Friendly staff, clean facilities, and many activities for kids and adults. Check-in was easy. The lake is beautiful and most sites are tree-covered and private. Pets are allowed in the cabins (a huge plus). We stayed in a rustic cabin and it was perfect, with an individual water spigot (no sharing!). The store is well stocked (ice cream and coffee were a bonus!). Crowds make me uncomfortable, so I actually appreciate the no visitors rule. Some cabins are very close together and between RVs (I'm glad ours wasn't). Our favorite campground closed down last year but we’ve found our new yearly family campground!
Panther Lake Camping Resort is truly a gem for anyone who enjoys the outdoors but still appreciates comfort and convenience. The grounds are well-maintained, with plenty of space for both RVs and tents, and the sites feel private while still being part of a friendly community atmosphere.
The lake itself is beautiful—perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just sitting back and relaxing with a view. The amenities are top-notch for a campground, with clean restrooms, well-kept showers, and plenty of recreational options like mini golf, a pool, and organized activities for families.
What really sets Panther Lake apart is how family-friendly it is. Kids have endless things to do, and adults can either join in the fun or simply enjoy some peace and quiet by the water. The staff is welcoming and attentive, making sure everyone has a good experience.
If you’re looking for a balance between rustic camping and resort-style comfort, Panther Lake delivers in every way. It’s the kind of place you visit once and immediately start planning your next trip back.
I went with family. 4 adults 1 child. We loved it for the get go. The ladies at the camp store were always happy AND happy to help. Whenever i walked in they were helping someone cracking jokes, listening being patient or whatever was needed by the customer.
The cabin was amazing, well kept ( found some spider webs), but otherwise clean and cozy. The beds were hard but not uncomfortable. My brother in law suffers from back pain and slept comfortably.
The other campers were sweet adding to the atmosphere a sense of community. It was peaceful. My daughter made many friends.
Sadly im horrible with names so did not get the ladies from the camp store but two gentlemen came to my rescue. George or (Jorge) and Danny. I dropped some things in the slit of the porch. I stopped one of the workers (Jorge) and he told me he'd return and he did and brought a friend (Danny). Jorge went under the porch and Danny cracked the jokes.
Overall a great vibe and an awesome experience.
Budget wise not horrible about $200 a weekend per adult ( four of us) The theme was christmas in july so that was fun, the pool, the lake (beach) so much to see and explore!
Hope to be back next year!
The only downside is that instead of a deposit its 100% payment upfront at time of reservation. Which wont be reunded at all after a cut off date. Which can be off putting specially if youve never been before. But again, glad we went with it.
I have been RV camping for 32 years. My wife and I have stayed at Panther Lake Campground about 5 times in the past without complaint.We prevously enjoyed the large hot tub at this resort. The new owners have removed the hot tub. Also the resort has a no visitors policy. My MotorHome can sleep up to 8 poeple. We only had two campers this time.The resort refused to allow day visitors. We actually live close to this campground and some friends wanted to visit us as frequently happens at campvrounds.The management refused any visitors.These arbitrary rules and unfortunate changes will keep me from comming back. The staff here was generally nice and helpful overall.
