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!
