"Wolf Run State Park is in Caldwell, Oh right off Rt 77. No big cities round here. Lots of Ohio farmland countryside though."
"Great smaller park, (1,000+acre) with easy access to the interstate. My Grandsons Love that the water is clearer than most lakes here in Ohio!!"
"It's not listed on maps, but it is right across the way from hook lake, there is an access road you'll go on that will take you there. It's right off 83 in McConnellsville, outside Caldwell, ohio."
"Very secluded, perfect for those nature lovers looking to get away from it all. No cell service and very little light pollution at night so perfect for looking at stars."
"We were camping there as volunteers with the Buckeye Trail Association to assist with trail cleanup. The Buckeye Trail is easily accessible from the campground for hiking."
"I showed up at 1am and drove around looking for a spot, settling for the one that was closest to the entrance, and much more private."
"Hook Lake AEP is I think the second largest of the campground areas, outside McConnellsville, Oh.
Hook Lake campsites are spread throughout the woodland loop above the lake recreation area."
"We did buy wood from a private home in a near by town. Great deal. $10 for a whole wheel barrow full of wood. Quality wood (dry and well cut). "
$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."
"Backed up to the woods, has a view of the lake, shade, privacy, hammock trees, medium size, electric, bathroom directly across the street, water and grey water dump directly across the street."
"It has recently been purchased by the State of Ohio. The ReCreation AEP campsites has an outstanding FB (Facebook) page."
"Maple Grove AEP is located outside McConnellsville, Oh and was ReCreated by American Energy Power.
The campsite is clean, basic and free with permit."
"Just outside the towns of Zanesville and Cumberland where you can find Ohio's famed Wilds there's heat opportunity for free camping."
"How special is that:)
I also liked this campsite as you could be by the cattails, grassy area, pine tree area, on a small island behind the covered bridge."
$25 / night
"Found this location last minute. Booking and directions were super easy. Met the owner who is a real nice guy. Beautiful views, great fishing, and a super clean set up."
"Great fishing and a beautiful lake. We are planning another trip soon."
"Views of the lake and ability to launch and dock your boat within walking distance of sites. Beach with concessions within walking distance of sites as well. Top rated campground."
"We stayed at Seneca Lake in our tent, while seeing other attractions in the area. The campground is full of trailers for the weekend and others that are staying all summer."
"We stayed near the beach and the wifi worked well."
"Great Lake and campground!"
GuideWas a great spot while we were passing through and needed a place for the night.
There was not manny people there, Sites are small back in, we stayed in loop two site 69 with great shade and electric. Toilets are vault style and very old so you can imagine it’s hard to clean/keep clean.
I do like they have water fountains with faucets every 10-15 sites. As well as grey water dump stations about the same spacing but stagers with the filling.
Showers were clean but only central and shared between all loops.
We drove through loop 1 on our way out and it looked to be kept up better and cleaner.
The lake was nice but I am not sure if they recently had some weather that caused it to be pretty brown/muddy, or if that’s normal.
Camp store wasn’t open yet for the season no other staff was Seen except one guy cleaning on loop A
TravelerHuge park with lots of options (electric , water, etc.). Very well maintained, and showers better than the one I have at home. Clean. Trees. Actual price was a bit more than appeared on line…sorta annoying but we were happy with our stay.
RangerIn mid April 2023 I arrived late afternoon and there were TONS of spots available. Happy with the spot I picked. There was some noise from other campsites, but overall not terrible. Strouds is an amazing park with incredible trails! Bathrooms were clean.
LegendVery close to the nice little downtown Marietta, Ohio but still very rural location. Large sites. Great staff. Absolutely love this place. Slow pace and quiet.
GuidePeople coming and going every 15 minutes ish. Some folks pull in stare at you for a few seconds then leave. Only staying one night here then moving on.
ScoutOverall not a bad spot for a one night travel spot but I could see it being more congested between April-December (OHV permitted season)
ScoutThis yurt is 100% Bigfoot themed and has all the essentials including a shower house with laundry, a creek, and an amazing bed.
GuideEasy pull-thru site for our small travel trailer. Each pull-thru is set-up for horses, but RVs are allowed (according to NFS website). Maybe because it was Halloween night, maybe due to hunting season, I dunno, but there seemed to be more traffic than expected for this road. Our only neighbors got a little... rowdy, but it was okay.
Campsite fee is $15 on the honor system. If you have a National Park's Golden Age or Access pass, they honor a 50 percent discount.
I had good 4G ATT cell service. Worked well, with no drops. Data was a bit slower than usual but still good.
The only facilities here were a single pit toilet (surprisingly clean) and a trash can at each site. There may be more services during the height of the season, at least water for horses, but nothing else I could tell.
A short distance further down the road, just after it turns to gravel, at the Old Stone Church trailhead, there are grassy places to back in smaller campers/RVs. And even further down the road, after it turns back to asphalt :D, there's a private campground with utilities, I think, but we only saw it and didn't check it out.
ScoutBathrooms very clean. Loved the free games. Cabin was very clean and had comfortable beds. Doesn’t make sense to have quiet time at dark when bar nearby plays loud music outside till late.
