Willow Bay Resort
Overview
Willow Bay Resort offers a scenic retreat on the shores of Long Lake, providing a tranquil environment for those looking to escape into nature. This destination functions as more than just a place to park; it is a full-service marina and RV park designed to maximize the lakeside experience. Guests often remark on the mature trees and the quiet atmosphere that defines this gated community near the Spokane River, where the focus remains on outdoor recreation and relaxation.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Nine Mile Falls, the park is nestled within the rugged beauty of Eastern Washington. The property sits directly on the water, offering expansive views of the surrounding hills and the winding lake. While the resort feels remote and peaceful, it is conveniently located just a short drive from the Spokane metropolitan area. This positioning allows travelers to balance rural relaxation with quick access to urban convenience and supplies.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped for water enthusiasts, featuring a private marina and boat launch for easy access to the lake. RV sites include options for both 30 and 50-amp electrical service, with many sites offering spacious layouts under a lush canopy of trees. Essential facilities include the following features:
- Clean restrooms and showers for guest convenience.
- On-site laundry facilities.
- A designated swimming area and private beach.
- Gated access for enhanced security and privacy.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the resort’s private beach, visitors are close to the vast trail systems of Riverside State Park. This area is a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. For those interested in local history, the nearby Little Falls Dam offers a glimpse into the region's heritage, while the city of Spokane provides diverse dining and shopping within a thirty-minute drive. Fishing on Lake Spokane is also a primary draw for visitors seeking bass and trout.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is an ideal choice for boating and fishing enthusiasts who want immediate access to the water from their campsite. Families will appreciate the safe, enclosed environment and the opportunities for swimming and outdoor play. It is particularly well-suited for travelers seeking a scenic summer getaway where the primary focus is enjoying the natural beauty of the Washington landscape in a social, community-focused setting.

Rv location was great. The view truly beautiful. The facilities need some love but the gentlemen that work here were kind and helpful. Would recommend this place and definitely will come back. Although I would say this is definitely not a RV resort.

Never coming back! We called the evening before arriving to book a tent site. We were told by Brie a wooden picnic table was no problem and they would make it work for us. Upon arrival, we called to let Brie know we arrived and asked about a picnic table as there was not one at our site. Brie rudely replied, " We spoke about this yesterday. If you can find one you can load it up and take it to your site. " That is NOT what we spoke about. One was to be taken to our site! ( My husband is disabled and couldn't lift one and I was unable to do it on my own. Thanks, Brie 😡 ) The next day we called with a question and had to leave a message. NO RETURN CALL. This is NOT how you treat guests. The bathrooms were not cleaned the whole time we were there and obviously not for months before our arrival. Crap all over the toilets, soap dispenser was disgusting, showers were filthy and nowhere to dry and change but IN THE SHOWER, and trash both inside and outside were overflowing. No ventilation in the bathrooms. It was upper 90's during our stay. I don't care how close it was to the river, I wouldn't stay there again. Neighbors were rudely loud, and no instructions but the bathroom code. Seems they make their money off of permanent camper sites, and have no regard to others.

Loved camping here! The only thing I didn’t like is the camp sites are not reserved for you. You kind of crowd in where you can fit! The bathrooms were ok. It was a good price compared to other camp sites! I made this review a year ago and we just returned this past weekend and got a whole different experience! The bathrooms were very neglected! There were spiders covering the bathrooms so much so that my 9 year old daughter was so scared to go she crapped her self! This place has gone down hill significantly! It is still based on first come first serve which kind of sucks because half the time you are split from your group. It is way worse than last year!!! I don’t think we will be back! I was very disappointed!!!

Its beautiful, nice owners, the bathrooms were a little rough, people were loud but expected to be while camping. The water was nice was hard to go boating as the plans were putting out the fire across the river. Other wards it was a great experience

My husband and I come here a lot during the season to launch are boat and it’s always super easy to launch at this boat launch. We had got a new boat and trailer and are trailer was broken we spent 30 minutes trying to launch it. Danial noticed we were having a hard time and came to are rescue. He used his own Supplies to fix our trailer and wanted nothing in return. It was the best custom Service ever, because of him we were able to successfully launch the boat!! Thank you Danial

Due to a family emergency, we had to cut our visit short. Dawson checked us in then made we had the correct information to ask for a refund since our plan was to stay five days. Then Dawson made sure we got into a spot that was a pull through so we did not have to unhook our car. Our experience there was very nice. The lake was beautiful, the campground was nice and quiet, and we were sorry we couldn’t stay longer. But we’ll be back hopefully next summer.
