for hiking right there and the cleanest bathrooms," notes Beth B.. The creek supports a healthy trout population, and hiking trails lead directly from the campground toward area headwaters. Some sites fill quickly Thursday through Sunday with advance reservations, while weekday availability remains more flexible.
The campground works well for families interested in creek fishing and hikers seeking forest trail access. Campers can also explore campgrounds near Bloomington for additional options in the region.

The Cub River provides great fishing for wild cutthroat and hatchery rainbow trout. Numerous trails begin within the campground, including a 1/2-mile nature trail to Sam Parkinson Spring. The multi-use Cub River Trail also begins at the campground, offering great hiking, mountain and dirt biking, as well as off-road vehicle and horseback riding. The trail accesses the Highline Trail, the North Fork of St. Charles Creek and the Cub River Guard Station.

This large campground contains six group campsites than can accommodate 24 to 100 people. Numerous single-family campsites are available at the campground as well. Some single and group sites have picnic shelters. A few single sites must be accessed via footbridges over the river from the parking spur. Amenities available at the campground include vault toilets and drinking water. An amphitheater with bleacher seating and a cement platform is located at group site G03. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are gravel.
Natural Features
