Welcome! We’re Jillian and Joe, along with our sidekicks Sonora + Ayla, the brains and the brawn behind Mill Creek Resort. Since 2017, we have been pouring every ounce of our love and energy into this landmark 1930’s resort. We take great pride in honoring it's rich history while creating a space for the next generation of mountain adventurers. Nestled in 12 acres of cedars and towering pines on the south side of Lassen Volcanic National Park, we offer 9 cabins open year-round, along with 17 campsites, some featuring glamping tents and 8 RV spots, one featuring a vintage 70's trailer and 2015 modern RV. We hope your path leads you here to experience all that Lassen has to offer. Miles of trails, pristine waters, dark skies, and wildlife abound, all awaiting to be discovered. Find your Wild, be kind, and leave no trace.

Site 12 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP
Campsite 12
We fell in love with our campsite! It was very clean and quiet and our campsite 12 seemed to have the most privacy, mind you I think we were the one tent campers our last 2 nights, probably because we checked in on a Sunday and left Wednesday. The honor system of the firewood available to us for $6 a bundle and ice for 4 was extremely convenient, as opposed to the cute shop on the side of the highway 10 minutes away that sold bundles for $10. We had a campfire going every late afternoon into the late evenings to keep us toasty in during the brisk October mountain air. We could hear the flow of Mills Creek right below us as we fell asleep each night under the stars. We went on a few adventures to include the 25 min drive to Chester to check out the local fishing spot and fill up our gas tank before drive around lake Almador, following the beautiful yet windey drive to go visit the historic hot springs the Lasson National Forest offered us. There's no swimming in these hotsprings and you'll understand why if you visit but that didn't stop us from taking dip (or cold plunge rather) in lake Helena's freezing yet picturesque aquarium waters. The shower available to us at the camp site was welcomed to get a quick scrub down and warm up in the hot water before preparing some tritip on the open fire with the provided firepit grill. We will definitely be back! Maybe even to try out one of the yurts they have available to rent. Thank you for the experience!!

It was good in general. Nice place. They didn’t have hand soap in the restrooms the campsite was good in general. The campfire grill is too little.

Site 8 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP
We could not have hoped for a better experience while camping. We stayed for 2 nights at site 8, and it was beautiful. There are neighboring camp sites, but this site is at the end of the path and had plenty of space between other sites. All the fellow campers were respectful and friendly. Having the bathrooms and potable water so close by was so helpful, especially with putting out the fire at night. We will definitely be coming back next season. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Site 11 - Campsite right outside Lassen NP
Wonderful location and great staff
Staff is very attentive, extremely friendly and helpful. The campgrounds are well maintained and the public areas kept clean and tidy. Campsite #11 is mostly shaded and does offer some privacy plus mesmerizing water sounds from the creek. Be aware that the closest faucet is on the other side of the campground (by #5) so about 600ft from this campsite. Getting down to the creek could potentially be a challenge as it is a steep descent/climb from the campground.
