Willows Campground

We really, really enjoyed the Green Mountain Reseroir area, Kremmling and Silverthorne!

PROs:
* Site 11 was away from sites which was nice;
* Senior pass gave us 1/2 price for site ($8 booking fee throuugh RECREATION.GOV);
* Trash dumpsters, picnic table and fire pit;
* Views are really good from this site;
* AT&T worked ok in the mornings and evenings, no Verizon service;
* Kremmeling is 10 miles north, a cute small town. Groceries, restaurants and a GREAT coffee shop. We even left dollars at the Meat Market!
* Exploring the dam and Heeney area was cool!
* Spent couple of days south in Silverthorne (26 miles) and found an awesome restaurant for breakfast called Mountain Lyon - best breakfast ever!
* Drove the Williams Pass dirt road drive (couple miles from Willows CG on US 9), that was an adventure!

CONs:
* Site 11 and many over sites were EXTREMELY unlevel, we had to use every block and lumber we brought with us to get close to level.

We camped at the Willows Campground for 2 nights. The Green Mountain Reservoir, although water levels were very low at the time, is enchanting and beautiful. This campground is near the main road on the southern shore of the lake. We loved our campsite #5. It easily fit our large rig (33 ft 5th wheel) and had the shade of multiple trees. Several of the sites looked capable of fitting larger rigs. The only word of caution would be entering the main gate. It is a 90 degree turn down a moderately steep slope on an uneven dirt road. We managed it but it would be advisable to pull over and check it out prior to maneuvering down it. There was no reception - zero, zip. We had to drive into town to work. There were vault toilets nearby too which we did not use.
