About
Millard Campground is a primitive hike-in campground located in Millard Canyon within Angeles National Forest. The campground offers 6 first-come, first-served campsites that are accessed via a short hike from the Chaney Trail trailhead near Altadena. Each campsite includes a picnic table and campfire ring. The campground sits at 1,900 feet elevation in a shaded canyon setting. The trail from the parking area leads to the campsites and continues to 50-foot Millard Falls, a popular destination. The campground has vault toilets but no piped water. A seasonal stream runs through the canyon and may provide water when flowing, but all water must be treated before use. Stream flow can be low or nonexistent during dry periods. The campground may be subject to temporary closures due to bear activity, fire danger, or other safety concerns. An Adventure Pass or America the Beautiful Pass is required for both day use and overnight camping. The area experiences heavy usage, particularly on weekends. Access is via Chaney Trail, a narrow mountain road that ends at the trailhead.
Directions
From Interstate 210 in Pasadena, exit Lake Avenue and go north to Loma Alta Drive. Turn west (left) on Loma Alta and drive to Chaney Trail Drive (flashing yellow light). Turn right on Chaney Trail and follow the road until it dead ends at the trailhead. Park at the trailhead and follow signs to the campground.
