Mill Creek Campground

About

Mill Creek Campground is set within Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, one of four parks comprising Redwood National and State Parks. The 145-site campground is tucked into a second-growth forest of maples and young redwoods along Mill Creek, providing a shaded, tranquil atmosphere. Each campsite includes a picnic table, bear-proof food storage locker, and fire ring. Site dimensions vary from 15x15 feet to 28x28 feet, with several tent-only sites requiring short walks from parking areas. Seasonal amenities include flush toilets, hot coin-operated showers, potable water, and an RV dump station. A camp host is present during the operating season, and firewood is available for purchase. The campground features an amphitheater for ranger programs during summer months. The park encompasses 31,000 acres of old-growth coast redwoods, second-growth forest, and 8 miles of wild coastline. Popular activities include hiking trails of varying difficulty, exploring tidepools at Wilson Beach, and wildlife viewing. Note that dogs are allowed in the campground but prohibited on park trails.
