Spanish Creek Campground

Beautiful campground. Swimming in the creek steps away. I actually like the train that comes through during the night. Camp host kept the bathrooms clean & stocked. All of the sites were clean & well kept. My only thing (which isn't anyone's fault) is the bees are bad.

Pretty good hang out at the river.

This is our favorite campground because usually the facilities are well maintained and we enjoy the swimming hole at the creek and the family friendly atmosphere.

This year there were massive amounts of wasps. My mom & I both got stung twice, so I recommend being prepared for that.

We spent a great few days lounging and swimming. Everything was perfect. Camp host Jay was helpful and friendly. Can’t wait for our next trip!

The area was fine and fellow campers were respectful. We had issue with the host that was basically non-existent. We went 2 days without toilet paper in either upper loop toilet. The host does not stock firewood (fine) and when asked where we could get some, he said he didn't know. Turns out, it was 20 min away in Quincy, where we had just driven through. The ashes in our fire pit were so high, we felt it was unsafe to use it until we removed a garbage bag full of it after making sure it was all cold. Not sure what he was really doing, to be honest. We never talked to him after asking about firewood during our 5 night stay. So, bring firewood, toilet paper, and maybe a shovel.

I don't understand why this site (loop 2, space 13) has received such good reviews. This is not a good campsite. It's located down in a gully/ravine and the entire site is overgrown with weeds, tall grass, and brush. So much so that I had to hand-pull the high grass around the fire pit or it would have been a fire hazard! The only spot for the tent is on a slope and it's next to a very rocky path (this might be to direct a seasonal stream that runs through the campsite? Otherwise I don't know why those rocks are there, right in the way of walking) that you have to be careful not to trip on. This site is called a riverside site, however, the path to the river was completely overgrown with tall brush, weeds, and grass so thick that we had to use a shovel to hack away the brush so we could get through it! The only redeeming quality to this site is that it is set off a ways from the other campsites, and so it is more private, and that was a huge plus to me. Once we hacked our way through the brush and made our way to the river, we found a nice little private spot on the river to fish, and caught some rainbow trout! This site is good for a couple of people who want privacy and a private spot on the river to fish, if you don't mind the slope for your tent and the overgrowth and having to hack your way through thick brush while carrying your fishing gear and chair, etc. The other campsites on loop 2 were right next to the camp road - I don't know why anyone would want to camp right next to a road, especially in a tent. All in all, the campsite was not maintained well but it's redeeming quality is the privacy and finding that private spot on the river to fish.

Clean, plenty of amenities, and overall very peaceful experience

Always a great camp spot

My recent stay at Spanish Creek was really lovely, but I have to say I was really surprised at how few people were at the campground. At least half the sites were unoccupied every night of my stay even though the sites were marked reserved. Also, the bathrooms were either completely out or nearly out the first couple days of my stay. I arrived on a Thursday, roving camp hosts didn't restock TP until Saturday, so definiely bring your own toilet paper! The reservation email states, 'Firewood Bundles are available for purchase from a Campground Host.' but when I saw the camp hosts they did not have firewood, so bring your own firewood too! You can buy firewood at Safeway just 10 minutes away in Quincy.

Beautiful site with multiple ways to access the river. Gorgeous
