Mill Creek Campground
Area Status: Closed
Mill Creek Campground sites are located along Mill Creek, with its pleasant mix of Douglas-firs, cedars, and maples providing a pleasant backdrop and shade in the heat of summer. The gurgle of the creek is audible throughout the small campground. This is a popular fishing location for rainbow trout.
The entrance to Crater Lake National Park is approximately 20 miles northeast of the campground, making this a great place to overnight for your planned day trip into the park. Additional day trips to consider are the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, and the Rogue Gorge.
