Good campground with minimal amenities

Nice spot on Muskingum River, north of Zanesville, Ohio; adjacent to historic lock 11 (no longer operational but locks down river are). Bathroom but no showers. Only water is in bathroom. Large grass covered sites. Popular weekend spot for locals.  Bank Fishing in river by locals as well. $22 summer rate per site.

SiteSite 1. Adjacent to lock.
