Spanish Creek Campground

I really like this place. It was a boy scout camp I went to for a couple of years back in the early 60's. This redo into a campground is well thought out.
No cell service so be prepared to drive to Quincy if you need to reach out. The creek: Fishing is so-so, swimming is good. This site is next to a major railway going through the Feather rive canyon so if you don't like train noise this is not a place to visit. Its very popular day use for the locals.

We stayed at Spanish Creek for only one night while we were on a trip heading north. This is a place that I would love to return to spend a longer time. We stayed in the upper camp which was just a short walk to the swimming hole. It was extremely quiet at night except for the occasional train (which does not bother me at all). Out site (no. 5) was very large. We parked out 26 foot motor home and had a large area with a picnic table and fire ring. We have a motor home so we did not use the bathrooms but we peeked inside anyway. They were extremely clean. Our camp host was very gracious and attentive. Hopefully we will return soon.

Beautiful site, lots of space. Yellow jackets were no joke, but were manageable. This campground was pretty noisy at times (trains and party sites on the weekend), so bring earplugs. Mornings were much more chill.

No Covid precautions were being taken, either by the host or in cleaning the shared spaces. The camp host was the biggest downside. Manny was overenthusiastic, bordering on creepy. He was also disorganized and difficult to work with.

Loved the area, the creek is super accessible and provide tons of activities.
Manny, the camp host, was super thoughtful and took really good care of the campground/campers needs.
The facilities were very clean and so was the grounds. Lots of room per site.
The train is noisy but it made the experience.

Again, I have never had a camp host call in before the reservation to check-in, it is a first and I thank Manny for his awesome care/attitude.

I just wanted to say that this camp site was great very roomy and it was even better because my group of 20 had the hole group section to ourselves. The host manny was great as well he was very curteous and was always checking in to see if we were good and or if we needed anything. People say that the train is noisy but did not bother us at all in the group site area . Also manny made a recommendation to go check out the water fall near by so we did and it was great . We were able to swim there and have a great time. I will definitely be coming back to this camp site agai
and Hope to see manny there as our host next time as well.

My family, friends and I have been coming to Spanish Creek for almost 15 years, and we LOVE it!! Great swimming, clean facilities and beautiful scenery. I suppose the occasional train noise could be a draw back for some people, however I’ve never found it excessive or impossible to sleep through, more charming than anything!

Lots of yellowjackets in the later summer months (it’s typical for the area), so a pop up screen for over your table while you’re cooking is a huge plus!!

Manny was super present and helpful. Our group felt very secure in leaving our camp and cars unattended at times, as we knew he was aware of who should (and, more importantly, shouldn’t) be in each camp site.

We’ll be back next year, as always!!

This is where my Old Boy Scout camp was in the 1960's: Camp Wallace Alexander. I spent several summers there. I really like the area where this camp is located. Good swimming area. Be prepared for yellowjackets as the you go longer into Aug/Sept. This is normal in many Sierra areas.
There was a new host this year and he was very good in checking on restroom facilities. and keeping them clean. I only stayed one night because of time constraints. I will be back. There currently is no ATT cell service there Don't know about other providers.
If you don't like train noise don't go. This is located near active tracks but it is part of the charm for me.

We loved this campground! Easy access to the Creek which was beautiful, clean, and cool, just wear water shoes because there are crawdads on the bottom of some places. Cell service was spotty (Verizon) so I wasn't checking my phone every second, which was great! Manny the camp host was on top of any campers with their music to loud which was so appreciated, the bathrooms were well kept and he was very attentive and helpful!! We came out here to unwind and we did just that. The trains come by often and they are loud, but if you like trains you will love it here. We did! Thanks Manny!

Amazing campground // was a beautiful place to get away from it all

Very clean campground, Manny the Host was extremely helpful and friendly. Only 4 stars and not 5 because we caught zero fish in 2 days!
