For Willow Bay Recreation Area: Easy to find, when we pulled in the place was packed! Each RV spot was filled with an RV plus as many cars and trucks as would fit along with multiple tents at each site. We went to turn info our spot and found kids clothing lining the RV spot to dry.
I locked eyes with my husband and thought “crap, what have we doneâ€
Come to find out there was a baseball tournament all weekend that was a fundraiser for a young local boy that had passed. My heart melted. Everyone was so kind, even apologizing for the chaos. As their last game ended it was like a tornado came in, EXCEPT this tornado came thru the RV park packing things up and cleaning the campsite. They all pulled out and we had the place to ourselves. The manager came over and apologized(not necessary) and informed us that what we see now is the norm. Gorgeous lake views, level spots, hook ups worked great. We were shaded most of the day, most spots have some shade; look at google maps.
The water was too warm to fish but there is a well paved trail around the area that we walked the dogs on and road E bikes. A lot of grassy areas to play with the dogs or throw the football with the boys.
We never used their facilities.
The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the holes in the lawn, not critter holes just holes. One was big enough that my giant old English sheepadoodle kept sticking her head in looking like she was searching for something tasty. Anyway, they were a little hazardous
Mosquitoss and flies were horrible but you are at a lake in August so what do you expect. There is also a train that came thru a few times a day. It was really loud when I was paying attention, even scared the dogs the first couple times. HOWEVER, it didn’t bother us and we never heard it at night.
We don’t travel with a tow vehicle so we typically don’t leave the site. Here town was close enough that we could take our E-bikes in Titian for candy when I got the munchies or a beer for daddy when he got the-munchies.
Happy RVing

For Willow Bay Recreation Area: A lovely small campground on a reservoir with a boat launch, bike and hiking paths, and a lot of open green grassy areas that are beautifully kept up. We were in a pull through and had a huge yard with a picnic table and fire pit. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, directing us to a local bakery andl points of interest. Highly recommend this campground for a relaxing country experience. As others have noted, there is frequent train traffic but we did not find it disturbing since they did not blow their whistles. I guess it depends on how sensitive you are to that noise.

For Willow Bay Recreation Area: A real gem. We got a partial hookup site (no sewer) in the shade with great lake view for under $25. Mgt was great. Trains are close, but that just reminds me of home. Pull through too. Campground was peaceful with great campers.
