About

Boise Creek Campground is nestled between Brush Mountain and Brannan Mountain in Six Rivers National Forest, offering a peaceful forest setting under a canopy of large Pacific madrone, Douglas fir, and California bay trees. Located just 2 miles west of Willow Creek, known as the Bigfoot capital of the world, the campground sits at 680 feet elevation along a creek near the Trinity River. The campground offers several single-family campsites, including three tent-only sites. All sites are furnished with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. A half-mile trail descends from the campground to Willow Creek, leading to swimming holes and opportunities to explore native plants and wildlife. The Trinity River provides excellent fishing for migratory salmon and steelhead trout, along with swimming and whitewater rafting opportunities. The nearby Trinity Scenic Byway offers scenic drives through the forest's sweeping canyons and valleys. Willow Creek, less than 2 miles away, provides full services including fuel, groceries, restaurants, and medical facilities. The town features an 18-hole disc golf course and hosts annual Bigfoot Days on Labor Day weekend. The surrounding Six Rivers National Forest provides habitat for threatened and endangered species including bald eagles and peregrine falcons.
