Spanish Creek Campground

HIGHWAY 70 AT SPANISH CREEK
QUINCY, CA 95971

Overview

Spanish Creek Campground is located on Highway 70 just east of the Highway 89 intersection; just east of where Banish Creek and Indian Creek merge together to create the east branch of the North Fork Feather River. The campground is right on Spanish Creek with a very popular swimming hole. 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 Spanish Creek are also popular for swimming and wading activities.

Facilities

Spanish Creek campground offers several single-family campsites that accommodate both tent and RV camping, however hookups are not 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. Spanish Creek is in the Feather River Canyon, at an elevation of 2,000 feet.

Nearby Attractions

Within the Plumas National Forest, Spanish Creek campground is just a few short miles from Indian Falls. This is one attraction not to miss. Some have said that the mist created by the falls resembles a feather -- thus naming the Feather River. Just southeast on Highway 70 from Spanish Creek Campground is the quaint high Sierra town of Quincy. We recommend walking around the town if you get a chance. Very close to the campground is the Butterfly Valley Botanical Area. This is also a neat spot to explore. Before you get to the town of Quincy you will pass the Mount Hough Ranger District - a wonderful stop to discover more information about local area attractions.

Spacious sites, a lovely creek, and trains (which I loved) Spanish Creek Campground, just outside Quincy, was a great stay. The sites are spacious and well spread out, so you're not crammed in or on top of your neighbors. Spanish Creek runs along the bottom of the campground, which is a lovely backdrop. The hosts were friendly and the whole place was very clean. One thing to know before you book: a railroad runs right through, and trains pass three or four times a night. They're long and they're loud. It didn't bother me at all because I like trains, but if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs or plan around it. Overall, a beautiful, well-kept campground, and I'd happily come back.

Such a beautiful campsite! Definitely recommend the spots by the river. Expect to not have service! Seems like a busy campground, we unfortunately encountered a lot of trash which was super unfortunate. They provide tons of trash cans, so do your part and pick up the trash. Things to do: go mountain biking!!! Expect to hear the train pass through at least 4-5 times during the night. Visited in sept and still deep slow moving water in the creek!

The campground is in a great location and has a really good swing hole. Unfortunately, the trains keep you up all night. I suggest they use for this site.
