Generously sized campsites that are nicely distanced from one another. Easy access to a creek, old style pumps with potable water and complete shade. This makes a great base camp for exploring the Washington side of Columbia River Gorge!

Fantastic location. We just camped for one night, but was amazing waking up among the trees.
We were far enough away from the other sites to have complete privacy
The creek was very accessible and made for the best way to cool off during the heatwave

Our family of 4 had the best and most memorable time at Panther Creek! Our camp host was so friendly and helpful and it was so beautiful and quiet there...quite the hidden gem! We'll be coming back for sure, and next time we'll be making a trip to those stunning falls that we've since learned about.

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.
