Helltown (formerly, Butte Creek and Hilltown)[2] is an unincorporated community in Butte County, California, United States. It lies 4 miles (6.4 km) north-northwest of Paradise,[2] at an elevation of 873 feet (266 m) inside Butte Creek Canyon.
Helltown was founded as a mining community, but by the 1970s was home to a small population of hippies. The community was nearly destroyed by the Camp Fire in 2018.[3][4]
