Millsite State Park sits on the banks of the Millsite Reservoir which was constructed in 1970. The campground includes 20 camp sites with restroom facilities, showers and sewage disposal station. The primitive sites near the reservoir were nice with a gorgeous backdrop view of towering cliffs. We stayed in Site #14. If we come again, I would stay in Site #12 or #13. These sites have a little more room and are oriented such that your front door faces the reservoir. The nice ranger (same one that talked to us at Huntington) told us about a great single track hike around the reservoir. After floundering around a bit at the golf course, we finally found the trail up beyond the reservoir. It was a beautiful hike and we had the trail to ourselves. For future reference, the trailhead is accessed at the end of the dirt parking lot beyond the golf course. We would definitely come back to this campground for the single track trail and the convenient access to San Rafael Swell area.
