About Paradise Creek Campground

Paradise Creek sits at the confluence of Paradise Creek and the Wind River, nestled under an old-growth forest of cedars, firs, alder and maples. The sites by the river enjoy privacy from an abundance of lush undergrowth, while the other sites have a more open and spacious feel. The campground's remote location is ideal for campers seeking a quiet and relaxed environment.

We love this campground for the 4th of July! Our poor pups are always our first concern when it comes to safety around this holiday as they HATE fireworks. Thank you so much for providing such a clean, peaceful and well taken care of (and monitored) campsite. Very refreshing and always friendly!!

The campground toilets and camp sites were very clean. The camp host was wonderful. We enjoyed campfires and the convenient wood available to purchase ($10 per bundle).

We did find it odd there was limited public access to Paradise Creek from the campground without walking through some one's camp. We brought water, as we found out the water pump water is not desirable.

The campground was great. Sites were spaced appropriately and the host was helpful and welcoming. We received a few hiking suggestions from the camp host and loved them all!
