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.

Our campsite was, and most campsites are, very close to a major highway (199), which does not look like much on the map, but which carried continuous loud big truck traffic all night long (this was early August). It was impossible to sleep there, in tents, and we left after one night. Other than that, the campground is lovely and right next to the Smith river.
The campground is also in walking distance of an historic inn, a good place to get a meal or a beer.

This would have been 5 stars except for the clouds of mosquitoes that were there along with us. Other than that, a nice, clean, and quiet (after the road traffic died down in the evening) place to camp. Lots of nice hikes nearby.

Decent clean campground. A bit close to the busy highway, but also close to a beautiful creek with lots of side trails to explore.

Patrick Creek is absolutely gorgeous! Rating low because we got devoured by No-see-ums which since I hadn’t encountered before caused allergic reaction
