What Guests Are Saying
Slide Creek Campground offers a quiet and secluded experience, with close proximity to Cougar Reservoir and hot springs. While some sites are small and may not be suitable for RVs, many guests appreciate the privacy and natural beauty of the area, as well as the cleanliness and friendliness of the camp host. However, access to the reservoir has become restricted, which may affect water recreation activities.

This has been my favorite area to camp for the past 7-8 years. Upon arrival I was informed there was a locked gate across the boat ramp this year and that there was no longer access to get to the reservoir. I drove around the next day trying to find water access and it has all been blocked off. Unless you can rock climb up and down a steep hillside or cliff. If you're not going to get into the water it's still a good stay and the camp host this year is fantastic. Yes, the website boasts water recreation and boating but there is definitely not boat access. Even the kayakers, paddleboarders, and fishermen/women were packing up leaving same day and next day after arriving and finding the same issue. So sad what they have done to this beautiful recreation area.

The reservoir is a beautiful spot. We enjoyed many hours on the water swimming, paddle boarding and jumping from the cliffs. Unfortunately, there is no shade along the shore, so I would recommend a canopy to provide a break from the hot sun. The camp site was surprisingly small, barely space for a tent next to the picnic table. Another disappointment was the access to drinking water. There is only one place to get drinking water in the campground. It is quite a distance from any of the camp sites and not accessible by vehicles, so you need to carry all of the water you need. I would recommend bringing your own water.

Nice, simple campsite in a pretty area. Was pretty empty at the beginning of June when we were there. Simple outhouses and nice fire pit and good site to pitch a tent.
