Willow Creek Camp North
An Unforgettable Riverside Escape
My wife and I recently visited this private campground for 2 days.
We captured our entire stay in 4K quality, so if you want to see the beauty of this hidden gem for yourself, stay tuned for the video on our YouTube channel, "AMERSIAN CAMPERS". We’ll be uploading it soon—don't miss out on that.
It was an amazing experience. Nestledright next to a shallow, refreshing river, the scenery was truly breathtaking. The water was crystal clear, and we even spotted a foot-long salmon and countless baby salmon swimming upstream. It was nature at its finest, making the atmosphere feel both fresh and serene.
One of the highlights of this campground is its peace and quiet. If you’re looking to escape the noise and hustle of daily life, this place is perfect. Despite the last mile being a bit of an off-road adventure, you don’t need an all-wheel drive or any special off-road vehicle to get there.
The campsite itself is well-maintained, with a picnic table provided. Due to the dry weather, however, the fire pit was removed for safety reasons. A heads-up for fellow campers—there are no trash cans, so you'll need to pack out your trash when you leave, which is a great way to stay environmentally responsible.
The hosts were an absolute delight! A lovely couple who welcomed us with open arms, they even gave us fresh eggplant and zucchini from their garden, and encouraged us to pick more vegetables if we want. Their warmth and generosity made the experience even more memorable.

AMAZING!!!!
We went from Orange County all the way to Klamath… On the way up we stopped in the Bay Area to camp the first night and I had reserved this spot last minute just so I could split the trip back, instead of having to drive 13h+ in a single sitting… so I wasn’t even sure I’d use it.
Turns out this was THE BEST part of the trip by far!!! We loved the place sooo much that we ended up calling out and staying 2 extra nights 😅…
Can’t say enough good things about this place and the hosts! I never write reviews for anything, and I actually debated writing this one as part of me would’ve loved to keep this little gem hidden, but I guess that goes against the concept and spirit of the app.
The views are amazing, the creek it’s sooo much fun to explore (my Mallinois was happier that he’s ever been!), and there are some fun hills to hit down on the bike.
This easily became my favorite place on earth!!
The outhouse was great (one of the most critical things for us) and the camping site truly feels secluded… unlike other places where it feels like you’re camping on someone’s backyard.
Already planning a trip back!!
This was our first trip using HipCamp, and of the 3 sites that we stayed in this was the best by far!! It wasn’t even close!!

Best camping site by far
We absolutely loved this camping spot. You definitely might want to e tend your stay. It is secluded and there are really nice creek spots. You can even bring your bikes and use the hill to get down. We had so much fun with our dog.
So if you come here we definitely recommend to pack extra waters and food incase you want to stay longer. We mostly laid by the creek and drank. Felt like an actual vacation.
The outhouse was extremely clean. The hosts were so nice and accommodating to us

Bliss
What a serene, gorgeous location! The water was cool and clear and the camp-site was tidy and inviting. The picnic table was lit with solar lights and there was plenty of room for a large tent and vehicle. There was even a perfect spot for the hammock! Tim and Valentina were both lovely and provided heaps of information about the camp-site and surrounds. The trail around the property was a few miles and meandered through oak forest and down along the creek, which the dog loved exploring each morning and afternoon. I will definitely be returning for another refresher. Thank you for sharing your special space!

Private camping with stunning views
This is our 2nd time staying at this property and 1st time at the South Camp. Both camps our beautiful but the South camp is our new favorite! Some of the views at this site are unbelievable. Easy access to the river and swimming areas. Easy hiking trails. Very clean and completely private. A 4WD vehicle is definitely required with a standard SUV clearance. It’s an easy trail to get to the camp but due to the steep inclines and loose terrain, non-4WD vehicles wouldn’t make it. We will be back for sure!

Great secluded camping spot!
We had such a great time at Valentina's spot! Amazing to be right by the creek and feel so secluded. The creek had really great spots to dip into as well as hike around. We saw not one other human around while we were there and felt like we had the place to ourselves. I would recommend to anyone and would totally come back in the future!
