Millard Campground is a serene spot to camp, but it's essential to note that the gate opens at 6 am and closes at 8 pm. Parking is limited, so arrive early, and you'll need an adventure pass to camp. There's a scenic hiking trail to a waterfall, and the campground offers six first-come-first-serve spots with pit latrine restrooms. It's a great choice for a rustic outdoor getaway.

Great shorter hike for those that love hiking but can't go far, water crossings are small but wearing water shoes would be helpful for that.

The bathroom are super filthy.You might have to share your camping ground with a couple of homeless.Nothing much to do besides hiking to the waterfall, no electricity,and no running water . Beware of the Bears in Mountain lions . And people leave their camping equipment a day before and never show up.

Pretty, verdent, close to parking, and a good spot for picnics with lots of hiking options. The trail to the falls is easy and beautiful, if a bit wet at times. Campsite was clean and pretty well maintained. Not a great campsite for actual camping imo, way too much traffic along the trail and a lot of it very inconsiderate, but a great starting point for going further into the mountains. Parking isn't great and fills up very fast.
