River Run East

Army Corps of Engineers manages this six-site campground on Millwood Lake, where gravel sites include sheltered picnic tables and fire rings but no hookups or water supply. The $8 fee reflects the basic setup, though a fish cleaning station and trash service are provided. Timber trucks crossing the nearby dam create periodic helicopter-like sounds that break the otherwise quiet setting. River Run West sits just 0.2 miles away for campers wanting additional options. The small scale keeps crowds minimal, making it well-suited to anglers and campers comfortable with primitive amenities.
