  • Keep an eye on cancellation policies and check back regularly for newly available sites.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan in case Milford State Park is fully booked.

The best time to visit Milford State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant.

  • Be aware of the current lake conditions and boat ramp closures before planning your water-based adventures.
  • Remember that some campsites have hookups on the passenger side, so bring an extended cord and hose.
