About 10 miles south of the Idaho border, Sawmill operates as a first-come, first-serve campground within Humboldt National Forest. The US Forest Service maintains vault toilets and allows both pets and alcohol, though campers should pack water since no source exists on-site. Dirt road access requires careful navigation, as one reviewer noted tire damage from large roots in the pathway.

The campground lacks designated fire rings, restricting campers to camp stoves only. A separate picnic area at the nearby Sawmill trailhead provides tables, grills, and additional restrooms within walking distance. Wildlife sightings include horses, rabbits, and lizards in the surrounding area. Campers seeking more developed facilities might consider Jarbidge less than two miles south.

Visitors often highlighted level sites and helpful staff, though noted limited spacing and basic facilities. Multiple campers commented on the convenient location near Jarbidge with vault toilets available.

I didn't want to leave but we were running out of previsions. However before we left I hit a rather large root in the pathway and popped a tire. It is all dirt roads. I had to change a tire on a soft dirt road, it was almost impossible. We caught some sprinkles, which was awesome to escape the Las Vegas heat. The hike at sawmill was great. Not to hard. We made it to a peak. Seen horse's, lizards rabbits, and preying mantis. No amenities or water source. There is no fires allowed, stoves ok. There is a picnic area at sawmill trailhead with tables, grills and bathrooms. A few minutes walk or about 1 minute drive. I will be back. It is first come first serve there are no fees except gas and maybe a tire.
