Mill Creek Resort

Welcome! We’re Jillian and Joe, along with our sidekicks Sonora + Ayla, the brains and the brawn behind Mill Creek Resort. Since 2017, we have been pouring every ounce of our love and energy into this landmark 1930’s resort. We take great pride in honoring it's rich history while creating a space for the next generation of mountain adventurers.

Nestled in 12 acres of cedars and towering pines on the south side of Lassen Volcanic National Park, we offer 9 cabins open year-round, along with 17 campsites, some featuring glamping tents and 8 RV spots, one featuring a vintage 70's trailer and 2015 modern RV. 

We hope your path leads you here to experience all that Lassen has to offer. Miles of trails, pristine waters, dark skies, and wildlife abound, all awaiting to be discovered.

Find your Wild, be kind, and leave no trace.

A great place to enjoy a peaceful cup of joe.

This spot is at the bottom of the path near the pit toilets. We took an extremely refreshing dip! 

There are pit toilets behind campsite 11. 

Nothing better than playing frisbee with a herd of cattle as your audience! 

An open meadow to complete incredible sunsets. 

Path down to the river. A little steep, but definitely doable!
