We love this place, it was our 2nd year back. A small little campground (30ish sites) with plenty of little spots to hang by the river. The hosts are responsive and friendly.

Spacious, well-situated sites in lush forest with several access points to the gentle creek. Fresh water and clean, well-stocked loos. Only 4.5 miles drive to beautiful, accessible Panther Falls and easy drive as well to Falls Creek Falls hike. Have recommended to friends and hope to return soon.

Somewhat primitive campground with dusty roads and sites. It's lush and next to a beautiful creek and abundance of birds.

We were in site 28 close to the path to the stream. Super clean, very fun and the location to Gifford Pinchot Park sites was fantastic. Falls Creek Falls hike was excellent! Note that potable water was not available during our stay.
