Milford Lake has a myriad of coves with camping and fishing possibilities. The secret is knowing how to find those areas officially designated as public access/wildlife areas. One that we happened upon recently is at the end of St. John's Road. To get to this area where camping is really "roughing it," take Hwy 57 northwest out of Junction City; turn west at the junction with 244 and stay on 244 for about 4 1/2 miles until you reach Dietrich Road where you should turn north and proceed for 1 mile, at which point you will reach St John's Road. Turn east onto St John's Road and follow it until you reach the wildlife/public access area. There is plenty of privacy here with a number of prime camping and fishing spots. And of course, there is always the possibility of viewing wildlife if you sit still and wait.
