North Fork Campground (Plumas)

Overview

North Fork Campground is located on Highway 70 just east of the Highway 89 intersection; just east of where Spanish Creek and Indian Creek merge together to create the east branch of the North Fork Feather River. Although the campground has been recently upgraded, it still holds the charm that it did in years past.

Recreation

Anglers enjoy a healthy supply of rainbow trout in the nearby Feather River, which is within walking distance from the campground. The river and nearby North Fork are also popular for swimming and wading activities.

Facilities

North Fork Campground offers several single-family campsites that accommodate both tent and RV camping, however hookups are available. 

Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets and drinking water are also provided. A full-service store, gas and phone service is available less than 10 miles away.

Natural Features

This campground is located in the Plumas National Forest, which is attractive to outdoor enthusiasts because of its many streams and lakes, beautiful deep canyons, rich mountain valleys, meadows, and lofty peaks. North Fork is in the Feather River Canyon, at an elevation of 2,000 feet.

This is such a beautiful campground! There are 4 sites with electric! I think there is about 20 sites. There is about 10 sites that are right next the river! They have nice bathrooms along with showers! The showers are a bit pricey!

I've been coming to this campground for more than 50 years and have really appreciated all the amenity improvements over the years. This year, I really appreciated the campground host, Larry. He was very friendly and checked on us a couple of times each day and offered us help if we needed it. He did a great job maintaining the bathroom and showers (much appreciated!) and just overall, made our stay more pleasant. We were very comfortable,.

Campground was clean and well cared for. Host was friendly. Nice sites on the water. Sadly most of the shoreline is eroded. The little beach for the campground is cute.

Have been going to this campground for over 30 years, long before paved roads, showers, etc. The fires got very close a couple years ago, so the cool canopy and underbrush is virtually gone, leaving very dry and unwelcoming campsites. Being June, the river was roaring and very high….the small swimming hole near the entrance was completely under water. Only 3 sites were occupied, one by the host, who was very nice, and he had plenty of firewood. After having lunch at the campsite we had reserved, I decided to find another place to go.
