Long's Retreat Family Resort operates as a seasonal resort campground in Latham, Ohio, open April through October, with full hookup sites accommodating RVs up to 60 feet. Site availability skews heavily toward seasonal and permanent campers, so weekenders should expect a well-established community feel rather than a roster of open nightly sites. As of the most recent reviews, overnight tent camping has been discontinued, leaving cabin rentals and seasonal site leases as the primary options.
Cell service is essentially nonexistent here. Multiple reviewers flag this consistently, and Ben M. notes that "wifi is terrible" as well. For some families, this is a deliberate draw. RV sites can become muddy after rain, and at least one reviewer recommends a 4x4 vehicle if conditions are wet, so site surfaces are worth factoring into planning.
The activity lineup is the main reason families return year after year. The lake provides swimming access, multiple water slides, and a large floating dock with a diving board. A splash pad serves younger kids near the beach. Go-karts, a rock climbing wall, basketball, mini golf, canoeing, kayaking, and a full arcade round out the options. Sites near the creek provide direct water access and extra space, according to campers who have stayed there.
Bathrooms, showers, and grounds are consistently described as well-maintained and clean across reviews spanning several years. The resort has full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station on site. Campers exploring the area can also find places to camp near Sinking Spring, and nearby options include Cave Lake Park roughly a mile to the west and L B Camping to the northeast.
Families who have made Long's Retreat an annual tradition tend to book early. It is a good match for groups with children who need structured activity options and parents willing to trade connectivity for a few days.
