Paradise Creek is a wonderful little campground in a truly beautiful place! We appreciated being able to easily access the creek and the river to splash around and cool off in. The bathrooms leave a lot to be desired though. I've stayed in many other campgrounds in this area with pit toilets so thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. The flies and yellow jackets are swarming everywhere, the floors are sticky and there's no hand sanitizer in any of the bathrooms. I'm just grateful that the toilet paper got replaced every day. Not ideal for camping with kids but we made it work!

Great place to camp. Quiet, just far enough away from town to be in the "wilderness" and close enough to get back if needed. The camp attendant was super helpful and a highly experienced woodsman.

Peaceful, beautiful and very well kept campground. It’s worth the extra push to go here from Beaver or Panther Creek Campgrounds. We landed on a Wednesday afternoon and there were plenty of FCFS spots but by Friday early they were booked. We had the perfect spot along the creek which aloud for our own private little oasis. There’s a couple trails to explore right from the campground that were fun. Having no cell service was a bonus! Jason the camp host is a very knowledgeable nice guy and has his version of “google” and “google maps” which was super helpful.

Lovely campground, very peaceful. Actually saw several owls! Also, perhaps the best camp host we’ve encountered. Helpful, made available a bunch of his own maps and books, and super friendly. Bathrooms were very clean and shockingly not smelly for vault toilets
