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.

Two things I wished we had known beforehand:
The single water source is a very long walk and not accessible with a vehicle. Be prepared to walk far and carry your water some distance.
The whole area is a bit depressed because the lake is so low. Talking to locals and some folks who have camped there annually for many, many years, it has been on the decline for some time with no efforts to keep the lake full in favor of letting the water flow downstream (or so they say).
I would not camp here again unless the lake became fuller and allowed for a better experience.
