Love this quiet spot so close to Portland! The river is excellent. Campsites have tent pads and varying amounts of space, so if you are camping with a group, choose wisely.

Quiet campground with the feeling of being remote. Large campsites and several creek access points. Clean restrooms.

Great campground in a lush forest setting, plenty of room in between sites, the creek was right across with easy trails. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the tent sites, the official one is small, a 4 person dome hung over the edge, another one up in the trees was slanted,we ended up putting one tent on the parking pad. It would be very difficult to put a large tent in this site. It was very quiet during our stay,and the bathroom was very clean!

Panther Creek Campground is one of my very favorites. The site I choose is very private. It is close to the river. The Pacific Crest trail is right there off the campground. The campground is clean.
