Panther Flat Campground Area Access provides vehicle and walk-in access to the Middle Fork Smith River via a short 3-minute trail from the campground to the Panther Flat Picnic Area, which features river viewing, two swimming holes (one with a sandy beach), and day-use facilities including grills and water.

The campground itself offers 38 sites with modern amenities including flush toilets, coin-operated hot showers, picnic tables, and fire rings, with sites available year-round at $15/night on a first-come, first-served or reservation basis.

Maximum vehicle length is 40 feet, and the location is situated about 50 feet above the river with easy highway access via Highway 199, making it a convenient base for paddling and swimming activities.
