Spanish Creek Campground

Spanish Creek Campground offers a quintessential wilderness experience nestled along the banks of Spanish Creek. Located at the scenic confluence where Banish and Indian Creeks merge into the North Fork Feather River, this site is a hidden gem for those looking to escape into nature. The area is particularly famous for its popular swimming hole, making it a refreshing destination during warmer months, while the nearby Feather River provides excellent opportunities for anglers seeking rainbow trout.

This is a primitive, year-round federal site managed by the USFS, perfect for campers who appreciate a back-to-basics approach. The grounds are equipped with essential amenities, including vault toilets and fire rings for evening gatherings. Because it remains a rustic environment, it is best suited for tent campers and self-sufficient RV travelers who prefer a quiet, natural setting over modern resort-style hookups.

Positioned at an elevation of 3,188 feet, the campground retains a nostalgic, historic charm despite recent site upgrades. Whether you are looking to spend your days casting a line in the water or simply relaxing by the creek, Spanish Creek provides a peaceful, accessible base for your next Northern California adventure.
