Loved this quiet campground. Stayed Sunday-Wednesday. A few other campers but the sites are mostly private with mature plants bordering most sites. PCT trail is easy to access. The bathrooms were clean and the camp host was friendly. Planning a return in October for the fall colors.

We tried out a new camp site due to we were using our Teardrop this time instead of our tent. It was a change but turned out to be a good one. Couldn’t make it to Goose Lake due to snow , maybe next time.

Camped at Panther Creek for long Memorial day weekend and it was amazing! Gorgeous setting, huge site (we got #23 which is a double site so we knee it was going to be big but this site fit 5 vehicles on the parking pad, 5 tents, had 2 picnic tables, and still room for games). Camp host Angela was super awesome! No cell service for T-Mobile, Verizon, or at&t. Water was on and clean and tasted good. Vault toilets were clean. Creek sounds at night amazing. Sites spread out so you didn't really hear other groups much.

Nicely spaced sites. Our camp was large with two tent pads. It was clean, as was the outhouse.

Generously sized campsites that are nicely distanced from one another. Easy access to a creek, old style pumps with potable water and complete shade. This makes a great base camp for exploring the Washington side of Columbia River Gorge!

Fantastic location. We just camped for one night, but was amazing waking up among the trees.
We were far enough away from the other sites to have complete privacy
The creek was very accessible and made for the best way to cool off during the heatwave

Our family of 4 had the best and most memorable time at Panther Creek! Our camp host was so friendly and helpful and it was so beautiful and quiet there...quite the hidden gem! We'll be coming back for sure, and next time we'll be making a trip to those stunning falls that we've since learned about.

Lovely Cascade campground next to a stream. There was a good distance between campsites. There could have been a few more restrooms. Paved road to campground, but one lane in places.
