    Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins

    Family Friendly

    Great campground with lots to do! RV sites are a little small and close together, but comes with a picnic table and fire pit. There are back in and pull through RV spots - along with nice shady spots for rent camping. Cabins are also available. Great spot to camp if interested in tubing/canoeing/kayaking down Mohican river. When you arrive everyone in the vehicle checks in, and then someone on a golf cart takes you to your spot. Campground has an indoor pool and hot tub. Also has pond with paddle boards and paddle boats that need to be reserved at additional cost. Quite a few playgrounds available and mountain bike trails. Small creek runs along the campground. All guests are given a wrist band that gives you a discount at the Trails End restaurant and at Mohican Adventures across the street.

    Mohican State Park Campground

    Winter Time But No Snow

    We stayed on a full hook up site (turned off for the season) that had a nice concrete level pad. There was also a nice side pad that kept our chairs clean. A little further back in the campground to be close to the shower house that was open. Then found out that comfort station next to us was open - nice! Also close the water which was full and rushing all weekend.

    The camp store was open on the weekend and the staff was nice to chat with. They had wood, but it was slab cut which doesn’t burn very well. We decided against it. Lots of snacks and other items still available.

    Some sites were really close to the water, almost too close as the water flooded a few spots. The campground is nice to walk if you like to get in a little workout. They also have small camper cabins and them much bigger cabins which a few are pet friendly.

    We went on a hike by the covered bridge to one of the waterfalls. Lots of trials to choose from.

    Cardinal Center Campground

    First camping trip 2020

    This was our first camping trip after purchasing a new to us fifth wheel camper. We chose the Cardinal Camping Center because it was only 15 miles from our home. We arrived on Thursday afternoon registered and set up at our site. Staff was very friendly and helpful, we shared some fresh veggies from our garden as we had way too much for just us and asked the welcome center to tell people to help themselves to what ever they wanted. we then toured the campgroundand found the stocked fishing lake (catch and release) the indoor swimming pool. The camp also has some very nice cabins, no restrooms in the cabin but they are very close to the public restrooms and shower house. We then went over to the shooting center and tried our luck with some silliolet and metal targets on the pistol range. Thy also have trap and skeet available. 

    Our site had ful hook-ups 50 amp service with sewer and water picnic table and fire ring for $44 a night. All of the people next to us were very nice and everyone respected each other's sites.

    I would go back to this campground again, we even extended our stay an extra day because we had such a good time.

    Mohican State Park Campground

    Unexpected Treat in Central Ohio

    As part of a nearly 200-mile bikepacking ride, this was our last stop! We spent 2 nights in their "Class B" area down in the Mohican River Valley and loved it.

    The oddly named “Class A” camping area offers everything from full-hook up camping slots for campers large and small, as well as just electric sites and 10 “walk-in” primitive sites, and cabins -- all of which are reservable. This area has all the bells and whistles of a modern campground with an environmental learning center, a nice outdoor pool, clean showers and bathrooms, an extensive playground and hiking and mountain biking trails right out the front door.

    The “Class B” area offers 25 primitive sites on a first-come, first-served basis. It is almost 6 miles by road from the “A” services, but only a 2-mile flatish hike along the river trail. At these sites, there are only pit toilets and a water pump. Each site has a picnic table and a small fire ring. There is also a large group camping area just a few miles away from the primitive “Class B” area.

    Tubing and canoeing are available within the park, but there are also several canoe outfitters in the area which provide rental / pick up services. The sheer number of these businesses makes me think that summer time can be crowded!!

    Beautiful shaded trails meander all throughout the park and they boast some of the most challenging mountain biking in the mid-west, so read your trail maps. Hiking, equestrian and winter snowmobile trails also offer some great opportunities to get out and stretch your legs throughout the year. There is also a safe and convenient, bike lane / bike path into nearby Loudonville, which has a small grocery story and the usual fast-food restaurants.

    Note: The only reason why this park didn't get a 5 star was due to their customer service. It was absolutely lousy, confusing, and the young folks working behind the counter acted as if they didn't want to be there and/or hadn't been trained. We almost left, but since we had cycled 42 miles to get there that day, we chose to stay and enjoyed our time in their Class B sites.

    Camp Sandusky

    Very nice campgrounds!

    There is so much structure and order to this campground! The grounds are laid out so nicely! One big circle with cross roads all along the way. You can camp however you'd like too! They have RV sites, tent sites and cabins. All mixed in together so you can travel with all your favorite campers. They do breakfast every morning in the front pavilion for $4.50 (all you can eat pancakes, 1 sausage and coffee) I haven't tried it yet, but its certainly popular. Laundry is open 24 hours a day and in an open area. Not the biggest fan of that due to needing to do laundry in the rain. Bathrooms are clean and standard. Row of toilet stalls and showers in a separate room. They have a stellar playground area, I don't have kids but even I was drawn to wanting to play on it. Very pet friendly around here. Close to downtown, near Cedar Point and all the other attractions over here. They have 2 pools, one being heated. We haven't had a bad rain storm while we're here but you can tell by the ground of our spot its going to be bad and super muddy. All in all this campground is pretty awesome.

    Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point

    Immaculate!

