Campground was very clean, the restrooms didn't even smell which is a big difference compared to other places we've camped at. Angela, the host, was very informative and my family felt a lot safer with her around. Thank you for this wonderful experience:)

@DeborahK860315 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #22

Wonderful campground. Spacious, quiet and lots to explore. Host was friendly too!!

Panther Creek is a really nice, woodsy campground. The sites that we have stayed at are separated enough that they are quiet and private and they are well maintained. The creek itself is fun for fly fishing, but don't expect anything over about eight inches. Of course, that could just be the limit of my fishing skills, your mileage may vary.

Nice campground, most sites are fairly large with good privacy.

Nice campground. Close to Portland. Beautiful falls nearby

@JanetA3115325 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #28

Camp Host and Cooper Camp kitty are the best! Beautiful forested campground along Panther creek. Most sites have good distance and vegetation for privacy. Was there for Memorial weekend and it was nice and quiet.

@JenB2333104 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #14

We love this camp. Its absolutely beautiful here. Small, clean, quiet. Lots of little trails to explore near the creek, and waterfalls nearby. Angela is a wonderful camp host. Dont skip on Backwoods Brewery in Carson for your growler fill!

@BobL4821699 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #4

Loved the campground, secluded in the woods, and the camp host was fantastic. But be aware that you need to fill up the tank on your camper at the campground on the river if you have a camper, all they have is hand pumps at the site.

Panther Creek is a beautiful campground. It's a little off the beaten path, and was not super crowded. The setting is really ideal, and the creek can be heard from any of the campsites. Angela, the campground host, was very friendly and helpful. And up the road about 5 miles is a short trail to Panther Creek Falls, which is well-worth the visit. The only issue we had was that our first spot was too shaded for our rooftop solar panel to keep our DC fridge going, but we moved to another open, sunnier spot, and all was well. Can't wait to go back.

One of our favorite campgrounds. We had the creek right across from our campsite and loved it. The Camp Hosts are very helpful and kind. Bathrooms were always kept clean. Can't wait to return.

@ShirleeJ4076F3 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #23

This is a beautiful campground! Clean and quiet and comfortable.

@JimF2202636 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #16

This is our go to place for camping. Have always enjoyed ourselves here. For us its only about an hour away from home snd It puts us right where we like to go, Fishing at several lakes, Hiking, snd exploring the Indian Heaven Wilderness area and other surrounding places.

@JessM4454440 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #7

The sites are all enclosed with trees and you don't easily see or here the other sites unless you are on the road. There are some great spots on the water and plenty of area to walk in camp. I liked not having cell service too. The PCT runs right through camp so you can easily hike some if you want. I will for sure go back.

Grand daughter from NYC had a great time there

@SusanL2820892 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #22

Beautiful campground, well-maintained, toilets very clean, host was great. Each site was pretty spacious and nicely situated in the trees. Creek nearby is fun to explore & picturesque.

@LebnyP013C48C1 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #3

Had a nice mostly private camp site. River is near by. No water faucet.

@JoshG3191680 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #25

It was perfect

@WhitneyP2D70D5 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #26

Early season stay, campground was in great shape and host is friendly, organized and knowledgeable. Since there are not very many sites in this campground it stays pretty quiet and the sites are very spread out, you're not super close to another site.

@JessicaB446666 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #6

Amazing camping spot!! The hosts are so nice and accommodating. Its also a very clean/quiet area and lastly its very close to panther falls and other hiking destinations. Overall very fun camping experience.

@MarkP6983494 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #11

Camp sites are well separated. Very private. Good location, just outside of Carson. Well kept. Clean bathrooms.

@SarahK3888645 · Camped on Aug 30, 2023 at Campsite #4

Such a great campground. I loved the easy access to Carson. Check out Panther Creek Falls if you're looking for an awesome hike in the area. Also highly recommend Backwoods Brewery if you're into that scene!

@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #12

The campground is very well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean and didn't smell bad at all, fully stocked with TP. The one water well pump was broken but the other one had the best tasting water I've had in a long time. Would defenitely stay here again.

@LeighAB6EA6180 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #12

Lovely campground with big, mostly private sites. Could be improved with more trash cans, ideally at the toilets.

@SarahB5025907 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #14

This campground was clean, peaceful, and private. Each site had a good amount of space between, so even though the campground was full it felt like we had ample privacy in our space.

@Salvatore0D21E · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #26

It was great

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
