About
US Forest Service campground. Hidden deep within a dense ponderosa pine forest, this campground is located on the southeast edge of Mill Creek Wilderness. The campground is walking distance from the Wildcat South Trailhead. On the way to the campground, you will pass the White Fir Springs agate beds that are popular for rockhounding, but otherwise there are few developed recreational draws to the area, which makes it the perfect place to have your own forest adventure. The final mile into the campground is a rough section of road. High-clearance 4 WD vehicles are recommended. Visit our Rocks & Minerals page for more information on rockhounding. View a vicinity map of Mill Creek wilderness and trails. 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.
