My husband and I just spent six nights at the Willow Bay campground. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We have been going to the Willow Bay Campground for over 30 years. One thing that we noticed was how clean and well kept the place was this year. In particular, Dan kept the grounds well maintained and Story did a fantastic job of keeping bathrooms clean.

Willow Bay is incredible! We have been camping on the Kinzua Reservoir for 35 years, at willow bayfor the last 6. The maintenance has NEVER looked as good as it does in 2025. Went out of our way to meet Dan and Story to say thank you. The campgroynd is super clean, well maintained and on a lovely bay. We have Starlink, so service wasn't an issue.

Willow Bay is amazing! We loved it and will be a regular spot for us. A few things to note - the tent sites in Deer Grove are walk to but there is a unloading/loading spot which was very convenient. The campsites were pretty close together. We reserved two and I was able to walk between the two fairly quickly. The sites can comfortably fit 2 tents, maybe 3 if they are smaller but some of the ground was uneven. Wood and ice are available at the front. It is so beautiful there and the people working were very nice. Can't wait for our next trip!

Beautiful campground - very clean and quiet. Helpful, friendly volunteers. The host, Bill is wonderful, he gave us lots of great information and recommendations. He also keeps the campground, restroom, and showers spotless. We had a nice, level site #29 close to the river (love waking to the sound of the water and birds singing each morning) with electric hookups. Plenty of room between sites. No cell service. We enjoyed hiking, biking and bird watching- osprey and bald eagle call this area home. The town of Bradford is only 17 miles if you need supplies, cell service or want to eat out. Overall a great stay!

What an amazing place to camp at any time of the year. I love this place to take friends for hunting and fishing or the family for a weekend getaway! It is truly a blessed place to be one with nature and reboot from life.

We went in January with the intention of snagging a "first come, first serve" cabin. The website showed that reservations were not available in advance and we were okay with that because we figured nobody would be out in January. Well, we were right. The firewood was all locked up and nobody was working in the booth at the front where you pay. So, we ended up self-service paying for a campsite instead but it was frigid and not our original plan. Better communication would've been nice.

Loved this park! Hosts were super nice. The site is close to two reservoirs and town. Great place to relax and take in the lake too

This is an amazing, laid back campsite. It's mostly full of boaters headed to the lake daily, so things are super quiet all day. But, beware--there is not a lot for the kiddos to do here if you are land-locked. I will definitely book again for next year!

Lots of great sites with many on the water and easy access for those not on the water. Pit toilets are cleaned and stocked several times during the day and staff is friendly and helpful. Showers are available near the RV campers and wood is available for $10/bundle.

Always stay in a cabin, at least a couple of times a year. The cabins have always been clean and dry. The bathrooms are exceptional even on the busiest weekends, nice place to drop nuggets and get a shower. The boat launch and it's parking area couldn't be better. All site staff have been very friendly and helpful. The lake and surroundings are beautiful. I look forward to making reservations every year. Adding photos from last trip to Willow Bay for the year.
