Loved this quiet campground. Stayed Sunday-Wednesday. A few other campers but the sites are mostly private with mature plants bordering most sites. PCT trail is easy to access. The bathrooms were clean and the camp host was friendly. Planning a return in October for the fall colors.

We tried out a new camp site due to we were using our Teardrop this time instead of our tent. It was a change but turned out to be a good one. Couldn’t make it to Goose Lake due to snow , maybe next time.

Camped at Panther Creek for long Memorial day weekend and it was amazing! Gorgeous setting, huge site (we got #23 which is a double site so we knee it was going to be big but this site fit 5 vehicles on the parking pad, 5 tents, had 2 picnic tables, and still room for games). Camp host Angela was super awesome! No cell service for T-Mobile, Verizon, or at&t. Water was on and clean and tasted good. Vault toilets were clean. Creek sounds at night amazing. Sites spread out so you didn't really hear other groups much.

Nicely spaced sites. Our camp was large with two tent pads. It was clean, as was the outhouse.
