Used a 10x10 pop-up canopy with net over the picnic table to keep the mosquitos away. Very little going on here during the weekday. Never saw the camp host but they may have showed up at the beginning of the weekend when I left. Lots of animal running around.

We were in route from out of state to Panther Creek when we received a email notice that the campground would be closed during our reservation period to perform emergency tree removal.

First camping trip here and overall we enjoyed it. The creek was beautiful, the forest was stunning, and there was easy access to hiking trails, including connections to the Pacific Crest Trail. The sites felt immersed in nature and there was plenty of wildlife to observe.
A few things to know: some tent pads were quite rocky, which made staking difficult. We also found that supplies (firewood, etc.) were limited and communication about availability was inconsistent. If you’re tent camping, consider bringing sturdier stakes than those included with budget tents.
The setting itself was gorgeous and peaceful. We’d return, but next time we’d come better prepared.

Pleasant stay. Quiet. Clean bathrooms. Note that site 13 has a slightly raised platform/bed for tents that barely fit two tents (1 two-person and 1 three-person). Wood bundles in May '26 were $10/each.

Beautiful secluded site. BBQ pits were the best I’ve seen. Clean restrooms, friendly staff, and the most adorable creek.

Panther Creek is a beautiful, serene campground. The sites are spacious and set so you have plenty of space between yourself and other campsites. A number of hiking trails lead down to the creek as well as across the campground still leaving plenty of privacy. I'll definitely be back;

I had space 11 with little to no traffic and lots of privacy. There are many varieties of trees and vegetation. It is lush. The creek is beautiful.
