About

Panther Flat Campground is a shady, secluded campground located in the vast Six Rivers National Forest in northern California, just steps from the pristine Smith River, famous for its bright blue waters and scenic forest pathway. Set in a mature forest of Douglas fir, cedar, and Pacific madrone trees, the campground is one of the most modern in the area with some of the largest parking aprons. The campground offers multiple single-family and at least one double site suitable for tent and RV camping, with facilities including tables, campfire rings with grills, accessible flush toilets, coin-operated hot showers, and drinking water. Popular activities include swimming, sunbathing, rafting, and fishing for salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout in the Smith River, as well as hiking, horseback riding, and biking. The campground is conveniently located within 20 miles of California's Redwood National Park and the Pacific Ocean, making it an ideal base for exploring the region's natural attractions.
