What Guests Are Saying

Patrick Creek Campground is a beautiful location with friendly camp hosts, clean facilities, and easy river access, making it a great spot for families and campers. Many sites offer ample space and shaded areas, and there are nice walking trails nearby. However, some campers reported noise disturbances and a lack of potable water, as well as a high presence of mosquitoes, which may affect the overall experience.

What a beautiful spot! The camp host Joe was so friendly and helpful. Easy river access and so close to the Redwoods. Very clean restrooms and sites. We will come back!

Great little campground. Site 5 had enough room for our 29 foot camper and the truck to park next to it with a shady spot and picnic table. There was even a little path that led down to a beautiful spot on the creek.

The campground itself is amazing. Super beautiful setting . The river spots are hospitable for family. There's very nice, nice walking trails all over and lots of history . The downside was no water besides the river .on the down side there were more than a few other campers making too much noise loud music till after 10pm and two sets of campers that brought 5 dogs each . They were not leashed and barked all night . So I was not well rested and super tired every day . Besides that I highly recommend this for primitive camping or self contained campers that don't require hookups .

Restrooms are very clean, and surprisingly has very few mosquitos in them. No running water but the toilet is flushable. There were many, many, many mosquitos near my campsite, i repeat, many, MANY, MANY mosquitos !! be prepared. mosquito activities die down at night so sleeping experience was great.

We enjoyed the campsite and location of the campground. I think the amount charged was too much for not having potable water in the campground. One site I checked with under amenities said there was water.

Nice little campground close to the river. It was very hot when we were there. There was a problem with the water. We could use the toilets but no water. Our spot was fine. We had excellent dinner on the other side of the road, at the Lodge!

I can't say enough about the camp hosts Tim and Terry, our truck broke down in our site and it took 2 days to get a tow truck up there. Tim managed to shuffle camp sites around to accommodate us. He lent us fire wood and generally remained upbeat and helpful. The camp itself is a wonderful place with easy access to the river. I look forward to returning there (and bringing Tim a few bundles of firewood)

Patrick Creek has easy access, good camp sites, convenient water near each site, and good bathrooms. Peaceful and scenic.

It's a nice small campground located in a nice area by the river. Good location for accessing the redwoods and various trails. The site is older and could use some upgrades and TLC. The lights in the restroom didn't work. Trails could be cleared.
