We have camped at Panther Creek since 1974. Have not missed a year. Jeffery and Angela are the best hosts ever. Give them a raise to keep them there.

The couple who were the campground hosts were wonderful. All of the pit toilets were very clean and as fresh smelling as is possible. The hosts made rounds several times a day and the property was in the best shape I’ve seen it in over the 10 years we have camped there.

Big, private sites with the sound of the river. Great access to the river and the PCT, one of my favorite campgrounds.

Such a great place. Our sites had a good bit of privacy, the creek had some wonderful access points to play, and the hosts were delightful. There were some mosquitoes but not an insurmountable amount. We loved it!

The road to the campground is SCARY! There is room for one vehicle, if you are pulling a trailer and meet a car going the opposite direction, it is extremely difficult to get by.
The campground itself is nice, but more gravel in the sites than we prefer. It was nice and quiet and there is lots of access to the creek. The sites are difficult to back into if your trailer is over 15 feet.

Do not cap at Panther Creek. Very dusty from gravel road and rude fast drivers. Paradise or Beaver are a better choice.

The site was terrific and the hostess a delight. But just after unpacking our things and setting up our tent, my 8yo and I walked down to dip our toes in the creek for a few minutes. When we returned our cooler (nothing else) with most of our food for our outing had disappeared. I've never had anything stolen while camping and this was the first instance at Panther Creek to the hosts' knowledge. -Charlie

Our second year returning to Panther Creek Campground. Very peaceful with the sound of the creek. Quiet families for neighbors. A little buggy this year, but not too bad. We'll probably turn coming back into a family tradition
