A heavily used dispersed camping area located just south of Lassen Volcanic National Park, Willow Lake is known for its unique floating bog and good fishing. The Terminal Geyser trailhead is accessible from here.

The description, directions and fees are the Forest Service’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.

The federal record has no coordinates for this campground, so it is listed under its county and left off the map rather than placed by guesswork. Use the directions above.
