Quiet campground with the feeling of being remote. Large campsites and several creek access points. Clean restrooms.

Great campground in a lush forest setting, plenty of room in between sites, the creek was right across with easy trails. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the tent sites, the official one is small, a 4 person dome hung over the edge, another one up in the trees was slanted,we ended up putting one tent on the parking pad. It would be very difficult to put a large tent in this site. It was very quiet during our stay,and the bathroom was very clean!

Panther Creek Campground is one of my very favorites. The site I choose is very private. It is close to the river. The Pacific Crest trail is right there off the campground. The campground is clean.

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.
