National Road Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

One mile off Interstate 70 in Zanesville, Ohio, National Road Campground is a privately managed RV-friendly stop that runs from March through October. Sites accommodate rigs up to 75 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and a dump station is on-site. The campground sits close to the highway, and several reviewers note road noise from National Road is audible, though nights are generally quiet once traffic thins.

Two small ponds sit at the center of the property, and fishing is a recurring draw. Because it is private land, no fishing license is required, a detail multiple visitors highlight. A splash pad and playground add options for families with younger kids, and a basketball court rounds out the on-site recreation. Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews, particularly regarding the shower and toilet facilities, though at least one camper noted the shower building requires a door code that is not always communicated at check-in.

Sites are relatively close together, so campers who prefer more space between neighbors may find the layout tight. Leveling can also vary by site, and one reviewer with a pull-through reported significant front-to-back slope requiring extra blocking. Pets are allowed. Reservations are available and recommended, especially for summer weekends. Campers exploring camping spots near Zanesville will find this location convenient as a one-night stop or short-stay base along the I-70 corridor. Arrive with your shower building code in hand and confirm your site assignment before unhitching.

My family and I were just passing through for the night, and the vibe was great. It was quiet, clean, easily accessible, and offered a wide range of amenities. Highly recommend!

No mention of needing a code for toilet/shower building and was not provided one, so had to scurry to find it when nature called

Convenient

We stayed here for two months (November and December). It is conveniently located near I-70. Only a few sites are open through the off-season months. Owners are polite, but we’re rarely onsite during our time there. The bathrooms are clean, but were closed at times (not sure why), but we were able to use our 5th wheel so it was not a big problem for us. For the most part, this is a quiet campground and there seems to be some upgrades taking place. Two cute little ponds are at the center of the campground and there is a little store onsite, although it is mostly closed during the off-season. Campers are rather close with smaller lots. All in all, it was an ok campground and we would return again if we needed to stay in that area again.

Peaceful Campground

Great campground to relax. Two beautiful ponds to fish at. We got a full hookup at a very reasonable price. The owner Brian is very helpful and friendly. Not much to do, but just to enjoy the beautiful and quiet atmosphere, it is perfect. Cute little playground for the kids to play at.
