The Southwestern Idaho Senior Citizen's Recreation Association (SISCRA) will open the 66-acre Willow Creek Campground at Lake Cascade for seasonal recreational use on May 20. The campground is north of Cascade, Idaho, off of State Highway 55.

The campground is open to the public and offers nearly 200 campsites featuring overnight and day-use facilities which include electrical hookups, fresh water, sewage dump, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, and accessible restrooms with showers. Most campsites have fire pits; and the interior roads are graveled.

The Bureau of Reclamation renewed a 25-year lease agreement with SISCRA on February 17, to provide continued development, management, operation and maintenance of recreation facilities. Willow Creek Campground was formally known as the "SISCRA Campground."

Camping fees vary from $7-$13 a night, but a standard day-use fee is set at $3 per visit. For additional information contact SISCRA at (208) 325-8130 or on their website at www.siscraidaho.com.
