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.

Site 12 is the best in the campground. Plenty of room for multiple tents. It's not too close to other sites but not far from the day use area. The last mile of road from Cougar Crossing is very potholed.

It’s actually a beautiful location. The main problem is that there are clear signs telling you how to get there and the road is closed. Before you reserve it should tell you that you have to take a massive detour on a dirt road. Signs to the campground should be modified as the route is the opposite direction. The email told how to get there but was NOT clear and I ended up driving out to find people to ask if they knew an alternative route

The camp host was non existent. He spent a majority of time with another campsite that used a chainsaw through the weekend. The restrooms were not cleaned regularly and doors did not close/lock.

Great location, and the campground was as expected. The sites are on the small side and not particularly private. We camped over a weekend and there were some larger, louder groups partying into the late evening, but I'm sure during the weeknights it is much more peaceful. The reservoir is beautiful and was great swimming. Would camp here again.
