What to do

What you should know
Reservation difficulties: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. One camper at Findley State Park noted: "Very nice, comfortable campground, kids loved it. 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."
Site variations: Campground quality varies significantly within the same park. "We stayed on the Eaglepiont side. It's opposite the main campground up the mile about .5 mile. The sites are not as modern but have more trees and natural beauty. The main campground is most cement pads and no shade," explains Joseph E. about Charles Mill Lake Park.
Tent stake challenges: Ground conditions can complicate tent setup at some locations. "Dirt in the campsites is packed super tight, it's hard to drive tent stakes. However, it's flat enough where it isn't really an issue," shares Evan D. about his experience at Findley State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-focused activities: KOA Campground Shelby offers extensive children's programming. "It is a very large campground, virtually in the middle of farmland. It is the draw itself. For the kids there are: activities, crafts, playground, jumping balloon, small zipline, lakes, heated swimming pool, ice cream. Everything a kid could want to do," explains Nick W.
Family-friendly sites: Consider campgrounds with designated quiet areas for families with younger children. "This is a pretty nice campground. There are quite a few trails and a lake with a beach for swimming. It can get fairly crowded if you are here with a trailer that requires electrical hookups since there are only so many sites available with electric but if you do not require electricity, you can get spaces away from the people and have a nice bit of privacy," reports Greg A.
Primitive camping with kids: Mohican offers backcountry options for families seeking more seclusion. "There are 10 free camp sites for backpackers in Mohican, each is about a mile hike in, no vehicles can reach these sites. There are 4 on the mountain bike trail and 6 on the horse trails, first come first serve, no reservations," explains John H.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Indian Trail Campground, RV sites vary in size and hookup availability. "Nice campground clean restrooms. Didn't use the showers since we had full hook up. Swimming Pool and trails to ride the golf cart. Activities on the weekends," shares Dawn S. Pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs at select campgrounds.
Winter RV considerations: Cold weather camping requires preparation, with limited water hookups available. Most campgrounds disconnect water lines between November and March, though dump stations often remain operational year-round. Electrical sites remain available at reduced capacity.
Road conditions: Access roads to campgrounds vary significantly in quality and width. KOA Shelby provides easier big-rig access, while more remote locations present challenges for larger vehicles. Some campground roads feature steep sections requiring lower gears for safe transit.
