What Guests Are Saying
Brandy Creek Primitive Campground offers a peaceful and fairly private camping experience with individual composting toilets at each site. While the campsites are exposed to the sun and wind, the abundance of trees provides necessary shade. Although there are no facilities, the nearby beach and the sound of a creek enhance the overall ambiance.

Site #1 was peaceful with a limited but nice view of Whiskeytown Lake. Two picnic tables, a fire-ring, bearproof storage box. You could hear a nearby creek/small waterfall but was not visible from the campsite.

People were in our campsite. Then it was too hot to stay and no fires allowed. Total trip was a bust.

Broken bear locker, no picnic table, dirty, exposed, campsite 2 full of broken glass, trash and trash, so we could not use it as alternative. We had to abandon the campsite and ended up paying $40 in another campground. Both of the campsites should not be open until they are fixed.
