Mill Creek Campground

Can a campground offer both rugged solitude and serene beauty just 14 miles from Pinecrest, California? Mill Creek Campground manages to do exactly that. Set along Highway 108 in the Stanislaus National Forest, this small, first-come, first-served campground delivers a tranquil retreat amidst a mixed forest of towering conifers and graceful aspens, accompanied by the soft murmur of a nearby creek.

Mill Creek Campground offers 17 no-frills campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. However, it lacks modern conveniences like potable water, so campers should plan accordingly. Vault toilets are provided, and the campground features dirt roads and parking pads, reflecting its rustic character. Though minimal in amenities, the natural charm and quiet atmosphere make it ideal for tent campers or those seeking an escape from urban routines.

Located a short drive from Pinecrest Lake, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, and numerous hiking trails, the campground is perfectly positioned for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're on a weekend getaway or embarking on an extended outdoor adventure, Mill Creek Campground offers a scenic and peaceful base to reconnect with nature.
