Willow Creek Hot Springs Campground

The hot spring is completely natural, small and warm. I was surprised by the campground. It has one site large enough for our 30ft trailer and truck to fit without unhitching the trailer. The other sites are smaller, but all are flat. They are spaced far apart and have picinic tables. It’s super quiet and clean. There are only a handful of sites, so getting a spot is lucky. We enjoyed our soak and the night sky. Worth the long drive on the dirt road. Oh, and swim suits are optional, so don’t be surprised if your fellow soakers are in the buff.

12 soaking, 3 dogs, 24 glass hold beer.
You can draw your conclusions.....

It is 26 miles of dirt road off the freeway. But the first 24 is very packed so easy to go 40 mph on, 50 if you’re feeling keen for some Tokyo Drift action. There’s a few picnic tables and fire pits, land is pretty flat. I’m sure you could park some RV’s here. The water in the hot spring is a beautiful 101 degrees, and the cold pool that it feeds into is probably in the 80’s, albeit a bit murky. When the sun is setting and you’re pissing into the cool breeze take in the majesty that is southeast Oregon. Beautiful colors and landscapes. Other worldly. AND there’s a hot springs and it’s free, it can’t get much better. Zero T-Mobile service, I guess it did just get better!

Nice and quiet in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by sage brush,cows, and birds. About five other campers very spread out. Long washboard dirt road to get here.

Very long dirt road but worth it! Vault toilets, att has service, I work from my computer ! Trying out the hotspring later but heard a family having fun this afternoon! Beautiful isolated area! Come prepared as the closest gas stations about an hour away
