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.

Owen Creek campground was much quieter than it was in the past. Fewer ATVs this year. Had moose and a bear visit our camp site. Great time. We had Starlink with internet and wi-fi calling.
