About Spanish Creek Campground

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.

What Guests Are Saying

Spanish Creek Campground offers a beautiful location with great access to a swimming hole and nearby attractions like the Butterfly Valley Botanical Area. Campers appreciate the friendly and helpful hosts, clean facilities, and a peaceful environment, especially in the upper loop with more privacy. However, the loud trains nearby can be a significant drawback for those sensitive to noise, and some facilities, like restrooms, could use more frequent maintenance.

Great location! Close to many nearby lakes in the area. Upper loop sites are more secluded and have less foot traffic than the lower loop which is closer to the stream. Everyone was respectful of quiet hours. The site itself wasn't super private, but everyone was very friendly.

I really enjoyed our stay there. Yes, the train is loud, and some trains are longer than others. BUT, it is temporary, and it is truly very quiet when the train is not running. My husband and I really enjoyed our time in site 17. It was close to the river, but we didn't get the mosquitoes too bad. We were close enough to the bathroom, but not so bad we got the smell. There was plenty of room for us to back up our small trailer and have 2 vehicles. There is only a neighbor on 1 side, so we felt like we had more privacy. There were about 2 hours mid day where the sun beat down pretty hard and wasn't a bunch of shade, but this is also a great time to put your feet in the water. Shallow enough to walk out in. There are little water snakes and craw dads to keep the kids entertained. A friend caught several fish while he was fly fishing in the afternoon. Will definitely check for this spot again.

The upper loop is well shaded and the sights felt fairly private with vegetation between them. The tables and fire pits are on pavement and the driveways fairly level. The lower loop (by the creek) has a lot more cleared space and the tables and fire pits are on dirt.

Stayed in Group site B, it’s a nice site. Can only really fit about 3 cars there. We had a small trailer and RV. It’s on a slope. Nice quiet campsite. It is far from the water, 2 minute drive by car all down hill or about a 10 minute walk down hill.

Great campground! Very pretty, easy river access on a (rocky) beach for swimming, clean bathrooms, firewood bundles are $10 from the host. Bring your own drinking water though, the spigots are nasty. You can see and definitely hear the trains but they didn't bother us sleeping, and they're cool! We loved site 13, easily the best and most private site in the lower loop. It's set well back from the road, far enough that we couldn't see or hear the next campsite, and faces the river and nature. There's an overgrown path from this site to the water. Good flat spaces for two tents. Car must be parked on the road a few yards away from the campsite.

TRAINS! TRAINS! TRAINS! The trains are very active all day and all night long. The tracks are not far from the sites. The camp hosts this year were non-existent, for the 4 days we were there we never once saw them. The one bathroom open was a mess and TP in short supply. Quincy is close by for any forgotten items and there is a dump station at the RV park. Fishing was disappointing to say the least.

Extremely loud trains all night. The proximity was not noted in the campsite information. No potable water, no shower. The site itself was very small, with no real tent site and we had to pitch our tent in asphalt.
