  • After camping on Canyon Creek Rd in the Bighorn National Forest, I drove 6 hours West to the Willow Lake Campground, just North of Pinedale Wyoming. The first two-thirds of my video is of the incredibly scenic drive. I'm hoping that those of you who have never traveled to Wyoming enjoy it.
    The video ends upon the arrival to Willow Lake. The campground does not have designated spaces, nor water/electric/trash. Carry in - Carry out.
    The site locations are obvious and there are picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof storage boxes, and a vault toilet (which is poorly maintained).
    Right now, I have 14 neighbors, and there is room for a few more. A BIG Negative here, which I've seen happening in other locations, is people bring out their campers, parking them in the best spots, and then leaving, only to come out for a day or two on the weekend. There is a 14-day camping limit, but it is obviously not being well enforced!
    It is a 10 mile drive on dirt/gravel roads out of Pinedale to get here, and the last 1-1/2 mile is pretty rough. But I made it in OK with my 35" 5th-wheel.
    The place is quite beautiful and serene, with of distant view of the Tetons.
    The lake, at an elevation of about 7500', is clean and a bit chilly, but not too uncomfortable to take a quick bath in. I will update the "serenity" part after this coming weekend, and see if things change.
