Six Rivers/Panther Flat

Fabulous campground. Sites are nicely separated. If you can get a spot closest to the river, you’ll have less road noise and more sounds of the river. It even has showers but bring quarters.

Came here in 2024, had a lovely, lovely time. The site is clean, the showers are hot, and the location is divine. But we visited again this year and had a drastically different experience. We stayed Tues-Monday. The only day that didn't have hours, literally hours, of noise coming from a gas-powered leaf blower was Sunday. It echoed through the campground making it hard to hold a conversation. It drove us out of our campsite to seek peace elsewhere on more than one day. When it happened Wed-Fri, I thought maybe they were preparing for the weekend but it happened Saturday morning too starting at 9am. I go camping for peace and quiet of the wilderness, not endure the fluctuating roar of a 90 decibel leaf blower for hours on end. Sad to say, we won't be returning because I won't risk our much anticipated vacation being ruined by this nuisance again.

Excellent, well maintained National Forest campground near the Smith River. Clean restrooms with pay shower. Some sites will accommodate an RV up to 30 feet, such as our 30' travel trailer. The current hosts worked hard at keeping the campground nice. My only minor complaint is that I wish they allowed reservations all year, as our trailer length makes planning ahead often less stressful.

We really enjoyed our stay at Panther Flat Campground. The swimming hole on the Smith River is deep and water is very cold. Very refreshing to take a swim in. The campground itself is very clean and well taken care of. Campground has showers available and the bathrooms are well maintained. The sites have a good amount of space and are separated enough between campers that you feel like your not camping right on top of another site. Be mindful that at certain times there are fire bans in effect and this means no campfire or charcoal bbq’s. Overall I highly recommend this campground for a family vacation spot.

Quiet and you do not have to have a reservation. Best of all is it is right by the river. Beautiful!!

This is a beautiful campground. There is a picnic area in the vicinity that is right next to the river. Watch out for the poison oak though because it's everywhere along the river.

Pretty nice. Parking and bathrooms (pit toilet), and easy river access. Plenty of camping sites. The kids and dogs loved it. Nice swimming holes.

Camp host April and her husband were friendly, restrooms and showers (need quarters) were always clean and well stocked. Great location with sites not too close to each other for some privacy. Will definitely come again!!

Very clean, peaceful, and fairly quiet. By 9:30pm there was only the wind and the river to be heard. Restrooms were very clean and modern. Camp spaces were roomy and separated so there was a sense of privacy. Camp host was present and readily available. Beautiful campground over all. This stay was unplanned, but Panther Flats could become a planned stop, even a destination visit in the future.

Nice place to camp. Lots of trees to help keep it cool on hot days. Good swimming hole pretty crowded but nice for swimming. They need to develop another trail the the first swimming hole could not find a way to it. The trail was washed out. Was a bummer no running water other than the flush toilets this season but the camp host had a large tank of water we could fill our containers with.
