North Fork Campground (Plumas)

Nestled near the confluence of Spanish and Indian Creeks, North Fork Campground offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Plumas National Forest. Located just off Highway 70, this federal campground sits at an elevation of 2,421 feet, providing a serene setting where the rushing waters of the North Fork Feather River are always within walking distance. While the site has received recent upgrades, it retains its classic, rustic charm, making it an ideal destination for those looking to unplug and reconnect with nature.

This primitive campground is best suited for campers who enjoy a back-to-basics experience. Facilities are limited to essential amenities, including vault toilets and fire rings at each site. Because there are no hookups available, it is a perfect spot for tent campers and self-sufficient RV travelers looking for a quiet, natural basecamp.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy, particularly anglers who can take advantage of the healthy population of rainbow trout in the nearby river. Whether you are passing through the region or planning a dedicated trip to explore the Feather River canyon, North Fork provides an accessible and scenic year-round destination.
