Milan Hill State Park

A Sustainable Lodging Option

Celebrating 88 years of preserving state land, NH State Parks are some of the best places for eco-traveling adventurers.

New Hampshire ranks second for lowest air pollution in the United States, making our jobs of displaying its unfiltered beauty in every season easy. For folks new to eco-friendly travel or just looking for sustainable ways to enjoy state parks, NH State Parks presents a list of eco-friendly trips and activities throughout the state. While visiting any of our 93 parks, it’s a good idea to practice the 7 principles of Leave No Trace, to help the Parks Division protect our lands for generations of future visitors.
 
As a loose guideline, finding a new point of view from busier, commonly-known areas, is often a more eco-friendly option for trip takers and recreators. All of the parks mentioned below are less visited parks with the best options for eco-friendly activities.

Not all Camping is Created Equal!

It's no secret that camping can be a low-cost, low-emission option for travelers, but not all camping is created equal. Parks like Milan Hill State Park in Milan have yurts, which offer the comfort of developed sites but are still mostly primitive. Each site at Milan Hill State Park has contained fire pit stations for cooking without the use of gas or charcoal. On your way into the area, there are dozens of farm stands and provision stores to stock up on sustainable and low-waste food items. Additionally, pit toilets, water faucets and dumpsters are dispersed around the campground so you can easily and properly carry in and out.
 
Need gear? Many camping supply outfitters have planet-conscious items like reusable cookware and recycled-material equipment

With so much to do in every park, eco-travelers can find new points of view in every state park without sacrificing our duties to be stewards of our planet.
