The best camping near Milford with fishing

·

In Milford, anglers have over 140 camping options that put fishing front and center. Most sites sit near rivers or ponds where you can cast off at dawn and reel in a decent catch before breakfast. You’ll find pet-friendly campsites, toilets, and plenty of fire pits for cooking up what you catch. Prices start at $15 a night, with the average hovering around $40. Hike or swim to break up the day, but fishing is the big draw. Locals swear by Little Rivers Edge RV Park and Camp (85 reviews) for easy river access, or try Shepherd's Rest Goat Rescue (66 reviews) if you want a quiet spot with curious goats for company. For wide-open farm views, Magill Farms (26 reviews) is a solid bet. Bring your tackle box and get ready for an early morning on the water.

*** 2025 Season Update *** As they have put new rock on the gravel road near the property, we are potentially looking at closing our season earlier than planned. This has covered up our previous dust control, which could make it more dusty than anticipated due to higher traffic for an early harvest this year. If you are still needing a place to stay but it looks to be unavailable up to November 1st, just send me a message and we can review options. I want to ensure a positive experience. - Devlin ****50/30/20 amp hookups at each RV Site. *** City life from Lincoln and Omaha can feel a little tight sometimes. Little Rivers Edge is a wonderful spacious campground for the perfect weekend getaway being only 30 minutes down the road. Just a mile outside of Syracuse gives you all the convenience of the town without any of the crowded feeling. So...light a fire and play in the river! We hope you enjoy our little piece of heaven and meet some friends along the way.
