"The lake and forest trails surround this area. The restroom and showers are brand new and are spacious and clean! The fellow campers were friendly."
"Last weekend we stayed at Tappan Lake Park in Deersville Ohio. We reserved a spot in the “new section 5” of the park. I haven’t been to Tappan lake in probably 15 years with a RV."
"Great place to camp clean lake and fun to just hang out at the camper"
"Ohio has a lot of great campgrounds/resorts and this one is one of the best!"
"WTTR is our families favorite place to be during camping season in Ohio. It has everything you can imagine, it’s safe and CLEAN! We couldn’t recommend a resort more than this one."
$27 - $146 / night
"For the boats we were allowed to park down below right by the docks so I wouldn’t have to walk the hill."
"Lakeside spot, snow flurries, quiet except for the woodpeckers. It is a bit of a drive from the freeway, but worth the effort. Cell service is very weak, but the wifi worked for us."
$23 - $34 / night
"**Salt Fork State Park of Ohio is for individual, couples or group camping. Salt Fork lake is natural spring fed water supply that fills this lake."

"It’s nothing much, there isn’t much in the way of activity save a few trails."
"Gun range nearby."
"We're started in a tent, moved to a pop-up, and now we're in a pull behind travel-trailer."
"Very well kept, completely free 1st come campground just outside the very small town of Bloomingdale, OH. Pit toilets and no source of safe, clean water anymore."
"The campground is situated near shooting ranges so the gunfire lasts late into the evening and begins early in the morning disrupting the serenity a bit.
The best part - it's free!"
"Tucked away in southeastern Ohio is a gem of a park for camping, hiking and horse camping. Clean water, restrooms, playground, sand volleyball and basketball court."
"Fire pits have a nice grate to flip over and cook on (this varied highly bw Ohio campgrounds).
Nice hiking trails and the lake is nice. Lots of geese and the expected goose poop."
TravelerCentrally located in Berlin, OH. Office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions and dining.
In the part where I am it is gravel site but level side to side. The one and only issue is that water and electricity is located in the rear area of RV, while sewer connections are toward the front. I personally used 50’ of water line and 30’ of sewer line ( which I carry with me anyways.)
Has little if any shade on hot summer days. If you have children there is little if anything at all for them here. ( I personally did not see anything, however wasn’t looking) is mostly older adults camping here so very quiet.
I will definitely be back here anytime I am in the area.
ScoutThe campsite was spacious, the vibe is peaceful, and everything is well-kept. The staff is friendly, and the amenities are clean, which is always a plus. Definitely coming back!
GuideFirst time at this park I can see why it's always booked up. It seems like the sites are good sized but some are on slopes even the pads so make sure to bring stuff to level. Bathrooms were clean separate showers verizon works well here.
TravelerMore trails to add to the collection.
TravelerWell, honestly I love this place. I grew up in the Ohio valley and I love living here. I used to have a large family when I was young and we would get together here and rent out large portions of lots and all the kids would play on the trails and flash light tag at night. There is a section for horses and bridle trails for them as well, with one large trail that circles the entire encampment. There are play grounds, basketball courts, a beach. Fishing is good and you can rent kayaks and boats. There are bathrooms and showers which were recently replaced with brand new facilities. There is even a little store where you can buy snacks, camping gear and even rent corn hole boards. I have a lot of good memories at this place. I think you would, too.
TravelerIt’s nothing much, there isn’t much in the way of activity save a few trails. However if you like adding trails to your list or you’re fine with driving a little bit to Harrison or Salt Fork, they aren’t far away at all. The overall reason I gave 5 stars though, is because it’s free.
GuideWhen you pull into Beaver Creek Family Campground you pretty much have two choices: either you go left into multiple Pine tree sites or right into two cabins and more RV friendly open sites. A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks. I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers. I stayed in one of the first set of 3 pine sites numbered 43, 44, and 45. There is some brush and cover between these sites, but each has a pull in parking pad. If 45 was occupied with a RV, 44 would not be as nice as it was. Backing into 44 and 45 would be tricky as well. To be fair any larger RV that came in better know how to get through tight quarters.
The back area of each of those 3 sites looked best to get even ground for a tent. My buddy hung his hammock between the tree to the left of the picnic bench and to a tree back and left in the picture of site 44. Site was fairly clean, but be sure to move the pine tree duff away from the fire pits to be safe.
Probably the nicest pit toilets I have experienced and while we didn't use, it the sun shower building would give anyone privacy if they had packed a portable shower. Lots of trails to choose from and the pioneer village in the state park gives you many options to spend the day. Had some luck fishing at the Canoe/Kayak area in the South East area of the park close to the Group Camp Sites.
ScoutVery nice campground, convenient and clean. A lot of lake front camp sites
TravelerDated, but pretty clean bath\shower building with clothes washer and dryer ($2). Sites in C-loop are far enough apart to not feel too crammed together. Power pedestal has 20, 30 and 50 amp service. 30 amp worked fine. Lots of trails, allowing dogs on leash. True, other amenities are a drive of at least a couple miles to get to. ATT service was fine for streaming using ROKU and my phone as a hotspot. Paved, level pads, but not long enough for largest trailers. Check size if you have one. Sites at South end of loop get the most shade
