Mcmillan Spring Campground

McMillan Spring Campground sits in a Ponderosa Pine forest on a large flat with expansive views. It is regularly used by many visitors, but seems to be a favorite among big game hunters in the fall. McMillan Spring Campground is also designed for those with horses. It comes complete with corrals, livestock water, and a trough. The corrals can be accessed and viewed easily from a number of sites. In addition to the horse facilities, McMillan Spring is a nine site campground and offers parking areas, picnic tables, fire rings, grills, benches, potable water, and restrooms. Season May - November.
