This is a beautiful campground running along side of Panther Creek. The sites are well spaced out and large. The bathrooms were well maintained. Bring your own water or jugs to be filled by a couple of pumps on site. The old Highway is perfect to bike on. We went to the waterfall located 4.8 miles from campground. Absolutely beautiful waterfall and hike. Our camp host never did evening check in or monitored the campground. It was fine but be careful of stupid people who drive super fast thru the campground. We saw a lot of young kids having fun on the gravel road not watching for drivers. Yes it’s a road but common sense says to go slow thru the campground.

Enjoyed the quiet, roomy, private campsites and clear, flat tent pads. Water source is a bit far from a lot of sites and garbage has to be taken up to the entrance bins, but we enjoyed the more primitive feel to the campgound.

We enjoyed this small, quiet campground. The small river was nice for the kids to play in as well. I can’t give it a 5 because we never saw the camp host who seemed to only clean the bathrooms once a week ( little to no toilet paper, no hand sanitizer). A family also ignored the fire ban and the host was no where to be found. We’ll be back, hopefully with a more responsive host.

The campground is beautiful. We looked for rocks on the creek. We drove to the falls, look for the writing on the street. No signs to the falls. However, we never saw the camp host. The family next to us had a s reaming baby who started at 5am and never stopped. Nothing was ever said to them.
