The Newly renovated cabins here are amazing. It's peaceful and great place to just get away from it all.

I stayed here in the worse month possible for camping in ohio but the owner made it a great experience. They are very accommodating. Even though every thing was snowy and muddy I could tell this is a very well taken care of place. Shower house was clean and warm. The laundry mat washed and dried great. As a construction worker I have payed way more for way less. This place is gem for construction/oil field workers in the area.

Piedmont lake campground is one of the nicest, most convenient, and cleanest campgrounds ever say that. This is going to a lot of recent updates including: nicely poured pads for all the campsites, clean and updated restrooms, and some additional cabins that are available for rent. All you have to do is write up, and you’re ready to enjoy the lake!
Speaking of the lake, Piedmont lake is obviously the biggest draw for this campground. Home to some of the best fishing in Ohio, the lake is also a great place to cruise around for a while.
Quick tip: plan on spending some time in the marina. Can you place for a quick bite, or have some fun with the kiddos!
RangerWe enjoyed renting a cabin with the family at several different times.
The mountain bike trails are so rugged and fun, difficult for biking. You can hike them too, and they offer nice views of the lake.
The area seems to have a skunk issue at times, and it can get smelly near the cabins.
The cabins have nice fire pits and kitchens have enough space and facilities to make a nice family dinner.
The lake is large enough to boat on and you can do paddling sports there easily.
The park has tennis courts and lots of other recreation: boating, hiking, swimming, biking.
LegendGreat place to rent a cabin! Inexpensive and always a pleasant stay.

I love the buckeye lake koa. Great cabins and amazing fishing.

I highly recommend pop's place. I stayed there Aug 2024 and as of that date the rustic tent camping was $20. This is an ideal base camp for riding your motorcycle on the scenic roads in that area of Ohio such as the triple nickel. The owners are very nice people and helpful. The porta john and shower were very clean. The shower uses an on demand water heater. The narrow cabin you see in some photos is now a gravel pad for RV type camping with electric. The wider cabin in the photos is still there, but was currently rented so he couldn't take me on a tour of it. He took me on a tour of the new cabin he is building and it will be a nice play to stay when he is done. They sell firewood for $5. The common grass area has wood lounge chairs, common fire ring, playground, and cornhole boards. If you are tent camping and need to charge your phone he has no problem with you using the electric outlet at the RV site if no one is there. I forgot to suggest to him that maybe add an external electric outlet at the shower house since electric is there for the water heater. There is a spigot on the outside of the shower house to get drinking water. There is a basketball backboard near the current cabin if you happen to bring a basketball for your kids to use. There is good verizon cell service there, I did not expect it because of the location and hills in the area. I don't hammock camp, but it looked like there were trees far enough apart in the line of pines for hanging 2 hammocks. One of the photos showed 3 picnic tables for tent campers. There was only one when I stayed, but I assume it's a temporary or cyclical thing and I was the only tent camper and would have shared it anyway.
Of note for motorcyclists is that the road the campground is on is paved (good riding to the north of it) and the campground drive is decent gravel for street bikes.

Great cabin with a lot of room for family. Easy access to the water for a fun-filled day off boating.

Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available and the staff is friendly, grounds are clean and nicely kept.
Scout
Bathrooms 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.
GuideNice lake lookout from lodge, smaller separate cabins are available. Lodge has good food with a view, and boat docks are available at the end of a trail behind the Lodge.
LegendThe KOA was what one expects of the KOA lots of features and not very secluded. The Kabins were lovely.
The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room. This means the back room will sleep four individuals. They also included little tables and benches so you can organize yourself in the room. The front room has a large bed that sleeps two. Then outside is the picnic table. Due to health code rules you have to cook and do food outside of the cabin.
Our first cabin some of the light bulbs were dead and as a result they moved us to another cabin. Problem solved.
The bathrooms were very clean and the folks at the camp store were very helpful. I will say that my friend that took a shower was frustrated as one shower was scalding hot and the other was cold. The floors were slippery as they didn't have a way to stop the water from going beyond the shower (no rim or lip). She didn't get to use the Family Shower as you have to get the key from the store. Shower time was usually before bed time with two little ones as they would get dirty playing during the day. Since the camp store closes at 8 PM she would just use the standard shower with her kiddos. We thought this was a great feature and would have liked to get a look at the family shower set up.
At the camp store, they would drop off the wood via golf carts as you purchased it. I was able to buy three bundles for $18.00 as it is cheaper that way. I also purchased two bags of ice.
The cabin was fun and we were able to keep our trip simple by packing less due to the cabin. Buckeye Lake State Park is close by and if you don't have a boat they really don't have a lot to offer non-boaters unlike other lake state parks. We didn't see any trails. We did go to the "beach" but opted not to swim. Our time was spent at the near by Dawes Arboretum and Newark's Earthworks (mounds).
**Will try to come back and upload more photos and videos later as tonight many of my posts are not fully uploading.

