"They had a scavenger hunt which made us really experience the nature around us, going through the woods off trail, going to the lakeside, walking around looking for different things on a list."
"October weekends in Ohio State Park campgrounds are super popular so we weren’t able to make a reservation here. "
"Not only one but was using 4 buckets at a time before dumping keeping in her camper before caught dumping behind camper and trying to fit it down a small hole where the honey pots go that you are suppose"
"The lake was pretty. Watching the herons was relaxing.
The people in our section were courteous. All seemed to obey the quiet hours."
$29 - $46 / night
"There are lots of caves, trails, camping options and activities in the area. Be careful, however, every year someone is injured or dies going off trail, often falling from a cliff."
"If you stay away from the main roads, you might feel like you're in a smaller campground."
"Cute, charming Ohio State Park. Enjoy 4 lovely hiking trails that showcase the parks features by taking you through the woods and fields. Fish is offered and their is boat dock ."
"An excellent disc golf course, hiking and beautiful lake views. Just past the town of Bainbridge, Ohio is Seip Mound to explore and hike the trails."
"No driving your vehicle any further than the bottom of the hill. Great location, very beautiful. Spacious in between 5 campgrounds and right next to the Scioto River."
"Got lucky and found an opening for site 5 which was right on river and away from the busier parts of park - didn’t see a single person. Nice tent pads, campfire ring, and provided wood."
"We were able to reserve a drive-thru site on the same day we wanted it. It looks like there are quite a few seasonal campers there. Sites have space between them, many are shaded. "
$4 - $27 / night
"The campground is about 2-3 acres large, situated on a hill with a path dug out around the perimeter. "
"The drive there was a very interesting tour of trump flags Amish buggies and more. Would come back if I was stranded in Ohio, but overall great pit stop for cleaning up on a long journey."
"Happened to be next to the park host. No choice of where to locate my large tent. Showers/bathrooms were OK--older facilities. "
"First off we have to say that Ohio State Park campgrounds are some of the best we’ve ever stayed in."
"The campsite is next to the 12 mile set of mountain bike trails. It is a great mountain biking/camping getaway. The trails are easy, so for all levels. Nice camping for families. "
"Great place to visit has three parks in one John Bryant and Glen Helen nature preserve and Clifton Gorge are some of the best hiking trails in south west Ohio."
$17 - $75 / night
"There is a little store, but note that the firewood is in huge, unburnable pieces, (as most Ohio state park firewood is), so you'll need tons of kindling and several firestarters, or an ax and some way"
"We stayed in Site 12, which was huge and conveniently located close to a fairly new shower house. That facility was among the very best I've seen! Amazingly clean!"
GuideHas a nice size dog park.
ScoutThe new owners of the Palmerosa Campground have put a lot of time and money into this campground! Almost everything has been tore down and rebuilt. The new shower house at the office is great! You have your own shower , toilet and vanity in a locked room!
The old horse stalls have been torn down and 28 new covered stalls have been built! They are amazing and plenty if room for larger horses.
They have 14 water and electric sites with plenty of shade trees. 30 primitive tent sites also with plenty of shade!!
This campground is a true hidden oasis! It won’t be long before other campers discover this peace on earth place!!
Scouteven though camp ground seems to have beach. Its beach area is just mud and murky water.
TravelerSpacious park. Well maintained. Paved sites, most of them fairly level. Well stocked camp store.
TravelerNice quiet campground. Very clean. Conveniently located to Columbus. Lots of seasonal campers. Only gray water hook up available.
TravelerIt was lovely, quiet, tree filled park. We arrived at night and didn’t see much of it until the morning. The bathroom was perfectly adequate but a long walk from our site.
ScoutGot a partial hookup site #38. We liked it here. Restrooms and showers were kept clean by city workers. The dump station was fine. Be careful of the water pump at the dump station. The water pressure was high so be sure to use a pressure regulator if rinsing your tanks.
GuideNice grass for your tent and plenty of shade. Lots of traffic both vehicles and people on foot. Sites are spaced fairly well but fully open to each other
GuideWe stopped here when passing through Ohio. Was a pleasant surprise how nice this park is!
Camp office was small but had a small selection of things for sale.
The campground is very nice, clean bathrooms, and showers.
There is a disc golf course lots of mountain bike trails and hiking trails! As well as some other great amenities.
