Can not give 5 stars. I first camped at Panther Creek in 1975. Have camped there hundreds on nights. On our most recent visit we greeted buy a camp fire pit full of garbage. Burned beer cans, used paper plates, tissue, napkins, chicken bones, bottle caps, cigarette butts, etc. Know one should have to deal with others garbage. In past decades there were posted reminders that fire pits are non garbage pits to leave behind. In the past camp hosts would "groom" camp sites prior to the next guest's arrival. Apparently not a priority for RMRC.
