About

Milan Hill State Park sits atop a scenic hill in New Hampshire's Great North Woods region, approximately ten miles north of Berlin in Coös County. This primitive campground offers an authentic backcountry experience with modern convenience, featuring 4 tent platforms, 4 yurts, and 2 Adirondack-style lean-to shelters. The park's crown jewel is its historic fire tower, which provides spectacular 360-degree views of the White Mountains, as well as mountain ranges in Maine, Vermont, and Canada, making it one of the premier spots for sunrise and sunset viewing in northern New Hampshire. The campground maintains a rustic character with basic but adequate facilities. All sites include fire rings and picnic tables, and potable water is available on-site. The park features pit toilets but no showers or flush toilets. Yurts accommodate up to 6 people but sleep 4 comfortably, with no electricity or heat provided. The location serves as an excellent base camp for exploring the surrounding Great North Woods, with nearby opportunities for hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing along the Androscoggin River valley. Milan Hill State Park is a pet-friendly facility that welcomes both tent campers and small RVs, though the primitive nature and limited driveway lengths make it better suited for tent camping and smaller rigs. The park's remote hilltop location offers limited cell service, adding to the sense of wilderness immersion while still maintaining accessibility via paved roads.
