One of our favorite campgrounds. We had the creek right across from our campsite and loved it. The Camp Hosts are very helpful and kind. Bathrooms were always kept clean. Can't wait to return.

Panther Creek is a beautiful campground. It's a little off the beaten path, and was not super crowded. The setting is really ideal, and the creek can be heard from any of the campsites. Angela, the campground host, was very friendly and helpful. And up the road about 5 miles is a short trail to Panther Creek Falls, which is well-worth the visit. The only issue we had was that our first spot was too shaded for our rooftop solar panel to keep our DC fridge going, but we moved to another open, sunnier spot, and all was well. Can't wait to go back.

This is our go to place for camping. Have always enjoyed ourselves here. For us it’s only about an hour away from home snd It puts us right where we like to go, Fishing at several lakes, Hiking, snd exploring the Indian Heaven Wilderness area and other surrounding places.

Beautiful campground, well-maintained, toilets very clean, host was great. Each site was pretty spacious and nicely situated in the trees. Creek nearby is fun to explore & picturesque.

Had a nice mostly private camp site. River is near by. No water faucet.

The sites are all enclosed with trees and you don't easily see or here the other sites unless you are on the road. There are some great spots on the water and plenty of area to walk in camp. I liked not having cell service too. The PCT runs right through camp so you can easily hike some if you want. I will for sure go back.

Early season stay, campground was in great shape and host is friendly, organized and knowledgeable. Since there are not very many sites in this campground it stays pretty quiet and the sites are very spread out, you're not super close to another site.
