Miller Camp Introduce

Miller Camp is located along King Range Rd, Garberville, CA 95542. It provides camping opportunities within the category of Campgrounds & RV Parks, primarily catering to those seeking a remote and hiking-focused experience.

Based on available information, Miller Camp is accessible via the King Crest Trail North, specifically from the North Slide Peak Trailhead towards King Peak. The trail segment leading to Miller Camp is part of a 3.1-mile loop involving an 800 ft descent and subsequent climb. This indicates that accessing the camp involves a moderately strenuous hike.

The surrounding area is characterized by the effects of a 2003 wildfire, which has resulted in open vistas of the Lost Coast, Mattole Valley, and inland mountain ranges. However, this also means that hikers may encounter fallen snags along the trail, potentially slowing their pace.

A notable feature of the Miller Camp area is a refreshing spring. However, it's important to note that this spring may dry up during the summer months, so campers should plan accordingly.

Key features and considerations:

  • Access via the King Crest Trail North, a 3.1-mile loop with an 800 ft descent/climb.
  • Open vistas of the Lost Coast, Mattole Valley, and inland mountain ranges due to past wildfire.
  • Potential for fallen snags along the trail.
  • Availability of a spring, which may dry up in summer.
  • Primarily a hiking and backpacking focused campground.

Miller Camp is recommended for experienced hikers and backpackers seeking a remote camping experience with scenic views. Potential visitors should be aware of the trail's difficulty and the potential for a dry spring during summer.

“King Crest Trail North (North Slide Peak Trailhead to King Peak) 5.8 miles, 800 ft. climb. Much of the trail corridor burned in 2003. This has added endless vistas of the Lost Coast, Mattole Valley and inland mountain ranges. As a trade-off, fallen snags may slow your pace. A 3.1-mile loop to Miller Camp involves an 800 ft. descent/climb as well as a refreshing spring. This spring may be dry during summer months.”
