Best RV Parks & Resorts near Carey, OH

Our site was $59.95 a night.

We were in Site# 504. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level. We were charged $25 additional for my jeep since we were towing the trailer. We also were charged $10 because we arrived at 1:25 PM and check-in is at 2 PM. The park was close to empty so arriving early was not an inconvenience. We drove ourselves to our spot (no escort).

Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.

There is free WiFi, although not strong. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

They pickup your garbage at your site daily before noon.

You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

They do have a Swimming pool but it is currently closed due to maintenance (although it just looked closed- no signs of maintenance being done).

There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes, corn hole, giant jinga.

They have a basic general store. There are not scheduled activities for kids.

There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. This is an RV park with tent camping and cabins to rent.

They have one shower house. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry a load.

They have a small fenced in dog park.

There isn’t tons to doin the actual city of Perryville. But Toledo is a 20 minute drive.

We have been camping at Indian lake since I was a chIld, now we our kids there. Roomy sites, plenty of shade. Not a lot of privacy. There is a sand beach for swimming (even a separate doggy beach!) or a new in-ground pool. Primitive to full hook-up sites available as well as “boat-camping” sites.

Site 32 is a big site in a small campground. We've been in this site before and like it because we can have out kitchen set up by the camper, the fire ring is below and out of the way and we have a lot of space to walk our dogs or hang hammocks. There is plenty of space for tents.

The pads are almost 90 degrees to the main road which can make it tough backing in a big camper. The full hookup sites are much smaller and closer together. The electric sites (where we stayed) are bigger and a little more spread out. There is a terrific shower house where the flush toilets are separate from the shower rooms. There are drop toilets at the end of the electric loop. There are also two cabins available for rent. 

The tall trees provide good shade, hammock hanging and entertainment with birds and squirrels. There is a very short hiking trail that will take you from the electric side to the full hook-up side. They just added new trellis's on either end and animal boards along the walk. The camp store is nice and has a lot to offer. There's a large playground and a couple of different shelters. You can throw horse shoes, play cornhole, partake in disc golf, kayak or go for a nice hike at this park.

We chose to go hiking and saw a little bit of color on the trees and a lot of mushrooms! We like the campground because it's small, kept clean and offers a variety of thinks to do.

Site 29 - this was a nice site in tall pine trees and colors all around. The pad was gravel and pretty level. We had trees in our site that could be used for hammocks as well. We were able to set up our ez-up and still have room to walk our dogs. It wasn’t the biggest site, but definitely not the smallest. We had electric for our camper. We had a good storm one night that caused a small pool of water out front and around the fire ring, but both areas drained very well the next day. There are vault toilets at the end of the road and a very nice shower house as you drive in that were clean all weekend. The park had a couple of playgrounds for kids, disc golf course and lots of hiking trails. The camp store is now open with limited hours. Wood is available but it’s all slab cut. There are also permanent cornhole boards. There are full hook up sites as well but are right next to one another and not a lot of trees. You can drive down to the lake and kayak and fish. It’s a very small campground with a very big park.

Our 3rd time to this park with a new site. We really enjoy this smaller campground with the tall trees. It has pit toilets at the end of the electric and a great showerhouse set between the electric and full hook up. Our site was really big and shaded. We have dogs so this site gave us a little more room in between our neighbor. We had trees we used to set up a small dog run and plenty more if you like to hammock. We have a small camper, but there was plenty of space for tents as well on this site. There is a slight downhill grade, but definitely not a turn off. Not all the sites have shade and not all are level. Some do gather water if you get a lot of rain. The pads are at a 90 degree angle to the road, so it can be a little more of a challenge to back in a big camper. The camp store is open on the weekends and are getting back up and running. There are a couple of playgrounds for kids, volleyball, cornhole, shelterhouses, disc golf and trails. There is a small lake as well that you can kayak, but will have to drive down the road to get to it. We found a ton of wildflowers on our hike (see our pictures). There is very small trail that connects one end of the campground to the other and then there is a bigger trail down by the lake.

Only 30 minutes down the river from Independence Dam State Park, this park was markedly different. Because there was a two-night minimum reservation on weekends and we were just passing through, we decided to try and roll the dice and see if we could slide into a spot for just a night without a reservation. Alas, the only spots still available were walk-in tent sites which would not work for us. This park was laid out more like an RV park with the sites very close together and no privacy between them (Site 16 looked to be the best one for privacy). Except for the walk-in tent sites, electric and/or electric/water hookups were available. As we pulled in, the host immediately greeted us and was very friendly (she genuinely wanted to find us a spot). There is a marina/store close-by and the quaint town of Grand Rapids (which you could walk to if you wanted) had several shops and restaurants. We would have stayed here for the night if a site had been available, so make sure you make reservations if you are coming on a weekend (and can stay for two nights).

This campground wasn’t level and the spots are so tiny I should have stayed at the KOA across the street for larger spots. That’s how small these are here. Our spot is on an incline. Full hookups are nice but dog poop galore. The pet owners here (not all of them) just let there dogs go anywhere and leave it. Sad. The camp store is nice and the staff is friendly. Restrooms are clean too.

No sewer hook up. Level sites. Sites pretty close to each other so only 1 car per site. Nice little swimming area with floatables for kids and sandy beach. Fire rings right outside your door. Friendly staff.

This was our first trip ever so we decided to go to a smaller state park. This was a really nice place to start. We were at spot #6, had a porch at the end of the drive which overlooked the woods and the lake. (Will attach photos) The trails were not long at all. Less than 2 miles total and it was beautiful. Very quiet all day and all night. We stayed the first weekend of April and was a little cold over night. They do offer frisbee golf. It was just an overall relaxing weekend and felt great to unplug from work and the cell phones. Would stay here again. Forgot to mention they had tent sites, electric only or full hookups. We paid $29 a night for the full hookups. They do have a dump station as well and portable water.

If you are a fan of nature are you a birder or just love the Blue Heron then this over night rest area is for you it has hook ups and dumps for RVs it has 24 hour gas and food available the rest rooms are clean and nice the picnic area is beautiful and you will see Blue Heron if your patient and paying attention as they nest in the area don’t be surprised if you see deer and other wildlife as well it truly is a nice peaceful place to get some rest or sleep over night

Very kid friendly. Clean bathrooms. Full hookups available. My kids had a blast!

Campground was nice and well maintained. The "Camp Host" came around a few times a day to ensure trash was picked up and needs were met. Site 8 has full hookups and a concrete parking pad. The roses are narrow and the larger rig next to us had issues getting in. The sites on our side of the road sloped away from the parking pad. It there wasn’t a level spot off the concrete. We had to use our leveling blocks under the picnic table.

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

sites with full hookup are very tight nice playground with jumping pillow Very Friendly staff Nice list of Craft activities Train does go by frequently and the tracks are close. The noise didnt bother us. way cheaper than staying at cedar point and worth it.

Van Buren State Park is very easy to access from I-75. It has tons of trails and a pond. There are a few places to car camp or RV camp nearby. I love getting out of town and visiting Van Buren State Park, and I have lots of good memories. It gets 4 stars because I now live in Montana and Montana camping outshines Ohio, but I can't bash on Van Buren State Park at all.
