We had an amazing experience at Owen's Creek! Weather was perfect, camp site and hosts were great! We stayed at site #22...close but not too close to bathrooms (which were very well-maintained).
Looking forward to going back again!

Great campground. Really enjoyed our experience. Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. Clean bathrooms. Liked not having any RVs nearby so there was no noise from generators.

Such a lovely, quiet, restorative camping experience at Owens Creek! The nature trail and historic sawmill trail make this an especially interesting campground for children. The bathhouses are clean and easy to access from all sites. We try to make an annual trip to this special place.

Bathrooms were super clean and maintained more than once a day. Sites are nice and there was plenty of wood available. The camp hosts were lovely.

The site was very well neat and tidy. Restroom facilities as well. The camp ground host and hostess stopped by a couple of times and were appropriately engaging, and helpful with answering questions.

This park is sacred and I continue to be grateful for my time there. Special thanks to the camp ground hosts and National Parks Service.
