Albee Creek is a decent little campground set in a beautiful area of Northern California.

The campground itself is relatively small with not a ton of cover between sites. We camped in spot #25 which was nice because we only had campers on one side of us. There were a lot of ticks in the field next to our site however, so I guess we ended up with more neighbors than if we had camped closer to other people.

The campground had bathrooms and showers, which were both in nice condition.

There are a few trail options right from the campground, which is nice. We ended up doing a 16.5-mile loop from the campground to the summit of Grasshopper Peak. It was a nice hike with about 3,100 feet of elevation gain, mostly on fire roads.

Firewood is for sale at the Ranger Kiosk and you are required to purchase your firewood there or somewhere else close by to prevent transmission of disease. The closest store for firewood and beer (aka camping essentials) was in Myers Flat. Stop on your way north if you can as it’s a 25-minute drive each way.
