Coming out here — Milan Hill State Park · New Hampshire Division of Parks & Recreation · NH
- No named surface water mapped within 1 mi of the pin in USGS's National Hydrography Dataset (data refreshed October 2022), and none within about a mile and a half in our OpenStreetMap pull — which is not proof there is none, only that neither map has one. Plan to carry washing water as well as drinking water.
- Ground slope around the pin: about 9.4% — noticeable. Measured on USGS's 3DEP elevation model (1 m data here), sampled every 10 metres around the point. That is the hillside, not the ground under your wheels — a graded pullout or a bench a few metres across is too small to show up at that spacing, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- Rail line mapped ~2.0 mi from the pin — the national rail atlas classes it as a main line. That is the FRA/BTS North American Rail Network (data updated Jul 21, 2026), which records that a line is there and what class of track it is. Whether anything runs on it, how often, and at what hour, it does not say, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- No interstate or US route is mapped within 10 mi of the pin in the Census's TIGER/Line primary roads (TIGER/Line 2025, released Oct 2025). That file holds the divided, limited-access highways only — a state expressway or a two-lane US route near this camp would not be in it.
- Power: Dave carries his own — batteries or solar. A generator will run your rig and it is also the thing everybody camped near you can hear.
- Getting online: Dave recommends Starlink. He has had it since SpaceX introduced it, used it for four years living on the road, and it delivers as promised — several hundred nights out, and he can count on one hand the places he could not connect. The cable on his unit runs 150 feet, which is usually all it takes to find enough sky. Starlink → Referral link — Starlink pays Dave $100 in cash if you sign up through it, and that money funds this site and the next trip. It costs you nothing and does not change the recommendation.

Who holds the land at Milan Hill State Park
USGS’s Protected Areas Database (PAD-US 4.1, queried 2026-09-23) lists the ground at this pin as Milan Hill State Park, for which PAD-US names no manager; it records the owner as NH Department of Resources & Economic Development. That names who holds the land — it is not a statement that camping is permitted here.

Confidence
Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
10 sites on a hilltop with a fire tower: six tent sites on 12x12 and 16x16 platforms plus four yurts. Rates published on the park page: "Tent Platforms: $29 (no hookups) Yurts: $50/night Adirondack Shelter: $40/night". Open 5/8, last reservable date 10/19, last date 10/11. The state describes it as a primitive camping area, recently renovated. From the tower you can see New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Canada. Unstaffed periods: pay at the iron ranger.

DESIGNATED SITES ONLY: NH Code of Administrative Rules Res 7302.02(a) (read 2026-08-16 at gc.nh.gov/rules/state_agencies/res7300.html) says "No person shall camp on DRED properties except in designated campsites." There is no dispersed camping on a New Hampshire state park or state forest. STAY LIMIT: Res 7302.03(d) -- "Camping permits shall have a maximum duration of 14 consecutive days at all campgrounds unless extended pursuant to paragraph (e)."

FEES (statewide table at https://www.nhstateparks.org/fees-reservations/camping-rates-reservations, read 2026-08-16): primitive campsite $29, standard $35, platform $35, lean-to $40, waterfront $40, water+electric (20/30) $45, plus a $7 reservation fee. NH residents 65+ get $5 off per site per night except holidays. Reservations are through ReserveAmerica / 1-877-NHPARKS.

It is a park point, not a surveyed campground-loop point. | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low.

On the agency's books. The land manager inventoried this site, so its existence is not in question — current conditions are. Nobody from here has camped it recently.
