What Guests Are Saying

Princess Creek Campground offers a beautiful lakeside experience with clean facilities and friendly camp hosts who are dedicated to maintaining the area. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, great fishing, and well-kept restrooms. However, some guests noted issues with small campsite sizes, uneven terrain, and noise from the nearby highway, which can detract from the overall experience.

The camp space was terrible the pictures that we booked the campground on from was wrong it was so uneven I had to park 50 feet from my picnic table and my trailer was still very uneven we left after 3 days and move to Waldo Lake Campground I think my money should be refunded for the days that I didn't use it. Web page says slightly uneven it was a ten-foot drop in grade. Was very unhappy and should be posted as a tent Campground site only

We stayed in #32 which is supposed to be a double site. Booked primarily because it was the only lakeside site available. I had high hopes but was pretty disappointed. We brought a 20ft trailer, which I don't recommend for this site because its a 90 degree back in. Not the easiest for newbies like us. It is a good thing we had the trailer though because you would be hard pressed to find an area big enough or level enough for any tent, much less multiple tents as a group site would imply. You are right on the lake, however to sit lakeside the opening is only big enough for about 2 chairs... the view is pretty though. Another thing to consider, you are right next to the boat launch so there is traffic going back and forth all day and when we were here the dumpster next to the boat launch was very stinkyand overflowing with discarded fish guts or whatever. Overall, I'd probably stay here again but not in this site. It needs to be cleaned up of fallen trees and debris before it can really be considered a double site.

The staff was super friendly and made sure our reserved spot stayed open for us! My friend and I had gotten a little lost on our way back from hiking around Crater Lake all day, and apparently someone else wanted our spot. Really glad they didn’t let them do that, we loved this campground far better than the one we were at the previous night.
Perfect amount of tree shade, beautiful views, easy access to the lake, all our camping neighbours were super friendly as well! Will definitely be returning here!

Nice, relatively quiet campground. Try to get a spot near the lake. Don't forget the 10 minutes drive to Shelter cove to see the mass of PCT hikers enjoy the luxury of a campground with shower!
I have a question about prices at Princess. Would someone email me with a number I could call to talk with a real person?

I’ll start with the good.. i love the lakeside spots! It was nice to have the shallow water right there to sit in a chair and play with the dogs in and launch our water toys. The water was wonderful and the view of the lake was beautiful.

However.. Our double lakeside campsite that i paid over $60 for was the ONLY campsite in the whole campground that wasn’t either cautioned off for obvious reasons or cleaned up. I took a walk around the other sites and ours was again the ONLY one not cleaned up.we could barely fit three tents in a DOUBLE site. There were fallen trees, not even attempted to be cleaned up, roots sticking up everywhere, debris everywhere, it was almost unusable and I’m still debating asking for a refund and/or two free nights in a campsite I don’t have to worry about hurting myself in. (I did get a black eye by tripping on something so guess i did get hurt) not really a happy camper 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I will stay in one of or rather any of the other cleaned up usuable lakeside spots in the future because the lake itself was beautiful.

Very nice campground. Would definitely return if we got a space right on the lake. We have a 21 foot trailer and had to use 30 blocks to level and most sites appeared to be similar. The only other issue was difficulty launching our kayaks from other people's campsites.

Our site had an uphill climb and took some manipulation to get the trailer level. Intermediate to advanced back in site for trailer. It worked for me but a novice may be challenged

Very noisy near the highway. A lot of deferred maintenance on the interior roads. Nice launch ramp. Beautiful lake. Can't wait to go back.

The campground is near the highway but the setting cancels that out. It was a lovely campground. It was very convenient to both Odell resort sites. No water on site. We got 3 - 5 gallon water bags filled at another site after we arrived. It was more than enough water for 4 people for 3 nights. We heard site 12 and 11 are very windy. We were a site just off from there.
We would go back again. The hosts come and go. There was a campfire during the restrictions no one there to fine the violators. My fellow campers asked me not to confront violators. I do regret this.
