What campers say

Panther Creek Campground sits in a thick forested setting with trails to the water and access to nearby waterfalls (Panther Falls is about 4 to 5 miles away). Many visitors praise the peaceful, nature-focused atmosphere and lack of cell service for disconnecting. The paved campground has roughly 34 sites, vault toilets, and generally clean facilities. Hosts are attentive—some guests find them friendly and informative while others describe strict rule enforcement that can limit late-night group activities. Sites vary in size (some tight for larger RVs) and few are right on the creek; expect occasional storm blowdown and seasonal bugs.
