Anglers and light-packing tent campers who want solitude at a fair price. Mill Creek's native rainbow trout are most active at dawn and dusk, nights drop to 35-45°F even in July, and the whole place holds only nine sites, so weekday arrivals usually have their pick.
No garbage pickup means hauling everything out yourself, and there are no hookups, no flush toilets, and no reserved spots. If you need power, a guaranteed site, or a trash can, this first-come-first-served setup will disappoint.

The campground operates June through September. Summer days reach 65–80°F, but nights drop to 35–45°F. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through occasionally. Come prepared for temperature swings. Mornings can be cold enough to see your breath, afternoons warm enough for shorts. Winter brings heavy snow and freezing temps that close access entirely. Trout are most active at dawn and dusk during summer months.
Open June–Sept; summer days 65–80°F with cool nights—prime operating season and pleasant temps.
Mill Creek Campground offers a small yet popular camping experience with 8 individual sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and one larger group site. Amenities include a vault toilet and a hand pump for drinking water. However, there is no garbage collection service, and campers must pack out all their waste. ATV use is restricted to Forest Roads only and is not permitted within the campground itself.
