About
McMillan Campground sits in a quiet riparian setting along Cherry Creek in the Gila National Forest, about 15 miles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15. The small size of the campground creates a more private atmosphere for camping or picnicking. Cherry Creek, when flowing, offers a pleasant splashing spot for children. The campground is cool in summer and particularly scenic in fall when the dark green conifers contrast with golden aspens, rustic scrub oaks, and bright red sumac vines. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets and picnic tables but no potable water. Campers must bring their own firewood or use charcoal/propane, as no wood is available in the area. Pets are welcome but must remain leashed.
Directions
From Silver City, follow New Mexico Highway 15 approximately 15 miles north. The campground is located on the east side of Highway 15.
