Description

National Forest

This tiny and rustic campground is located adjacent to a meadow and a small pond in the northwestern portion of the Ochoco National Forest. The campground is also adjacent to the Twin Pillars North Trailhead which provides access into Mill Creek Wilderness. The campground is bordered by ponderosa and lodgepole pines, and the open meadow makes for some gorgeous stargazing on warm summer nights.
