Nice, quite, and relaxing stay. Fire rings need to be upgraded. They were small and rusted out.

Had a great time enjoying nature...
Jeff C.ScoutO'Bannon Woods State Park Campground
Alright not my favorite park in the area
Campground seemed like a tight fit coming in near dark fall. Lots of shaded sites. Storm ran through that night and lots of dead limbs came down all over. Got a hole in my roof. Overall decent stay and had a cool neighbor

Sexual abuse overlooked
The managers, James and Kate, are extremely unprofessional. They kicked out my family because they preferred another family better. My son was sexually abused TWICE at this campground. When I mentioned contacting corporate, James got irrate and said they will only send you back to me so go ahead and try. James falsely accused my children of making messes in the bathrooms and I quote,"Smearing sh** on the walls." He also told me that no one wanted us at the park even though we have never been informed of breaking any rules. These people are sorry excuses of management and should be replaced with more competent employees

If you want camping in the woods
I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, the trees are beautiful, you can camp here and it feels like forest camping, most lots have spots for hammocks, electric but no water hook up, the bath house is ok, clean but concrete showers with a curtain and takes a while to get hot water. Lots of trails and a cute nature center. They only have two playgrounds, but a big pool for summer fun. I love it here, it’s usually not crowded and super peaceful. We prefer most lots on the outer edge of the campground. A lot of the picnic tables are old and require covers.

Nice overall campground
We happened across this place and couldn’t have found a more friendly place to camp. Owner introduce himself right away and told us all about the area and history of campground. Pool wasn’t open yet but nice safe place to camp.

Nice weekend getaway
The campground here has been very nice. Coming into the campground there are two areas of road that have been torn out and need repaired, but nothing you couldn't get over, just slow down. Otherwise, nice campsites, plenty of space, well maintained, water and showers already on at comfort station. Tons of kids with large play park. We liked that the park had small walk trails within the campground with direct routes to the comfort station, and lights at the start of the path to identify it. All around, great experience, will be back again.

A tad noisy
All sound carried on our loop. We heard everything from conversation to wood chopping a bit loudly. It was quiet until 8pm when people really started showing up for the weekend.
