Located on the edge of the South Warner Wilderness this campground is nestled in the thick pine forests above Jess Valley at the south end of the Warner Mountains. It's easy access makes for a perfect weekend get away.
From Alturas go south on US Hwy 395 approximately 18 miles to Likely, CA. Turn east on County Road 64/Jess Valley Rd and go 3.2 miles to Blue Lake Road and West Warner Road. Turn left (northeast) on West Warner Road for 2.5 miles to Mill Creek Road. Turn right and follow the signs to Mill Creek Falls Campground.
Live this campsite. Very clean and quiet♥ beautiful waterfall to hike to. Very comfortable place
Quiet, out-of-the-way spot with shade and a natural water source nearby.
However, like all campgrounds these days, you are at the mercy of your worst neighbors -- most of whom are turning beautiful, quiet places like this into loud, classless RV parks with idling diesel 40-foot Class A buses, barking dogs and humming generators all day and night.
The National Forest Service, the National Parks Service and the Bureau of Land Management sold us out to the RV dealers and ruined our beautiful campgrounds forever.
". . . paved down the middle by a government that had no pride." - Chrissie Hynde
The name of this campground is a bit of a misnomer. There is no creek or falls immediately adjacent to the campground. The sites are well spaced in a pleasant pine forest, but there are no views in any direction because the campground is in a bit of a bowl.
Quiet and pretty, we had a very nice spot. There is a trailhead to the falls and beyond in the campground. The Forest Services keeps clean toilets.