Nice campground, with 2 catch and release ponds. There are 30 & 50 amp spots, a cabin, for larger group, seasonal lots.....for rent by the year, and a shower house with flushing toilets!! Nice campground, close to nearby Salt Fork State Park, with a camp store on site.
RangerThis campsite kind of reminded me of the movie The Cabin in the Woods. It was woody and felt exactly like what a forest would feel like. There is a lake and the staff is pretty helpful. There is hot clean showers which is always a good thing
Scout
Came here and explored. Beautiful place. Seems like awesome cabins. Saw some staff members on a golf cart. Middle aged women. Waved and they looked away instead of waving back. Wouldn’t recommend a place without first knowing the staff are helpful. I’d rather camp in the middle of the woods than be around people that aren’t welcoming.
RangerMy family and I used to visit Burr Oak occasionally when I was young. In regards to what to do, activities center around the large lake. There’s an awesome lake with hiking, backpacking, and other forms of water recreation. Wildcat Hollow is another awesome location that is not far away. Overall is a good location, but nothing extremely special. However, there are a lot of lodges and cabins nearby.
TravelerThe little cabins you can rent out are awesome! They have bunk beds in them and are just enough to have shelter to sleep in and then spend the day outside. The park offered food in the store like fresh made breakfast, and there were plenty of activities to do. They charged a lot of money for some of the activities though. The bathrooms were super nice and very clean. My family enjoyed themselves at this campground a lot.

My family and I had been looking forward to camping here this weekend. The weather forecast was a bit iffy with a 50/50 chance for rain, but instead of giving up and canceling we decided to try it. We got our tent set up, but the rain was so heavy that our tent began to leak. We asked if they had any cabins available, and they did, but they wouldn’t credit us the cost we had already paid to stay. They said we’d have to pay the cost of the cabin in addition to the cost we paid for the tent site. We asked if we could get a credit for a future stay and they said NO. We asked about a refund for our second night that we weren’t going to use and they again said NO. They just kept saying that their policy is no refunds for any reason unless you cancel 2 or more days before your arrival date. While we recognize the need for policies like that, we also know that some circumstances, like torrential rainfall, can allow for GRACE and a waiver of the policy, or at least a modification (credit toward a future stay). They got our $105 for 2 days we didn’t use, and if they had exhibited better customer service they might have gotten more from us in the future, but they won’t get a penny more now, since we won’t be staying here ever again.
ScoutA clean park with about 45 sites total. Some are long term while others for shorter stays. They also have cabins and tent sites.
Nice pool, 1/2 court basketball court, playground, laundry and store.
They only challenge is you don’t want to meet a rig going out while you’re coming in. We are a 38 foot class A and met a 36’ 5th wheel on the curve at the entrance. We literally passed with less than an inch between us and I am pretty sure the 5th wheel went partially of the road.
But nice campground; quiet and clean.
Scout
The facilities were nice. A lot of activities for the kids. The staff was nice. The only complaint is we are new to camping and we purchased a fifth wheel. It was getting delivered to the site and the roof came off unfortunately. We asked for a refund as we were not able to camp on the site due to not having the fifth wheel. I do understand rules are in place when it comes to refunds but it was a very stressful day for us. They booked a cabin instead and refunded around $100. The staff did go over and beyond to accommodate us.
Traveler
I did not stay in the cabins. I tent camped. The tent areas are out past the Vue Bar and Grill. They are spread out and each has a fire ring, picnic table and fire wood is free! The people there are great, easy check in. The tent areas are spread out and there isn’t an actual road to each of the sites. I actually thought this was cool but not if its raining and you have a small car.
The best part is the Vue Bar and Grill, the food is surprisingly good. Cooked well and is large portions. There is many other things to do there as well. They have an adventure park but we didn’t make it there. Planing to go back.
ScoutWe camp here several times a year. Nice trails, good fishing, clean pool, boat rental - always fun no matter the season
ScoutBeautiful campground, well kept up. It’s our get away quick weekend campground destination.
LegendDog park!! and right on the lake!! Found this by mistake on our way out, and the dogs loved it. Access to lake, a beach, well fenced. I would give Salt Fork SP extra stars for this one, especially if there were campsites co-located.
Camp ground is easily accessible being just 6 miles from I70, leaving the convenience of Cambridge and city amenities close by while allowing for great trails and solitude. Stayed in campground A, and the front end has little shade, but being here in autumn was perfect for lots of sunshine on site. Sites with trees for tree tents is minimal. Drinking fountains are dispersed fairly frequently throughout campground, but RV hookups with water were limited during my stay. Shower houses and comfort houses all have flushers and sinks.
TICK WARNING!!!! After a morning hike down wooded Trail, we spent A LONG TIME pulling ticks from dogs...even though the temps were in the 30's overnight and everyone was treated with flea & tick protection.

We have been camping at Whispering Hills Jellystone for 15 years on holiday weekends. They have so many activities for kids and families. They have crafts, swimming, a lake for fishing, newly chip and sealed roads, jump pads x2, hiking trails, a creek to explore and play in, an outdoor theater, and so so much more. This place will keep you busy if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also very relaxing if you want it to be. The best of both worlds. Very clean and well maintained sites and bathhouses! Laundry facility available as well. They also have the best fireworks displays on holiday weekends in the area! They have sites that fit everyone’s needs, full hook up sites close to the pool, electric back in sites (where we normally camp) also close to the pool, we like the electric sites better than the full hookup sites but if you like having a concrete pad then full hookup sites are for you! They also have more secluded electric back in sites on the other side of the park away from the hustle and bustle of the campground. They also offer primitive camp sites as well as a variety of cabin choices. This place only grows and gets better with every passing year. I highly recommend giving Whispering Hills Jellystone a shot.
TravelerFantastic lake with good cheap boat rentals (paddle and pontoon) electric sites are definitely designed for RV or camper use instead of tent style. Electric sites are kind of small but not bad for a couple or small family. Overall great camp area with the lake and beach as the main attraction
