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.

Very pleasant and clean forest campground. Close to mountain bike tracks and hiking trails at Old Man Pass, and close enough to Carson to drop in for pizza and beer. Most of the outward-facing sites are very private and spectacular.

The campground attendant was so fantastic and accommodating. I accidentally booked my campground for the wrong date, he worked with me to get everything straightened out. No service with ATT but the attendant gave me very good directions for us to get to some cell reception so we could map our hike and route.

The stay was fantastic! I spent one night in our roof tent, and my Subaru Crosstrek fit perfectly in the designated space. The campgrounds were thoughtfully laid out, offering plenty of distance between sites for a peaceful and private experience. This was in September. It booked really fast.

A hidden gem in the PNW! A beautiful campground with large trees, and each site felt very roomy and spread out amongst each other which was great. A big loop meant space for bikes/walking/etc. Creek access and very limited noise disruption despite being close-ish to the HWY. Would highly recommend!
