What Guests Are Saying
Princess Creek Campground offers a beautiful lakeside setting with clean and well-maintained sites, making it a great option for a relaxing getaway. Many campers appreciated the friendly and helpful camp hosts, and the lack of mosquitoes during certain times made for a pleasant experience. However, some concerns were raised about the campground's road conditions, small site sizes, and inconsistencies with reservations, which could affect the overall experience.

I have been at this campground a number of times over the past 30 years (but it is not my first choice at Odell Lake) and except for the boat ramp and the toilets the rest of it has continually deteriorated. I only use this camp site in the early summer when the other campgrounds are still closed and more recently when I can't get a reserved site at the other campgrounds on the lake.
The road is horrible with lots of pot holes and camp sites were not well maintained and full of fir tree seed pods that could have been raked up. It was late July not June 1st when it had just opened. Downed trees are left to break down naturally which is nice in the wilderness but not in a campground where they can become a fire hazard. Maybe the tree cutters could but them into fire wood lengths and let campers use them for fire wood.
The reservation system is a mess to deal with and while I was there a couple of prime camp sites designated as first come (FF) were empty. I mean, who would go there and take a chance on getting one of those good sites on a first come basis? As I understand the rules people in reserved sites can not move to a FF site; but of course there is no camp host or other personnel available to ask about that. This particular campground in the condition it is in does not need any reservation schedule when people can reserve sites at the other two camp grounds on Odell Lake. As far as I'm concerned there should be no camping fees charged at this campground until it is improved and potable water is brought back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the campground. The camp hosts were beyond amazing and so friendly.
We do wish that the USFS would be able to issue tickets to campers who leave their campsites blazing. We had two neighboring campsites that literally left with flames going. I believe the USFS should be able to issue tickets and suspended campers from being able to reserve sites if they cannot be fire wise.

Very nice campground. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The lakeside sites have very little highway noise. It can be quite windy in the afternoons., so do your paddling in the morning. I had very good cell service ( AT&T). Will definitely be back.

Princess Creek CG at Odell Lake Oregon is my most favorite place in existence. The fragrance of the sun warming the fir needles, the trees gently swaying to the breeze off the lake and the water lapping on the rocks is amazing. The sites are spacious. A truly religious experience. My yearly visit is something I will always want to do.

Scenery was spectacular. Campground was quiet and the hosts kept the pit toilets clean.
No on-site water but we expected that. We expected swarms of mosquitos but were surprised to only encounter a few.

We stayed at site 25 in our 30ft. RV with no trouble. It’s right on the lake. Heavy mosquitos during our stay. No shoreline, but easy wading into the lake. This site was relatively private, and a beautiful scene.
I’d just recommend lots of bug spray, or a netted tent for outside time.

We had a wonderful time at Princess Creek Campground. The site we camped in was big, had a nice picnic table and a great view of the lake. The bathroom facilities (vault toilets) were very clean.
