  Delaware State Park Campground

  Large, well-laid-out park on the Delaware Reservoir

  General: 214-site campground, all with electric hookups. Campsites are in four loops.

  Site Quality: All sites are paved and appeared to be level. A fire ring, picnic table, and electric hookup complete each site. Generous foliage provides separation between most sites. 

  Bath/Shower: Fully contained all-gender units in the third loop. Each one has a bench and a baby changing station. Soap and air dryers. A more traditional bath/shower house was in the fourth loop (don’t know about the first two loops). 

  Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails (but it was raining when we were there so didn’t explore), a small putt-putt course (free use of putters and balls), disc golf, shuffleboard, basketball, tennis, and a small camper store. Each loop has a playground and other recreational options (i.e. volleyball net). The marina offers water toy rentals. 

  My five-star rating is based on the possibility of what our stay might have been if the weather had cooperated! Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy during our stay in June. We will definitely be back again to take advantage of the marina rentals.

  Road life

  Great park. Staff friendly and helpful bathrooms close to every site. Would be more convenient if all sites had full hookups

  Alum Creek State Park Campground

  Road Noise

  First time visiting this state campground and we only stayed one night, did not explore entire park.  Grounds well maintained, clean and decent amenities.  The sites are well placed and a good size.  But no water view on any of the “premium water view” sites in loop L, other than one L17 (the picture with view)  Same for loop K.  Guests and hosts were friendly and welcoming.  Quiet except for the road noise due to nearby busy roads.  The boat launch to lake access is very nice with plenty of parking and space.  Not bad for a stop when traveling through or a weekend.  We stayed with 34’ camper.  Site L15 (picture with red truck)

  Grand Lake St. Marys State Park — Grand Lake St Marys State Park

  One nighter

  We were just passing through for one night and we’d been there before but this is a new site to us. It had a decent level pad and plenty deep enough for our camper and tow vehicle. The site has a large side and backyard with a great view of the lake. The shower house was just a short walk. Check in was easy and so was finding our site.

  Large Established State Park

  Very well maintained, established state park. Sites are paved, level, and generally ample in space. Ample shade and privacy if needed. Amenities include boating, fishing, disc golf, MTB trails, live music select evenings, etc. Facilities are cleaned regularly. Staff are friendly and helpful..

  Great park

  Been here before came back because we liked it so much. Sites are good sized compared to alot of state parks good for tent and rv. Cell service is good, bathrooms are older and could use updating but are decently clean for use.

  Nice park but check in online is miserable

  The online reservation system is clumsy to use at best. And you have to make a reservation. And reserving adds another $6.50. The campground is nice, clean restrooms and showers. Plenty of shade The whole process of trying to check in just made me wish I was at work instead.

  Alum Creek State Park Campground

  Alum Creek - Nicely Designed and Well Maintained

  Alum Creek State Park is a very well designed State park. Its located north of Columbus, Oh just off I-71N. The sites have level pads. The park is very neat and clean. Our particular rv site was an electric only site (L06) but water was just across the street so if was convienent to fill the camper. This was a very pretty campground with boating and water sports as the main activity.

  When approaching the campground make sure you GPS is set for the campground and not the park. the two are separated by a few miles and signage at the park to the campground is not clear, especially, at 11:00PM when it is dark.

  While were there they had a trivia night which was fun and a free pancake breakfast on Sat. morning which was quite delicious.

  For Astronomers this is a Bortle class 4 site with an SQM rating of 21.27. I did not get observe from this site as it was cloudy due to wildfire smoke. Overall we had a great time at the park.

  The electric only sites were priced at $33/night.

  Delaware State Park Campground

  Great park

  Spent the weekend would've spent longer if not for work. Some sites were bigger than others but all had plenty of space and alot of tree shade. They put in a put put course recently, had disk golf. We were in section c it had upgraded single person shower house and I was told there in the process of upgrading all of them to that style. huge beach area and each section has its own playground for the kids. Cell phone service I had verizon which was 1 bar but the wife has att and her phone worked no problems.

  Well maintained, quiet and relaxing campground.

  My wife and I have begun our full-time RV living. We stayed at this state park during the transition from selling our house. We did not have time to enjoy everything this park has to offer. However, the staff was friendly, the campsites were well maintained and it was quiet.

  Buck Creek State Park Campground

  Leaves some to be desired

  It's easy to get there. The non-electric sites don't have a lot of space or privacy (ie; trees) between them, definitely no hammocking. There's also a private camper's beach that is absolutely serene, probably not safe to swim in. Due to it being a holiday weekend, it was busy & loud like you'd expect, but it was so rowdy we left early. When we showed up, someone dumped all their trash in our firepit, absolutely disgusting behavior. Two different camp groups, one in electric and one in non-electric, got into loud verbal fights that resulted in the police being called. Fireworks and loud music were played all night long. No quiet hours, or if there are any they're not enforced. It's still great for a night visit if you're in the area, but it's not a dream weekend getaway by any means.

