Do not cap at Panther Creek. Very dusty from gravel road and rude fast drivers. Paradise or Beaver are a better choice.

The road to the campground is SCARY! There is room for one vehicle, if you are pulling a trailer and meet a car going the opposite direction, it is extremely difficult to get by.
The campground itself is nice, but more gravel in the sites than we prefer. It was nice and quiet and there is lots of access to the creek. The sites are difficult to back into if your trailer is over 15 feet.

Such a great place. Our sites had a good bit of privacy, the creek had some wonderful access points to play, and the hosts were delightful. There were some mosquitoes but not an insurmountable amount. We loved it!

Big, private sites with the sound of the river. Great access to the river and the PCT, one of my favorite campgrounds.

The couple who were the campground hosts were wonderful. All of the pit toilets were very clean and as fresh smelling as is possible. The hosts made rounds several times a day and the property was in the best shape I’ve seen it in over the 10 years we have camped there.

We have camped at Panther Creek since 1974. Have not missed a year. Jeffery and Angela are the best hosts ever. Give them a raise to keep them there.
