What Guests Are Saying
Panther Creek Campground offers a clean and well-maintained environment with spacious, private sites and easy access to hiking trails and the beautiful creek. Many visitors enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, although some experienced noisy logging trucks early in the morning. While there were a few issues, such as a lack of water signage and fire bans, the friendly camp host and scenic surroundings make it a popular choice for campers seeking a serene outdoor experience.

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.

Loved this little campground. Good trails nearby - Panther Creek Falls is just up the road, and about 30 minutes away from Beacon Rock. The campground is quiet and there is access to the creek. The pit toilets were very clean and stocked with TP the entire weekend. Would love to come back here!
