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.

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.

The campsite (11) was a bit smaller than expected but we were still able to fit a medium and a small tent there. Had the campsite next to us (8) been in use while we were there, we wouldn't have had much privacy but luckily didn't have to deal with that. The reservoir is a short walk away with some nice views and small areas to swim if you don't have a boat/kayak/etc.. Drinking water was a farther walk than expected. Overall we really liked this location and how quiet it was and being able to disconnect from everything. Highly recommend stargazing on the boat launch at night.

Close to swimming spot at boat launch, nice shade. Campsites are small and not much privacy. Close proximity to nice trails such as Rebel Creek nd French Pete Creek.

Site 12 at least was big enough for at least 3 full size tents, with a great view of the river through the trees. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Sites are closer than expected from what the map showed, but still not that bad. The reason for the 4 star review instead of a 5 is that there isn't much of a swimming area, just a boat ramp and some grassy areas you can swim. But it would be great for kayaking, boating, and floats. The one other reason is that whilst I was there there was a group that blasted music unbelievably loud between the hours of 3 am and 5 am, there site was fairly close to the host, yet not once did the host ask them to turn the music down. Now it could be that he was just a really sound sleeper, but when I say loud, I mean concert loud.

Site 11 was super small and full of mosquitos because of the drainage! Other sites were not as buggy. It was great to be close to the boat ramp and it is a beautiful area.
The site says it can have an RV, most are too small for a trailer!
