We love this camp. It’s absolutely beautiful here. Small, clean, quiet. Lots of little trails to explore near the creek, and waterfalls nearby. Angela is a wonderful camp host.
Don’t skip on Backwoods Brewery in Carson for your growler fill!

Camp Host and Cooper Camp kitty are the best! Beautiful forested campground along Panther creek. Most sites have good distance and vegetation for privacy. Was there for Memorial weekend and it was nice and quiet.

Loved the campground, secluded in the woods, and the camp host was fantastic. But be aware that you need to fill up the tank on your camper at the campground on the river if you have a camper, all they have is hand pumps at the site.
