Millsite State Park has implemented Stage 2 Fire Restrictions, which prohibit all open fires of any kind. This mandate includes fires within established fire pits, charcoal grills, pellet grills, or any ash-producing fuel.

Under the current restrictions, properly shielded gas or liquid-fueled portable camp stoves with a shut-off valve are allowed, provided they are used in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren and free of flammable vegetation.

Due to low water levels, the launch ramp is currently under a launch at your own risk warning. The water level is reported at 32 percent full, and the boat dock has been removed.

The campground remains open year round, and the campground bathrooms, showers, and dump station are all open. Fishing conditions are currently rated as fair. Day-use facilities are open.
