Good info, thanks! Noted for our next trip there - extremely crowded last time there.Jim Davies wrote:There's a surprisingly good campsite about 2.8 miles up (if you zoom the map on climbingcue's strava track, it shows up as a little tent). I stayed there once, it's big and flat and has good trees, and isn't far below a stream crossing. Just an option if you want to take a different approach than the crowds packing in at the lake...

Re: Distance to Willow Lake Camping
Go in October, you'll have stable weather, and have the peaks to yourself, and camp at Willow Lake, no mosquitos or people!
