About Boise Creek

Boise Creek Campground is nestled between Brush Mountain and Brannan Mountain in northern California's vast Six Rivers National Forest. The campground sits under a canopy of large Pacific madrone evergreen, Douglas fir and California bay trees, less than two miles from the small mountain town of Willow Creek, known as the Bigfoot capital of the world. Fishing, swimming and whitewater rafting are all close by in the popular Trinity River.

What Guests Are Saying

Boise Creek offers clean, spacious campsites with helpful hosts and beautiful nearby trails leading to a picturesque creek. The campground is well-maintained, with good facilities like picnic tables and outhouses. However, caution is needed due to the presence of poison oak and significant road noise from the nearby highway.

This campground was small and right off the main road. The campsites themselves were small. However, we absolutely loved our weekend at Boise Creek, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a site in a pinch. The little creek nearby is not a lavish swim hole, but it is great for a morning coffee or just to check out! Visiting during the pandemic resulted in a lot of the Hoopa Valley swimholes being closed, but it was overall a great trip, and the campground was just right.

We loved it here! Nice, small and quiet campground. The fill-in host Mike was helpful and attentive. There is a nice hike down to the stream, and just a couple miles away in the town of Willow Creek there is a nice river you can swim in. Very little shade by the river so I would recommend bringing an umbrella! The campground was nice and shaded, campsites were spaced out so we had our privacy. My only complaint is that the campground is right off the main highway, so we could hear cars and trucks driving at night. Overall, great experience.

The campground is small as are the campsites, but pretty well spaced. Very friendly and informative host. The hike down to the creek and dip in the swimming hole made Boise Creek a hit in my book!!

Great campground. Beautifully located in a wooded shady area near a creek. Most sites are pretty spacious. There was a camp host when we visited and the campground was full. Pit toilets and drinking water available. You can take a dip in the creek near the campground. The trail takes about 10 minutes to get up or down. Only reason I wouldn't give this campground 5 stars is because it's pretty close to the highway, so you will get some traffic noise until later in the evening. There were also some bugs but not too bad.

    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
