Hickory Hollow at Milford State Park offers a premier camping destination on the southeast shore of Kansas' largest lake, Milford Reservoir. Located northwest of Junction City in north-central Kansas, this 1,084-acre state park sprawls across scenic terrain with approximately 15,700 surface acres of water and 163 miles of pristine shoreline.
The park features eight campgrounds with 254 sites offering varying levels of utility connections, including 30-amp electrical hookups, water, and sewage facilities. Full hookup sites accommodate big rigs, while amenities include modern facilities, grills, tables, and convenient dump stations. The on-site marina, boat ramps with courtesy docks, and ADA fishing dock with kayak launch serve water enthusiasts.
Fishing draws visitors year-round for walleye, crappie, bass, and catfish. Beyond angling, the park supports diverse recreation: over 12 miles of hiking trails, boating, wildlife viewing, equestrian activities, and family-friendly attractions like the splash park. Winter months attract bald eagle observers. The adjacent 19,000-acre wildlife area and nearby Milford Nature Center and Fish Hatchery provide educational and scenic opportunities.
