Cedar Point — Milford State Park

RV campers find spacious sites with full hookups accommodating rigs up to 75 feet at this Milford State Park campground on the shores of Milford Lake. The campground divides into upper and lower loops, with the upper section maintaining closer site spacing while the lower loop spreads out more and provides direct lake access for many spots.

Electric and water hookups serve each site, along with fire rings and picnic tables. A central restroom facility includes showers, which reviewers note as particularly valuable since not all park campgrounds offer this amenity. Crystal C. found "the sites seemed larger and more spacious overall" compared to other areas in the park.

Fishing draws many visitors to Milford Lake, with boat launch access available nearby. The campground operates on a self-pay system requiring cash, and flooding has occasionally limited site availability in lower-lying areas. Tent campers should note that level ground can be challenging to find, as the terrain slopes toward the water in many areas.

Several other camping areas operate within the park system, including Hickory Hollow — Milford State Park and Woodland Hills — Milford State Park for those seeking different settings or when Cedar Point reaches capacity.

Campers regularly cited spacious, shaded lakeside sites and clean facilities with showers as highlights. The helpful camp host received consistent praise. Tent campers should note terrain challenges with sloped sites.

Spacious, Shaded & Even

Traveling to this State Park I didn't know much what to expect. I did know that a lot of the camping was not accessible because of the recent flooding but they did maintain the self pay station for those wanting to snag the limited sites available. I can only imagine with the upcoming Labor Day weekend this will still be hot ticket!

When I checked out this campground the sites seemed larger and more spacious overall. The upper loop still had that camping neighborhood vibe with sites clumped together a bit more closely but each was shaded and had a nice pull in and included a fire ring and picnic table, in some cases more than one.

There was a nice restroom area which included showers, something many of the campgrounds did not have so this was a hot commodity for sure.

I can imagine this being a great location for RV campers with relatively even pull ins and for tents alike with lush grassy areas. This campground did offer connections and water around camp.

On the lower loop it was a Bir more secluded and felt more spacious. I preferred the short walk to the restroom to keep that privacy.

Many of these sites were located on shoreline directly or on the cliffside of the area with great views. Unfortunately these were also the ones which were more effected by the floods so only a portion of the area was able to be accessed.

Tips:

* Book Online or carry cash, there is no fee station currently and self pay is the only option. This does not allow you to use card.

* Check the weather in advance. There are many options for camping at the park when the weather has not been terrible but with limited sites available currently you will want to make sure you plan ahead with the weather and seek higher sites.

* Bring your fishing pole or boat, this lake is amazing for fishing and has plenty of places you can launch your water vessel of choice.

Not for tent camping

While our family loved the scenery this is not a lake for tent camping. Unless you like sleeping at an angle. Very limited tent camping as well. This lake is made for those with RVS

Storm Brewing Over Lake

Was at this area for a fishing tournament happening on Milford Lake. It was storming far to the south, but looked so neat over the lake. This campground was clean and not busy at all as it was March. The state parks weather alerts could be followed online easily and there are tornado sirens in the park with shelters nearby.

This is a great campground. Camp host is great. Spots are nice and shady. The outer spots put you right next to the lake. We love camping here.
