Busy weekend but mid week nights were quiet and peaceful.

Been coming to Pass Creek for over 20 years. Always the same nice roomy camp spots / beautiful scenery / friendly camp hosts / best of all you can touch the stars at night.

The site itself is beautiful. We started in #9, and it was by far the largest and most leveled spot we saw in the campground. Reservoir is a short walk and the water was crystal clear. Found a nice spot to setup for the day 100 yards from the boat launch. Think we even got lucky that no motorized boats were allowed while we were there. Peaceful and serene site.

This was our 6th visit to pass creek. Its one of our favorites. This year there wasnt a host so campers noise levels were louder and past 10pm and the toilet paper in the bathrooms never got restocked so it ran out. The lake was amazing especially because no boats were allowed so it was a paddleboarding paradise. Campground definitely needs a host or the host from east meadow needs to make the rounds and stock the toilet paper.

Great Campground, very quiet, bathrooms are cleaned and stocked daily. There is no camp host at Pass Creek anymore and you have to drive over to another campground to see the host.Last two years the Forest service didnt provide locking clips on the large dumpsters which created a bear problem as they quickly learned they were not locked out of free food at night and left garbage strewn all over the campground. The poor hosts were great about getting it cleaned up but I felt sorry for them as a simple clip could have avoided the whole mess. Forest Service should be more attentive to their jobs to avoid this in the future.

Alabama Hills was full, we got in late. This was a great alternate.

@JefferySC3E01E · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #9

If you are tent camping this is the best spot, lots of room for multiple tents.

@JayE1427006 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #20

Very clean. The management staff does an awesome job.

@MabelN91B175BD · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #6

RESERVED AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!! As we arrived to our camp spot we were surprised that the spot had been taken by other family, thankfully I had reserved 3 spots but they refused to move and we were harassed to stay cramped up in 2 camp spots. Second day the same group of people told another family they wouldnt move and forced them to stay in camp 4 instead of #14. They kept walking into our campsite. The host was never there and this was nearly resolved with violence. They never moved out of site #5

The campground is fine. The problem is with Recreation .gov. The campground did not have potable water due to a pipe break caused by nearby logging operations. So, hydrants were not operational as well as bathrooms with sinks and flush toilets. They do not post this information when making a reservation. If you cancel the reservation upon learning of the campground issues, you will still surrender a healthy portion of your reservation fee. I would suggest that people contact Nevada Irrigation district for information on the campground prior to making a reservation.

I am woman who was solo tent camping. I felt safe. The campground and permanent restrooms were clean. As usual the blue porta potties were yucky! The bushes worked well for my needs at night. The fresh water had been shut off! Yikes! I did not come prepared for that! I should have been informed before arrival. The lake was great and and the sunset gorgeous!

@CheyenneG3D4FE · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #27

Nice campground. Beautiful lake. Cant wait to go back!

@LizC1438969 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #2

Close to the lake, quiet, spacious campsites!

@RichH4886792 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #26

clean and beautiful the whole time

@JeremyB2902799 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #12

Great, quiet, serene campsite. Site 12 and its surrounding is fully shaded but a little hilly.

@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #19

This camp ground was very nice bathrooms were clean and the camp site are good for smaller trucks and small boats fishing was good and the rain did not bother us as we were able to have a camp fire as others did das well

@RonaldG6254276 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #28

Great little campground! Not as large as East Meadows across Pass Creek, and that's a good thing. Felt quieter, sites are equally as large (though driveways are on average a bit shorter). Wouldn't recommend Class A in the campground proper, but there is an overflow area where folks set up with their Class A's and Toy Haulers. Bugs were present but manageable as of an early August 2023 visit.

@DustinC7739352 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #21

Pass Creek is a bit hit/miss when it comes to sites. Some are really nice, while some sites are not great at all. Some of the sites are even setup backwards, meaning couldn't back a trailer into them at all. (site 21 is a great example of this). In July 2023 there was a LOT of leftover dead branches and twigs covering almost every part of the ground. It would have been awesome to have that stuff raked out, especially around the fire pits. The table area in site 22 was on a hill and definitely not level. If you have a trailer, take serious note of the size of your particular site. You would never get a trailer and a vehicle to fit in sites 20/22. But other sites are pretty deep. Location wise, Pass Creek is great. It's a close walk to the boat ramp and beach. Bathrooms have real flushing toilets. Sinks were kinda broken and the women's room had several BLACK WIDOWS living in the restroom! With a little bit of effort put into maintenance, Pass Creek could be amazing. It just felt like other than chopping down a few trees, they aren't really keeping up on maintenance.

Love this place. End of the season so water was not potable but it was peaceful, there is no cell service ( bonus)!!! beautiful lake and adjacent to PCT for hiking

@EdwardB9523394 · Camped on Sep 29, 2022 at Campsite #20

Pleasant campground, but site #21 has no flat spot for a tent.

@DavidE7840041 · Camped on Sep 23, 2022 at Campsite #12

Cleaned and nice weather

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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
