About
US Forest Service campground. This tiny and rustic campground is located adjacent to a meadow and a small pond in the northwestern portion of the Ochoco National Forest. Mill Creek Wilderness is accessible from this site at Twin Pillars North Trailhead. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
