My fiancé and I love this park. We have played disc golf and also have hiked some trails and have done some trail running. Great park to visit with family or by yourself for a relaxing walk to refresh the mind.

Loved this campground!! We took a little vacation from PA and visited Panther Creek state park for a week in June. Beautiful campground. Tons of deer. The disc golf course is awesome and will definitely get the heart pumping. We had some rain while we were there and we just so happened to be at the bottom of the hill. Facilities were always so clean and kept at a nice 71 degrees. Water was ho... Loved this campground!! We took a little vacation from PA and visited Panther Creek state park for a week in June. Beautiful campground. Tons of deer. The disc golf course is awesome and will definitely get the heart pumping. We had some rain while we were there and we just so happened to be at the bottom of the hill. Facilities were always so clean and kept at a nice 71 degrees. Water was hot also. So glad we picked this campground and we will try to go back sometime.

General Impression: Small, quaint campground with plenty of green room but limited access for big rigs. Cost $47.50 Value: 4 This State Park packs a lot of value for the nightly rate. Campground: Some of the campsites are tight even for microvan parking. There are a few that accommodate large rigs; however, the loop can be a little tricky to maneuver through when the campground is full due to lim... General Impression: Small, quaint campground with plenty of green room but limited access for big rigs. Cost $47.50 Value: 4 This State Park packs a lot of value for the nightly rate. Campground: Some of the campsites are tight even for microvan parking. There are a few that accommodate large rigs; however, the loop can be a little tricky to maneuver through when the campground is full due to limited overflow parking. The campground is one loop situated on a hill with trails into the park area and 2 picnic pavilions with bathhouses inside the loop. Because of the layout, some of the campsites naturally have more room than others. Campsite # 34 Campsites asphalt pads with grass surrounding them. All sites are back in. Most campsites needed some leveling blocks but all had full hookups 50 & 30 #thifty. Each site has a picnic table, a grill, and a fire ring. No propane fill, but Tractor Supply is about 4.5 miles away. They have a dump station located near the ranger station/camp store with $5 fee for non-campers. Wifi: yes Campground: 18 Mbps down / 3.9 Mbps up Starlink: 86 Mbps down/ 3.75 Mbps up Verizon: 19.7 Mbps down/ 0.8 Mbps up Noise Level: This campground is surrounded by park and backed up to the Cherokee Reservoir so it is very quiet and has little light pollution as well. Amenities: 9 individual bathrooms with large showers and air conditioners in each room that automatically turns on as you enter to regulate the temperature. Bathrooms are cleaned daily and it shows! They look and smell so clean! Dumpster easily located at the front of the park entrance. Laundry: 2 washer and dryers – one set at each bathhouse and $2.00 to wash or dry. Unfortunately the large pool is permanently closed. No playground in the campground but there is a large playground in the state park. Other facilities: walking and horse-riding trails, basketball, volleyball, tennis, frisbee golf course, and a boat access to the Cherokee Reservoir. Dog friendly: No off-leash area or pickup stations, but plenty of trails and green area to walk the pups and trash cans for poop bag disposal at the pavilions. Camp store: A small store with a few essentials available during afternoon/early evening hours. Walmart is only 3.5 miles away. Camp staff interactions: Didn’t really have much interactions with camp staff. Because we made our reservations online and paid ahead we were able to go directly to our campsite and set up. But we saw staff cleaning and mowing around the area and they seemed pleasant and approachable.

Beautiful campgrounds. Very quiet. Bathrooms were kept cleaned and well stocked. Bonus that each bathroom was private with its own toilet, sink, and shower. Mostly RV campers so waiting for a bathroom was never an issue. Campgrounds were next to multiple trails and a small creek that kids explored. Dog friendly campsites with plenty of space to put up a run. Dog waste bags and receptacles located... Beautiful campgrounds. Very quiet. Bathrooms were kept cleaned and well stocked.

Campgrounds were next to multiple trails and a small creek that kids explored. Dog friendly campsites with plenty of space to put up a run. Dog waste bags and receptacles located throughout the park. There was a pavilion with picnic tables closest to the bathrooms on the campgrounds as well as an additional pavilion we saw close to the trails entraces. There was a small camp store near the campgrounds entrance in addition to another campsite selling wood. We loved it and will definitely be returning.
