Beaverhead National Forest Mill Creek Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via a 7-mile drive from Sheridan, this 10-site Forest Service campground sits along Mill Creek in the Tobacco Root Mountains. The road extends one mile past the forest boundary to reach the main camping area, with additional primitive sites scattered along the access route.

Large fir and pine trees provide substantial shade across the developed sites. Each spot includes a picnic table, fire ring, and parking space large enough for two vehicles. Two vault toilets and hand pump wells serve the campground, while a group fire ring with benches sits between sites two and three. Bear-proof food lockers are provided, as grizzly bears inhabit the area and require proper food storage in vehicles or lockers. For additional options, see campgrounds around Sheridan.

Nice quiet campground in the Tobacco Root Mountains

Mill Creek is a nice 10 site campground along Mill Creek in the Tobacco Root Mountains. The campground is 7 miles from the town of Sheridan. Note that the sign in Sheridan says the campground is 6 miles away, however it is 6 miles to the forest boundary, then another mile to the campground. The campground features 2 double vault toilets and two hand pump wells for water. This is a well shaded campground due to the large fir and pine trees. In the mile between the forest boundary and the campground about 6 marked primitive campsites can be found as well. Between the 2nd and 3rd campsites is a short trail leading to a large group fire ring with four benches circling it. All the campsites have a picnic table and fire rings. Each site has a large parking area that can easily fit two vehicles. This is grizzle bear territory, food must be stored in your car or the provided bear proof foot locker at the campground.
