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.

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.

The location was beautiful. The site was a little difficult to find but honestly I think I liked that better. I wish there was better water access and the bug(mosquitoes) were horrible. Even with our bug repellent we were eaten alive. Still super itchy a week later. It was nice being so close to terwilliger hot springs.

Camped here and did Tamolitch Falls, Koosah and Sahalie Falls, Terwilliger Hot Springs, and rented a boat on Clear Lake. Beautiful scenery.

Campsite was pretty and close to the Cougar Reservoir. There were some pretty loud people close to us, and unfortunately no firewood available despite being able to have them in established campgrounds.

For people saying the campground is hard to find, it’s really not. I highly recommend downloading the Avenza app and finding maps for the district you’ll be in, you can’t get lost even with no service.
