Panther Creek Campground offers a clean and well-maintained environment with spacious, private sites and easy access to hiking trails and the beautiful creek. Many visitors enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, although some experienced noisy logging trucks early in the morning. While there were a few issues, such as a lack of water signage and fire bans, the friendly camp host and scenic surroundings make it a popular choice for campers seeking a serene outdoor experience.

We have stayed a Panther Creek campground for the past 4 years plus. It is a beautiful spot and we love it. What we found this year were dirty bathrooms, empty hand sanitizer dispensers and no firewood available.
Disappointing.

Amazing campground. A little dusty, so expect dirt dust to be on all of your belongings, but that's true of the area in general, so I can't blame the campsite for it. Hosts were very nice, bathrooms were clean, campsites were pretty well spaced apart. Easy access to Panther Creek, PCT, and a bunch of other attractions in the area. 10/10!

The camp host is awesome; campgroud is clean and well cared for. We hiked a bit both ways up the Picific Coast Trail, waded in the creek, and just relaxed. There's great hiking for all abilities to drive to in the area and good beer and food in Stevenson and Carson. Take the time to go for a soak at Carson Hotsprings resort or just get a shower if you have been out for awhile.

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.
