About
Milsap Bar Family Campground is a primitive, free camping area located on the south shore of the Middle Fork Feather River in the Feather River Ranger District of Plumas National Forest. The campground sits at the scenic confluence of the Middle Fork and South Branch Middle Fork Feather River, offering excellent access to fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. The campground features approximately 12-14 first-come, first-served campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. A vault toilet is available, though it may be closed periodically pending pumping service. There is no potable water or trash collection, so campers must bring adequate water supplies and pack out all waste. Bear awareness is required in this area. Access to Milsap Bar is via a rugged forest road that is not recommended for RVs or trailers. High-clearance vehicles are advised, and the road may be temporarily closed due to fallen trees during and after storms. The campground typically operates from mid-April through mid-October, with a 14-day stay limit, maximum of 8 people per site, and 2 vehicles per site.
Directions
From Berry Creek, take Bald Rock Road northeast. Turn right onto Milsap Bar Road and follow it to the campground on the south shore of the Middle Fork Feather River. High-clearance vehicle recommended due to rough road conditions.
