"We set up camp with our hammocks practically over the river. Relatively easy walk from the vehicle allowed us to portage in a nice fire pit and things you wouldn't normally include at a primitive campsite. With the river babbling by and the stars shining brightly over our hammocks, our practically exclusive use of the woods and stream, combined with the fall colors during the day, this was easily the prettiest spot we've ever camped for our annual men's group trip. We'd normally have to hike for hours to get these types of conditions. Don't count on using your cell phone from the moment you leave the paved road! There is no service at all, which also added to the experience."
"The entrance to the campground is a little further than what Google says. Ruts in the road will require a high clearance vehicle. There is water close by but not at the campgrounds."
"Also known as Panther Falls! The entrance to the Falls are half way down, not where Maps sends you. Be careful driving down the path! It's a long way down if u go off the road! So beautiful here! I could get lost on this mountain and be happy! Can't wait to utilize the campsites!"
"Free national forest primitive camping. Drive in on panther falls road, park and walk the trail for close by hike in camping near the river and falls, or drive past that then turn left down the road for a few drive in camp spots."
"Please pack out more than you packed in...You can walk to Panther Falls from here and there is room for 20+ camp sites. I take a 30' trailer and it is a bit tight. Good level area great for group camping."
