Mill Creek Campground
About this site
Mill Creek Recreation Area The Mill Creek Campground is a fantastic place to stop and have a picnic, take a walk, listen to the creek or set up camp for a few days. Located roughly 30 miles south of Battle Mountain, Nevada, the Mill Creek Campground strikes a nice balance of being immersed in the outdoors but is close enough to town if you forgot something for the camping trip. The Mill Creek site was originally a CCC camp, Civilian Conservation Corps, which was a public work relief program developed to help with unemployed during the Great Depression. Through the course of its nine years in operation, 3 million young men participated in the CCC program, which provided them with shelter, clothing and food, together with a wage of $30 per month. The Mill Creek CCC Camp was eventually shut down when the program ended and was soon after identified as a recreation area and has been that way ever since. Today, roughly 30,000 people visit the Mill Creek Campground each year to enjoy the natural beauty and proximity to other incredible recreation activities available in northeastern Nevada.
