About this campground
Willow Springs Lake was created in 1966 by the Arizona Game and Fish Department as a trout fishing lake. The lake is set in the tall pines at 7,600 foot elevation. Willow Springs Lake has a surface area of 150 acres and is stocked with trout regularly from Spring through Fall. Boats with motors up to 10 hp are permitted on this lake. There is no fee for day use or to launch a boat. An Arizona State fishing license is required to fish this lake. No dispersed camping is allowed within 1/2 mile of the lake, but Sinkhole Campground is within walking distance of the lake.
