No sites offered for these datesA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Princess Creek Campground sits on the shore of Odell Lake amid a mixed conifer forest of Douglas fir, white fir, hemlock and scattered ponderosa pines, with huckleberry and wildflowers in the understory and the massif of Diamond Peak (8,744 feet) visible across the water. The setting is dominated by the lake wide open water that welcomes both motorized and non-motorized boats and can develop strong afternoon winds that make a boat the most effective way to fish.











Length limits vary by campsite.

“Jennifer was a great camp host!”
Mark B ★ 3 · Oct 2025Road is pretty rough going in and out. Leveling a trailer/RV will be challenging. I didn't have enough blocks to level our trailer so I had a hard time sleeping. I had to back out of a pull through site because I couldn't avoid a stump due to the sharp turn. There are, however, several sites that are fairly flat and level. We got lucky. The weather was nearly perfect, the lake was calm and peaceful even with the occasional boat going by. Camp host was great and very accommodating. Overall this campground is very nice as long as you are ready for the challenges.
James G ★ 1 · Sep 2025Right on lake is nice. Right next to highway is not nice, loud. Really windy in evenings. Above all else, the road through campground is in terrible condition, you just have to crawl through it, taking forever and beating up your Truck. RV and/or trailer. Won't be back to this site, especially when paying so much and getting very little for it.
Michael H ★ 4 · Sep 2025Jennifer was a great camp host! She was kind and did a great job keeping the campground clean! We saw her twice this year, and both times were great. She even recognized us the 2nd time, which was welcoming. Bathrooms were very clean, however they definitely needed to be pumped before Labor Day. Contents were getting close to the opening.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,846 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
