Miller Bar

Miller Bar is operated as a dispersed site and is located on large river bar on the beautiful Wild and Scenic Chetco River. Enjoy summer fun in the crystal-clear waters of this outstanding river! A few shaded spots can be found along the tree line. Tents or small trailers only. Camping on the gravel bar during the winter months is discouraged due to the frequency of high-water events.
