Trapper Creek is an undiscovered gem. All the other campers were quiet and respectful. For a nice walk ,exit the campground, take a left, then right. There's a trail that follows Trapper Creek for a ways upstream. Clean bathrooms and we'll cared for property.

We had a phenomenal time. Very relaxing. The creek was a nice change from the lake. Peaceful pathway to the marina and small restaurant. Birds are not afraid of you and will quickly move in when you get up from the table. The campsites are a mix of very private and plenty of space to less privacy between sites, but better for bigger groups wanting to be near each other. We will definitely be back. FYI: the train passes through the area quite frequently, even the middle of the night.

We have stayed here several times over the years. You can't beat the price for what you get! Sites are a decent size and private, with most sites having the table and fire ring behind the RV for privacy. Restrooms are not flush, but they are very private in a well constructed individual building. They were kept very clean and did not have an odor while we were there. The creek flows into the lake here, and there is a general store at the resort just beyond Trapper Creek. The Pacific Crest Trail is just beyond the railroad tracks across the road, and it leads to a beautiful rock outcropping for an incredible overview of the entire lake. Well run campground, highly recommend.

Short of it being so very cold and wet it was nice.
The only thing I would suggest is the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

We like this spot on Odell lake. Off the highway, generous sites that are reasonably level, water and pit toilets available. It is right at the pass so a cool refuge in summer heat.

First remember your dry camping, nice clean private spaces. With a big rig it’s pretty tight getting around. Beautiful camping spaces in big trees. Limited sunlight because of big beautiful trees. Clean restrooms, no water. Great place to camp and great fishing and hiking.

I love this campsite. It’s my 4th year in a row here. I sleep so well with the sounds of the creek. This year is it was the cleanest yet. Not a bit of paper or plastic on the ground. It even had been raked! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that a neighbor ran a generator for several hours every day.
