The United States Forest Service translated the area's Spanish name, Espiritu Santo (Holy Spirit), and applied it to a campground, summer home area and creek located there.[2]

The Forest Service describes the Holy Ghost Campground as "situated in a beautiful steep canyon right along Holy Ghost Creek".[3]