  Great overlooked Gem

  Park Staff was great and very friendly.   Was lucky enough to get a Creek Side spot.  Nothing like coffee  with the Morning sun on a cool morning.

  1-70 overnight

  Clean and empty at this time of the year. Tried to do the right thing and reserve for the night however the booking site through the state wouldn’t work. Slept for the night after a long day of driving

  Alum Creek State Park Campground

  Very Noisy

  Everyone online is constantly raving about Alum Creek so we finally decided to try it out. Initially we had site A9 but when we arrived we realized the main road (55mph) was extremely close and loud. We ended up looking at all of the open sites and picking C3, which literally might be the best site in the park. Even still, the constant road noise and insane amount of small plane traffic is extremely annoying. The fire station across the street doesn't help either. The park seems to be roughly 80/20 mix of small sites to medium/ large sites. Usually my reviews are a ton of positives, then a few negatives. This one unfortunately is almost all negatives. The oddly places bathrooms have no parking, only the two shower houses on our half of the park did. I say oddly places because they are kind of in the middle of the woods with multiple paths going to them. You would definitely benifit by finding these paths before it's dark or you'll be lost like we were. Also you may not want a site with one of these paths if you don't like people walking through your site. Due to looking for a better site and it being October, it was dark by the time we finished setting up. One of the few nice things about the park is how dark it gets at night. Unfortunately, there are barely any signs around the park and the ones they have ahine green in your headlights and are almost illegible. Kind of like the light yellow site numbers on the grey electric box. The park does have many nice amenities like, miniature golf, a large dog park, many trails and a nature center. Down the road is a very large beach, a dam and parks. The absolute best part was the camp store. Literally the nicest people in the world were working here... I'm pretty sure we wouldn't stay here again, especially in the summer when it's probably crazy busy. Especially when Delaware state park is 10 miles away and literally our favorite park in Ohio. The two are complete opposites.

  My Favorite OH State Park so far

  This is my favorite Ohio State Park to camp in so far. Good ATT coverage, look carefully at length of pad as some are shorter. Lovely beach nice views. Only problem was some street noise and the Trick or Treating and Halloween events first weekend of October meant there were a lot lot lot of cars and people and 1.5 hours with the streets closed for activities.

  Peacful & Pretty

  We camped as a family if a full service site. The sites are large enough the kids can run around and not feel like they are in someone else’s area. There is a nice park for the kids, mini golf, and the small camp shop was very helpful for some newbies. It was the perfect place for our family to start our camping story.

  Nice Campground

  Great service and help getting the trailer positioned correctly. A few food options on site are nice. The actual sites are very small. Not much room to fit the trailer and vehicle. Basically the site is as wide as your awning.

  FHUs Sites in a field

  PROS 

  Able to reserve 144 days prior to arriving 

  Very nice campground but the design leaves a lot to be desired 

  Friendly camp hosts who were busy picking up trash in common areas and cleaning sites Moveable picnic table 

  Metal fire ring with cooking grate 

  Site D45 level asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass 

  Great view of lake from D loop; some had water access at rear of site 

  Quiet except for campground party animals who kept it going into the wee hours of the morning 

  Coin-operated laundromats in non FHU loops $1.50 wash and $1 dry 

  Free WIFI available and able to connect at campsite 

  Dump Stations at Park exit have complimentary hoses 

  Camp store sells hard dipped ice cream 

  14 miles from the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center 

  CONS 

  No senior discount

  $6.50 reservation fee for self made on-line reservation 

  Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

  Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

  FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

  Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

  Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

  Site number on electric utility box 

  FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

  No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground

  Alum Creek State Park Campground

  Nice road trip or weekend stop.

  Pros: This place is nicely wooded for shade and privacy. The sites are spaced really well. It feels like true forest camping. The super helpful and friendly staff made check in easy and pleasant, and lots of info was provided. Full hookup sites are available for 45 bucks, and there seems to be lots to do nearby.

  Cons: lake had a sign that said the bacteria levels were higher than state standards. A sign next to it said to watch for algae blooms. This man made lake has evidently been damaged significantly by the species that built it. We went in anyways because we had waited all day and it was super hot... but the water wasn't looking real clean and overall it was a concern and a disappointment. This is on the second day of summer so I can't imagine how nasty it gets in late summer. Some road noise and some trains, so not totally quiet.

  It is a pleasant place and has a nice feel to it overall. It worked well for a one night stop.
