Deanes Valley (Family Campground) is a Forest Service campground in the Mt. Hough Ranger District of Plumas National Forest in California. It sits among a cluster of family campgrounds and recreation areas, and Rock Creek (Family Campground) is less than a mile away. Vault toilets are the only facility listed for the site, and a fee is charged for stays. The campground is a simple base for exploring the surrounding forest, with several other campgrounds and trails within a few miles. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the sweet spots. Typical averages from the nearby Quincy weather station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 82°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Nearby options include Rock Creek (Family Campground) at 0.9 miles, the Deer Creek hike at 2 miles, and the Rock Creek canoeing route at 2.5 miles. Meadow Camp is about 3 miles away.
