Our Take

What makes Mill Valley Campground special

Mill Valley Campground is the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret, tucked away in the folds of the Mendocino National Forest in Northern California's inner Coast Range. With just four first-come, first-served sites, it offers a level of solitude that larger campgrounds simply cannot match. The setting is classic oak woodland and mixed conifer forest, with grassy meadows nearby and the quiet hum of rural California all around. Located near the small community of Stonyford, Mill Valley provides a genuine backcountry feel without requiring a long hike to reach your campsite. The surrounding forest is laced with trails and dirt roads popular with hikers, mountain bikers, and hunters in season. Stony Creek and other nearby waterways provide seasonal fishing opportunities, and the area is rich with wildlife including deer, wild turkey, and the occasional black bear. The campground is best visited from late spring through early fall, when access roads are dry and temperatures are pleasant. Summer days can be warm, but the forest canopy provides welcome shade. Because sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, weekday visits offer the best chance of finding an open spot during peak season. Facilities are rustic, with vault toilets and fire rings but no potable water, so pack accordingly. Mill Valley rewards those who appreciate simplicity, offering a stripped-down camping experience in a landscape that feels wonderfully far from everything.
