The spot was great. We had no problems finding the campsite. The bathroom, showers, and water all worked and were well kept. The drive to lassen national park was fairly quick. Would recommend this site.

Site 12 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP

We fell in love with our campsite! It was very clean and quiet and our campsite 12 seemed to have the most privacy, mind you I think we were the one tent campers our last 2 nights, probably because we checked in on a Sunday and left Wednesday. The honor system of the firewood available to us for $6 a bundle and ice for 4 was extremely convenient, as opposed to the cute shop on the side of the highway 10 minutes away that sold bundles for $10. We had a campfire going every late afternoon into the late evenings to keep us toasty in during the brisk October mountain air. We could hear the flow of Mills Creek right below us as we fell asleep each night under the stars. We went on a few adventures to include the 25 min drive to Chester to check out the local fishing spot and fill up our gas tank before drive around lake Almador, following the beautiful yet windey drive to go visit the historic hot springs the Lasson National Forest offered us. There's no swimming in these hotsprings and you'll understand why if you visit but that didn't stop us from taking dip (or cold plunge rather) in lake Helena's freezing yet picturesque aquarium waters. The shower available to us at the camp site was welcomed to get a quick scrub down and warm up in the hot water before preparing some tritip on the open fire with the provided firepit grill. We will definitely be back! Maybe even to try out one of the yurts they have available to rent. Thank you for the experience!!

Site 11 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP

My first time ever camping and this was the best choice. The restrooms I went to were super clean, site #11 was perfectly near everything yet tucked away at the same time, & Jillian was soooo sweet.

Site 12 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP

We loved tent camping at Mill Creek! It was an amazing experience. Bathrooms were clean, fully stocked, and had hot/cold showers. At the lodge you can find fire wood. There were options to pay by cash or by Venmo, if you didn’t have signal they are kind enough to go by an honor system and pay later. They also had quarters for the showers and laundry in case you forgot to bring your own. There are lots of trees for shade and hanging hammocks. Site 12 was very large and a little further from the other sites which gave a little extra privacy. There was a trail near by leading to the creek. Overall loved the place and anyone reading must go to experience!!
