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.

Site 10 was very sunny, but still private from other sites. Nice tent set up area and close access to necessities like bathroom and water, as well as walking distance to creek. Must see Panther Creek Falls; only a ten minute drive away!

The sites are large and spread out, which is nice. We couldn’t hear other campers at all. Facilities were clean. Creek is really pretty.

Nice little campground. Vault toilets were well take care of and clean. Short drive to Carson to enjoy some brews and lunch with the pups at Backwoods Brewing which was fun. Nice hiking trails nearby as well to drive to. We had site #10, which we found to be a little small for 3 tents. One tent had to pitch in the driveway, but overall a great time. Would come back again for sure.

The campground is beautiful. We looked for rocks on the creek. We drove to the falls, look for the writing on the street. No signs to the falls. However, we never saw the camp host. The family next to us had a s reaming baby who started at 5am and never stopped. Nothing was ever said to them.

We enjoyed this small, quiet campground. The small river was nice for the kids to play in as well. I can’t give it a 5 because we never saw the camp host who seemed to only clean the bathrooms once a week ( little to no toilet paper, no hand sanitizer). A family also ignored the fire ban and the host was no where to be found. We’ll be back, hopefully with a more responsive host.

Loved this campground! So many great access points to the river and the waterfall up the road is spectacular!
