About
Overview
THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO WILDFIRE DAMAGE.
Millpond Pavilion is beautifully set along Rock Creek, which flows into the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. The pavilion boasts a large picnic shelter that holds up to 200 people with modern conveniences like drinking water, a sink, large grills, electrical outlets and a fireplace.
The flat grassy area is perfect for a casual game of soccer or a more special occasion, like an outdoor wedding.
In 1988 congress designated the North Umpqua River as a National Wild and Scenic River, preserving and protecting it for outdoor enthusiasts. The river is a tributary of the Umpqua River, which runs for over 200 miles from the Cascade Range of southwestern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean.
Recreation
Guests can play kickball, softball or other sports in the field that's included in the pavilion reservation.
Adjacent to the pavilion are horseshoe pits and a playground to entertain young ones. From the pavilion, visitors can follow a 1-mile interpretive trail that passes through the site of an old lumber mill.
Facilities
Weddings and family reunions are very popular at this scenic destination. The long serving counter, stone fireplace, sink, two barbecue grills and multiple electric outlets create an ideal location for many festive occasions.
If groups choose to camp overnight, they can do so at the nearby Millpond Campground or the reservable Lone Pine Group Campground located across the road.

Millpond is just west of the Umpqua National Forest, in a lush region full of Douglas fir trees, western red cedar and sugar pines. The pavilion is in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains at an elevation of 1,170 feet.

Is MILLPOND PAVILION fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches MILLPOND PAVILION in Idleyld Park, OR for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching MILLPOND PAVILION for cancellations is the paid part.
