Best RV Parks & Resorts near Delaware Lake, OH

Alum Creek Park is a big campground with a lot of RV hookups with fire rings at each spot. There are showers/bathrooms scattered throughout. Great place to take a ski boat and go boarding, skiing or tubing.

This park is fantastic because not only does it offer a large amount of more spread out RV hookups and campsites but also miles of hiking, mountain biking and horse trails as well as a canoe livery down the road. There are a couple waterfalls, a scenic overlook, fire tower, dam, pavilions, playgrounds and lots more.

I recently stayed 2 nights on site 304 which was electric only by choice and when we return we will opt for full hook up since those sites look brand new.

Positives:

• Lots are spacious
• Lots of activities: WhoaZone, boating, fishing, horseback riding, near Mohican Adventures for rafting, hiking
• Quiet and with friendly staff and seasonal campers
• Large beautiful cabins to accommodate any type of getaways

Less desirable items:

• Low energy because of the amount of seasonal campers at this campground. They stay to themselves and do not get too social. The transient sites were much less occupied so socializing isn't much of an option.
• Really large property so having a golf cart is almost a necessity

great state park campground. There are some full hook ups but mostly just electric. They have pancake breakfast on Saturday mornings through summer and doughnuts on Sunday. Helpful camphost. There is a campground beach and boat launch. Lost of hiking paths in the campground and in the park area. A great dog park with lake entrance for the pups. tmThere is also some mountain bike trails. Plenty to do for everyone.

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.

Private campground with lots to do. Full hook-ups, indoor pool, volleyball sand area, lake for catch and release, good wifi, kayaking/tubing opportunities in the Mohican River that runs through the area. The price includes 2 campers per site and anyone extra is $10 a night. We’be never encountered that and seems excessive. Amish Country is miles away.

...the two things that bring me back to this campground year after year. We have never had a “bad” campsite at the Alum Creek State Park Campground. Each camping space is separated by trees and brush. And there is plenty of room! An added bonus is the addition of several full hook up sites! While the beach inside the campground is small, the main beach for Alum Creek State Park is just a short drive away. One of our favorites!

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.

My wife and I spent Labor Day weekend here as it was close to Columbus and allowed family to come spend a night or two.

We appreciated the full hook-ups and pull through site. The staff came through every morning to pick up the trash. But, the water hook ups were accessible through a hole/pipe and we had to “fish” down to connect our hose.

The people here were really nice. And they had quite a big staff to take care of the place, life guard, and run the children’s events like Tye-dye, archery, etc. if you have kids, the pool and the lake activities will keep them busy all day and give them a great opportunity wear themselves out for a good night sleep.

The Wi-Fi was good but not free and was worth the $2/day to do some late night binge watching.

Overall, the park buildings and roads could use some repair/updates and there are a number of seasonal/year round rentals that could benefit from some repair and attention. The park is a nice getaway and the people and families we met were outstanding.

We’d come here again.

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.

We found this campground on the Dyrt app. No one from campground ever retuned my calls. I called the Expo center and a lady answered all of my questions. Over 300 sites, first come basis. Full hookups. Park on grass site, level. We like this kind of basic camping as we have a motorhome and use our own facilities. We would definitely stay again. Confusing to find. Our RV GPS no help, but Google maps on phone brought us right here. On Expo property but no signage for campground.

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.

Nice large campground with plenty of sites. We stayed in B9. A full hookup site with a pretty level pad. Nice flat site with a nice fire ring and lots of mature trees. Lots of new full hookup sites have been added to the B loop recently. We've also stayed in the E loop. Nice large open sites, not as private as B loop.

As part of a nearly 200-mile bikepacking ride, this was our last stop! We spent 2 nights in their "Class B" area down in the Mohican River Valley and loved it.

The oddly named “Class A” camping area offers everything from full-hook up camping slots for campers large and small, as well as just electric sites and 10 “walk-in” primitive sites, and cabins -- all of which are reservable. This area has all the bells and whistles of a modern campground with an environmental learning center, a nice outdoor pool, clean showers and bathrooms, an extensive playground and hiking and mountain biking trails right out the front door.

The “Class B” area offers 25 primitive sites on a first-come, first-served basis. It is almost 6 miles by road from the “A” services, but only a 2-mile flatish hike along the river trail. At these sites, there are only pit toilets and a water pump. Each site has a picnic table and a small fire ring. There is also a large group camping area just a few miles away from the primitive “Class B” area.

Tubing and canoeing are available within the park, but there are also several canoe outfitters in the area which provide rental / pick up services. The sheer number of these businesses makes me think that summer time can be crowded!!

Beautiful shaded trails meander all throughout the park and they boast some of the most challenging mountain biking in the mid-west, so read your trail maps. Hiking, equestrian and winter snowmobile trails also offer some great opportunities to get out and stretch your legs throughout the year. There is also a safe and convenient, bike lane / bike path into nearby Loudonville, which has a small grocery story and the usual fast-food restaurants.

Note: The only reason why this park didn't get a 5 star was due to their customer service. It was absolutely lousy, confusing, and the young folks working behind the counter acted as if they didn't want to be there and/or hadn't been trained. We almost left, but since we had cycled 42 miles to get there that day, we chose to stay and enjoyed our time in their Class B sites.
