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.

Number of accommodations: 27

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.

The campground was nice, bathrooms clean, and the site we got was great and decently secluded.

My 2-night stay at Spanish Creek lived up to the recommendation I had received that it is the best camp ground near Quincy. The location is exquisitely beautiful. The campground has a day use area that features a large swimming hole great for families, with a sandy beach, shady trees, a rope swing, and picnic tables. The campsites vary in size. All are close enough to the river. Several are right on the river with their own little private sandy beach access. A small walk down river and you will find a series of little white water rapids cascading into smaller water holes, perfect for taking cold plunges and then sitting and sunning on rocks.

One of the best features of Spanish Creek Campground is the camp manager, Jay Morris. I've never met a camp ranger more committed to helping campers have the best possible camp experience!

A very relaxed campsite beautiful area. The only reason it wasn't excellent was there was hardly toilet paper in the bathroom luckily I bring my own.

This was a great spot. We had three campsites near each other for our group of about 16 (we were gonna cancel to only have two sites but it was really nice having the extra space). The waterhole was beautiful, our group swam and even did morning polar plunges. It was a bit confusing when we arrived as we weren’t sure if we needed to check in somewhere but the sites had our names on it so we just went and set up. The camp host came around and checked in a few times over the days we were there. The only thing is bring cash for paying for extra parking and firewood etc. it’s kinda a put cash in the box/trust system. The sites were great and the bathrooms were well kept. The only problem was I think someone decided to toss their fish extras into one of the toilets so about halfway through that toilet smelt like tuna but nothing the camp could do about that. Also it’s really close to the Twain General Store and they have decision sandwiches and more so if you want to grab some food or little things it’s not far at all. We plan to come back next year!

Our campsite was adequate. It had good shade and was a little bit isolated from the rest of the campground. You have to park in the street in front of the site as there is no room to pull a car into the campsite itself. There is enough room for 5 - 6 person tent but nothing larger. You can access the stream from the site by walking a bit through some dense vegetation. But you are not on the river itself. Enjoyed the day use area for swimming and rope swing into the water. Nearby Quincy was a cute little town. Local Hikes from All Trails were also good. Spanish Ridge Route. The upper loop was far from the stream but the sites were 10x nicer...paved...larger...recently remodeled. Most of the campsites this weekend had way more than people in them than the allotted max they say can stay in each site. Which degraded the experience. The folks next to us had their generator on 14+ hours per day which also degraded the experience.

We could not get into the campground with our rig and had to go down the road and camp on the side of the road. The entrance was full of heavy equipment and trucks and blocked off for construction and there was no way to safely get in . The campground should have been closed at that time. We want our money refunded.

A quiet, clean place. NO complaints. Our new 'Go To.'
The host is also helpful, positive, and that just adds to our experience.
