About Milford State Park

Milford State Park is a popular state park near Milford, Kansas offering 196 sites for campers and RV enthusiasts. Enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities this destination provides.

Nestled in the heart of Kansas, Milford State Park offers RV travelers a serene escape where water recreation and natural beauty converge. The park centers around Milford Lake, a stunning 9,400-acre reservoir that becomes the focal point for countless outdoor adventures. Whether you're an avid angler, boating enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this year-round destination delivers the kind of authentic camping experience that keeps travelers returning season after season.

The lake itself is a major draw, especially for fishing enthusiasts who find excellent opportunities for catching bass, catfish, walleye, and crappie throughout the year. The well-maintained boat ramp makes launching straightforward and hassle-free, allowing you to get on the water quickly and start your day of exploration. Even if fishing isn't your primary interest, simply being near such a expansive body of water creates a calming backdrop to your camping days. The gentle lapping of water and the sight of sailboats dotting the horizon provide a meditative quality that contrasts beautifully with the busyness of everyday life.

The park's 196 RV sites provide ample space for everyone from weekend getaways to extended stays. Each site is equipped with practical amenities including fire rings for evening gatherings and picnic tables perfect for meals with a view. The thoughtfully placed showers and restroom facilities maintain the comfort standards modern RVers expect while keeping the natural, unpretentious character of a state park experience intact. This balance between convenience and outdoor authenticity makes Milford State Park particularly appealing to families and seasoned travelers alike.

The surrounding Kansas landscape reveals gentle rolling terrain and prairie vistas that showcase the region's natural character. The park welcomes pets, making it an ideal destination for travelers who want to explore with their furry companions without leaving them behind. Throughout the year, the changing seasons paint different pictures of the landscape, from vibrant summer greens to golden autumn foliage. Winter visitors often appreciate the quieter atmosphere and crisp air, while spring and summer bring peak activity with families and water sports enthusiasts.

Beyond the immediate park boundaries, the Milford area offers the authentic charm of rural Kansas, where you'll find genuine hospitality and a slower pace of living. The proximity to charming small towns provides opportunities for exploring local culture, farm-to-table dining, and genuine Midwest character that feels increasingly rare. This location appeals particularly to those seeking escape from urban centers, nature photographers, outdoor enthusiasts, and families wanting to disconnect and reconnect with each other in a beautiful setting.

What a State Park! Super accessible, very well kept and with beautiful sights to see at all different directions! I can see why now this is a popular spot for boaters and campers! Kayaking was awesome, just stayed along the side in wake area to be clear of any boaters. Well kept clean bathrooms with full showers and even laundry! Washer took about 33 minutes for a full load and drying was 45 min... What a State Park! Super accessible, very well kept and with beautiful sights to see at all different directions! I can see why now this is a popular spot for boaters and campers! Kayaking was awesome, just stayed along the side in wake area to be clear of any boaters. Well kept clean bathrooms with full showers and even laundry! Washer took about 33 minutes for a full load and drying was 45 minutes. A must stop in for you and the family to explore and experience! The pipeline trail was so beautiful if you like walking and hiking! Also talk about the sunsets from the water truly an beautiful experience! Friendly camp hosts and workers as well. Real treat here you don't wanna miss! Lots of cute and quaint towns around to go for a day trip too, plus Fort Riley is close if you are a veteran or active to get on the base. Thank you, Milford State Park!

Beautiful park. Lots and lots of different wildlife. Had a dispersed camping spot right on the water. It was peaceful. Spots are good size and clearly marked. Only con is all bathrooms are located near the utility sites which seems a bit backwards.

Absolutely wonderful! The RV site price was very reasonable. Helpful hosts in Eagle Ridge camping. My kids and I loved the splash pad with warm water & kids bop playing on the speakers! I loved that the swim beach, playground, and splash pad were all close together. Eagle Ridge camping was about a half mile walk to the swim beach, playground, & splash pad which was very doable with our Jeep stroll... Absolutely wonderful! The RV site price was very reasonable.

Eagle Ridge camping was about a half mile walk to the swim beach, playground, & splash pad which was very doable with our Jeep stroller. My older son caught the biggest catfish of his life & to see him jump up & down with joy is a core memory. There were grills, picnic tables with shade, & clean restrooms everywhere. If you have younger kids you have to go to the Nature Center. We will most definitely be coming back!
