Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Spring Creek is essentially a launch point for lake- and forest-based activity. The clear water of Frenchman Lake is only minutes away and is where you'll find swimming, powerboating, water-skiing and jet-skiing; trails and quiet service roads radiating into Plumas National Forest make it easy to hike or mountain bike for a few miles or spend a day exploring the forest's backroads, and upland hunting is a seasonal option in the surrounding national forest.












Length limits vary by campsite.
Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,880 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
