Campsites were clean with nice views. I wish Recreation.gov had given us an indication when we reserved the site that this campground was located in a very popular motorized recreation area. The number of ATVs buzzing down the Owen Creek Road was incredible--lots of noise and dust. I wouldn't recommend this campground if you are looking for a quiet recreation experience.

Small Intimate campground

A very pretty place. I did need to shovel out the fire pit because it was almost full of old ash.

We had a gorgeous site. Enjoyed the nights we were there very much. We didn't see the camp hosts at all and wondered if they were there. Fortunately, we didn't need anything. We will most definitely consider staying at Owen Creek CG again.

Nice site! Wildlife wanders through the campsite.

@SCOTTJ1075439 · Camped on Aug 16, 2022 at Campsite #4

Campsites are a little close together but a nice stop. I saw moose, elk and a bear in one day.

@MattU5709119 · Camped on Jul 14, 2022 at Campsite #4

Nice quiet, clean, campground.

@LukeM4451145 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #4

Great place to camp! There is dispersed camping further up the road that creates a bit of traffic past Owen Creek campground but the dust wasn’t bad. The camp hosts do a wonderful job of keeping the campground clean and the vault toilets as good as they can be. 🙂

Unable to cancel site because of no presents by campground host.

@LanaP5334032 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #7

No campground host available. Wanted to cancel one of our sites not able to because of their absence.

@RhondaW3133732 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #3

The garbage receptacles are WAY too small and the host has the larger one locked up.

@AnitaM9743809 · Camped on Jun 20, 2022 at Campsite #6

Good campsite, quite campground. Campground hosts were not there the 6 nights we stayed.

@JakeG4102721 · Camped on Jun 14, 2022 at Campsite #6

Super convenient location right of the main road without all the noise. Campground sits behind a hill and overlooks the mountains across the valley so you are secluded but also a short drive from the pavement. Sites were nice and level, facilities were clean, and traffic was minimal. Overall a great place to get away!

@DrewM3440031 · Camped on Sep 17, 2021 at Campsite #1

Good experience. Camp host was very accommodating.

Good experience. Camp host was very accommodating.

@LynnR780 · Camped on Aug 28, 2021 at Campsite #3

Loved this campground. Our site faced the meadow where a Moose and baby ambled through, then an hour later was flooded by a very large herd of sheep.

@DanaJ881 · Camped on Aug 14, 2021 at Campsite #4

I love this campground for the relative quiet & peace. And I was lucky enough to see moose (IN the campground), deer and elk. Was also treated to a pair of sandhill cranes returning to their nest each evening. Very relaxing place to be!

@ScottM281 · Camped on Aug 11, 2021 at Campsite #3

Nice spot, very clean campground, nice and efficient camp hosts.

@TaraK956 · Camped on Jul 9, 2021 at Campsite #3

Always great to see the camp hosts waking the camp talking to the visitors. Super clean bathrooms and well run. We have stayed here before and we can’t wait to book for next summer.

@MaryA682 · Camped on Jul 2, 2021 at Campsite #4

The Owen Creek campground is beautiful and near a creek where the moose sometimes visit. Lots of great trails for dirt bikes or ATVs. Our site had several large trees for our hammock campers. One of our favorite destinations!

@CharS623 · Camped on Sep 16, 2020 at Campsite #3

Great stay at a small campground. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

@CherylH731 · Camped on Aug 21, 2020 at Campsite #3

Beautiful little campground. The creek is not visible from the campsites. Somewhat annoying that there is ORV noise and dust from the dirt road into the campsite. Campground is well kept and it was perfect for an overnight stop.

@JohannahT443 · Camped on Aug 12, 2020 at Campsite #4

Great spot. Nice small quiet campground. Close to lodges for ATV rentals. Clean bathrooms. Great Host.

@PaulaR361 · Camped on Jul 18, 2020 at Campsite #3

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
