Best Time to Camp at Milan Hill State Park

Milan Hill transforms with the seasons, each bringing its own magical character to this mountaintop sanctuary. Winter blankets the campground in pristine snow, with invigorating winds averaging 30 mph that carry the crisp scent of evergreens across the summit. As summer arrives, the hilltop becomes a natural air conditioner, offering refreshing temperatures that provide sweet relief from valley heat. Occasional gentle rain showers nurture the forest floor and create a symphony of droplets on tent flies, adding to the authentic wilderness experience.
