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.

This is a beautiful campground running along side of Panther Creek. The sites are well spaced out and large. The bathrooms were well maintained. Bring your own water or jugs to be filled by a couple of pumps on site. The old Highway is perfect to bike on. We went to the waterfall located 4.8 miles from campground. Absolutely beautiful waterfall and hike. Our camp host never did evening check in or monitored the campground. It was fine but be careful of stupid people who drive super fast thru the campground. We saw a lot of young kids having fun on the gravel road not watching for drivers. Yes it’s a road but common sense says to go slow thru the campground.

Absolutely Love Panther Creek Campground. Sites are quiet and spaced far apart. Lots of room for 2 vehicles and 2 tents. Toilets were clean and didn't smell, overall great time!!

Love the space, surprisingly few insects for the proximity to water and everyone was far enough apart that we had little concern over nose; though everyone was quiet anyway. Vault toilets are better than expected and the nearby hikes are amazing, we'd have packed in more, but we only had a day and a half before we had to get to the Indian Heaven

Beautifully lush camp ground! Was maybe 2/3 full and still felt quiet and private. Loved being so close to the river. Bathrooms were SO clean. Met the camp host briefly and they were very nice. Would absolutely return.

Campsite clean on arrival. Bathroom about the cleanest one I have ever used. Of no fault of the host, the double site next to us was quite rowdy with teenage boys. We’ve camped in the same site for three years and this was the first time that noisy neighbors were a pain. But aside from these folks we loved our stay. Spent one entire day relaxing along Panther Creek, and spent 1/2 day hiking a section of the PCT that goes through the campground.
