About this campground
Set on the western edge of the year-round Millican Plateau OHV Area, this small, roadside staging area offers picnic tables, fire rings and a portable toilet. Access to Trails 17 and 83 is available here, but with connecting trail loops one can access dozens of trail miles. Know Before You Go Spark arrestors are required on your OHVs, year around and on chainsaws, and generators from April 1 to October 31. Campfires are permitted outside of fire season, but please keep them small and don't leave them unattended. High winds and dry conditions can fuel a wildfire even at unlikely times of the year. Millican Plateau is open year-round. North Millican and South Millican have seasonal closures. The Millican Plateau area is remote and visitors should be equipped to be self-sufficient. Riders should wear appropriate safety gear, carry a first aid kit, and never ride alone. Most Forest Service and BLM personnel have radios and can give assistance. There is a cellular phone repeater on Grizzly Mountain and coverage is fair for most of the area. Point of Interest Alfalfa Curves is named for two dog-leg curves in the otherwise straight-line Reservoir Road.
Getting there
From Bend, Oregon: Take US-20 east approximately 2.5 miles, then turn north onto the Powell Butte highway and proceed another mile to the roundabout. Take the first exit onto Alfalfa Market Rd (which becomes Willard Rd, then Reservoir Rd) and proceed east for another 13.9 miles. The Alfalfa Curves OHV Staging Area will be on your right, on a bend in the road.
