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!

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.

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.
