What Guests Are Saying

Owen Creek campground offers a peaceful and scenic experience, with fewer ATVs this year and visits from wildlife like moose and bears. The host is praised for maintaining clean facilities, and the campground's small size adds to its charm. Some challenges were noted regarding campsite reservations and nearby dogs, but overall, visitors enjoyed their stay and appreciated the beautiful surroundings.

The garbage receptacles are WAY too small and the host has the larger one locked up.

Super convenient location right of the main road without all the noise. Campground sits behind a hill and overlooks the mountains across the valley so you are secluded but also a short drive from the pavement. Sites were nice and level, facilities were clean, and traffic was minimal. Overall a great place to get away!

Loved this campground. Our site faced the meadow where a Moose and baby ambled through, then an hour later was flooded by a very large herd of sheep.

I love this campground for the relative quiet & peace. And I was lucky enough to see moose (IN the campground), deer and elk. Was also treated to a pair of sandhill cranes returning to their nest each evening. Very relaxing place to be!

Always great to see the camp hosts waking the camp talking to the visitors. Super clean bathrooms and well run. We have stayed here before and we can’t wait to book for next summer.

The Owen Creek campground is beautiful and near a creek where the moose sometimes visit. Lots of great trails for dirt bikes or ATVs. Our site had several large trees for our hammock campers. One of our favorite destinations!
