About Whistler Campground
Located on the northern edge of [Mill Creek Wilderness](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=79448&actid=50), this campground is located within walking distance from the [Wildcat North Trailhead](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recarea/?recid=80945). There are many standing dead trees here so be careful where you wander and where you set your camp. [Whistler Springs rockhounding site](http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ochoco/recreation/?cid=stelprd3825804) is located within the campground shortly downhill from the restroom that has a tendency to draw enthusiasts. For visitors who are interested in either hiking in preserved wilderness areas, or scavenging for some beautiful stones this is a great place to spend some time.