    Absolutely beautiful RV park! Gorgeous views of Lake Erie and walking distance to the gate of Cedar Point. Beautiful landscaping and very clean. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Good little camp store with reasonable(ish) prices. Too chilly to swim but the pool looks nice. Bathhouses are updated, clean and very nice, but pretty far from about half of the sites. One section has premium sites with upgraded grills and fire pits and crazy good lake views. The regular sites are still well landscaped and each have a grill and an extra long picnic table, but no fire pit. You can bring your own fire pit if your site doesn't have one. No bikes or golf carts allowed on the grounds, but there are Cedar Point buses available day & night as well as rickshaws during the day. Until now I have held Disney World's Fort Wilderness as the penultimate place for camping but they could learn a few things from Cedar Point! We stayed five nights in a pull through sites, #231. I would love to snag a premium site for our next trip but it may be difficult because they allow you to book up five years in advance!

    Malabar Farm State Park Campground

    Rustic

    I found Malabar Farm in Lucas, OH on my way home from Mom’s house. Never heard of it before and I have been this way for over 20 years now. Louis Bromfield was a conservationist and among many other things (including winning a Pulitzer) he was in the forefront of organic and self-sustaining gardening. This place is amazing! ( and would be an excellent home schoolers camping trip!) Not your typical going hiking kinda campground (there are trails but they are not “major”) you come here to step away from city life and tour a working farm. Ohio countryside at its best. Primitive camping with a gravel parking pad and water, fire ring, picnic table and hitching post. No reservations, this is a first come campground. There’s also a small rentable cabin open year round. Definitely worth a visit and very family oriented events. ( your teenager will roll their eyes at you but probably secretly enjoy the visit)

    Mohican State Park Campground

    Great park

    This is a great state park campground. We stayed at an electric site. The spots are decent sized, plenty of restrooms, pool, playground and camp store that sells ice cream! Tubing down the creek next to the campground was super cool too. Cabins looked very nice and secluded. We hiked to the swinging bridge which was newly dedicated (May 2021).

Guide to Ashland

Cabin rentals near Ashland, Ohio offer year-round accommodations across Richland and Ashland counties. Located in the rolling hills of north-central Ohio where elevations range from 850 to 1,200 feet, the cabin areas experience distinct seasonal changes with warm, humid summers and cold winters. Most cabin rental properties remain accessible during winter months when temperatures typically range from 20-30°F, though some facilities operate with reduced services.

What to do

Hiking trails for all levels: Visitors staying in cabins near Mohican State Park have access to multiple trail systems. "Lots of hiking trails and waterfalls. Free hike-in camping available here too," notes one visitor of Mohican State Park Campground. The park features a covered bridge, overlook points, and waterfall access points.

Water recreation options: The Clear Fork River and Pleasant Hill Lake provide opportunities for summer activities. According to a camper at Pleasant Hill Lake Park Campground, "The lake is an all sport lake so there is fishing, tubing, jet skis and kayaking. The marina has boat rentals available."

Winter camping experiences: Cabins offer year-round options for experiencing the region. A visitor to Mohican State Park mentioned, "Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off."

What campers like

Riverfront cabin settings: Cabins positioned near waterways provide tranquil surroundings. One visitor to the primitive campground at Mohican State Park commented, "It is right alongside the river and at the bottom of the gorge. Listening to the river is what makes this place peaceful."

Indoor amenities during inclement weather: Some cabin facilities offer indoor recreation spaces. At Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins, "The staff is friendly and the indoor pool and shower houses were amazing," according to a camper who visited during the off-season.

Variety of accommodation styles: Cabins range from basic to fully-equipped across the region. A visitor to Findley State Park Campground observed, "About half the sites are for tent or dry camping. Half have electric and a few of those have full hookups. We have enjoyed the shade at our site this week and the space between us and our neighbors."

What you should know

Reservation planning: Advanced booking becomes essential during peak periods. One camper at Findley State Park noted, "Only downfall is trying to find an open spot for reservations. Place is booked most of the time. If you're planning a holiday weekend you need to book 6 months in advance."

Varying bathroom facilities: Restroom and shower quality varies by location and season. A visitor to Lake Wapusun RV Resort with cabin accommodations reported "terrible bathrooms" as one of their complaints during their stay.

Uneven terrain at some locations: Some cabin areas feature sloped sites. A camper at Mohican Adventures mentioned, "The primitive sites are literally carved out of the side of a hill. The site we chose was on a plateau overlooking the lake."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Several locations cater specifically to families with children. At Cleveland/Sandusky Jellystone Park, a visitor observed, "Tons of planned activities for the kids. Movie nights, wibits (inflatable obstacle course on the pond), stocked pond, kayaks, Gaga Ball, RC track, jump pad, climbing wall etc etc etc!!"

Campground security considerations: Some locations have stricter quiet hours enforcement than others. A camper at Lake Wapusun noted challenges with noise levels: "On Saturday night, the campers next to us called and complained, nothing happened. The music was blasting until 5am."

Biking opportunities: Paved paths at many cabin locations accommodate young riders. One visitor to Pleasant Hill Lake Park mentioned, "The bike/walking paths for kids/adults is a great addition for campers with young kids."

Tips for RVers

Site selection guidance: Many cabin areas also accommodate RVs with varying hookup options. A visitor to Findley State Park advised, "I would recommend doing some research on campsites as they range from small to large for the same price."

Off-season considerations: Utility availability changes seasonally at many locations. A camper at Mohican State Park reported, "No cell service with Verizon at this park," which is important information for those needing connectivity.

Water quality variations: Water sources differ across cabin rental properties. A visitor to Toodik Family Campground mentioned, "Bathrooms are dated but also kept clean and don't stink," indicating the importance of considering facility conditions when selecting accommodations.
