Great experience, large lovely campsites and very clean. Missed the entry because we were looking for a sign on the right side of the road, the sign is on the opposite side. We had to back a trailer down the road, YIKES! Maybe a larger sign at the entrance side would help. Also we noticed that the same thing happened to other drivers.

I loved Panther Creek! We have come twice and stayed with friends on a few different sites. One in the middle was a little loud, but all were great. You feel a little more secluded than with other car camping sites. The easy trek to the PCT is fun too!

Great campsite, love the creek access. Make sure to bring a large container to fill with water, only a few pumps in the campground. We enjoy this campground and will be back.
