Overview

Located off the Snowy Range Scenic Byway in the Libby Creek Recreation Area, this campground has 16 campsites (trailers under 22 feet), picnic tables, vault toilets, drinking water (sometimes), campfire rings, and pedestal grills. There is fishing access at Libby Creek and the nearby Barber Lake Picnic Site. Willow Campground is at 8,600ft.

This campground will have a mix of reservation sites and first-come, first-served sites for the 2026 season. If you are not reserving your site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by cash or check once you are at the campground.

Modifications on reservations are not allowed for this site. This is due to limited capacity to update reservation placards when concerning last minute modifications as well as limited functionality with the modifications feature in recreation.gov which has only an ON or OFF toggle for site managers and no feature allowing modifications up until a certain time frame.

Recreation

Further down Barber Lake Road from Pine Campground is Barber Lake Picnic Site which features a retention pond. When accumulative annual precipitation allows, it is filled with water and stocked with Rainbow Trout in the summer months. Additionally, there is a nearby trail system that comes from Corner Mountain Trailhead.

Facilities
