Accessible via Forest Road 70, Queen Lily Campground operates as a US Forest Service facility within Plumas National Forest from May through October. The $31 per night fee includes drinking water, restroom facilities, and trash service, with advance reservations available through the standard federal booking system.
The forested setting incorporates both wooded and open terrain near water features including creek and river access. RV camping is not permitted due to site limitations, making this a tent-only destination. Pets accompany campers under standard leash requirements. North Fork Campground sits less than half a mile south for campers comparing nearby options. The combination of water access and forest cover appeals to tent campers seeking a straightforward base camp in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Overview
Queen Lily Campground is located on Highway 70 just east of the Highway 89 intersection; just east of where Spanish Creek and Indian Creek merge together to create the east branch of the North Fork Feather River. Although the campground has been recently upgraded, it still holds the charm that it did in years past.
