    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    FHUs Sites in a field

    PROS 

    Able to reserve 144 days prior to arriving 

    Very nice campground but the design leaves a lot to be desired 

    Friendly camp hosts who were busy picking up trash in common areas and cleaning sites Moveable picnic table 

    Metal fire ring with cooking grate 

    Site D45 level asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass 

    Great view of lake from D loop; some had water access at rear of site 

    Quiet except for campground party animals who kept it going into the wee hours of the morning 

    Coin-operated laundromats in non FHU loops $1.50 wash and $1 dry 

    Free WIFI available and able to connect at campsite 

    Dump Stations at Park exit have complimentary hoses 

    Camp store sells hard dipped ice cream 

    14 miles from the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center 

    CONS 

    No senior discount

    $6.50 reservation fee for self made on-line reservation 

    Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

    Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

    FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

    Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

    Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

    Site number on electric utility box 

    FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

    No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground

    Buck Creek State Park Campground

    Leaves some to be desired

    It's easy to get there. The non-electric sites don't have a lot of space or privacy (ie; trees) between them, definitely no hammocking. There's also a private camper's beach that is absolutely serene, probably not safe to swim in. Due to it being a holiday weekend, it was busy & loud like you'd expect, but it was so rowdy we left early. When we showed up, someone dumped all their trash in our firepit, absolutely disgusting behavior. Two different camp groups, one in electric and one in non-electric, got into loud verbal fights that resulted in the police being called. Fireworks and loud music were played all night long. No quiet hours, or if there are any they're not enforced. It's still great for a night visit if you're in the area, but it's not a dream weekend getaway by any means.

    Glad we checked it out, but don't feel the desire to come back.

    Advertises heated pool and splash pad, but pool was not heated and colder than lake(major bummer- as this was a major draw for us) and splash pad is still under construction- not new and ready for 2021. Lake is nice and clear, pretty cold(would love to feel it in August or September). Fun to jump into and overall pretty. Wibit should be included or at least offer 1/2 hour slots. Everyone is very nice, close to cute coffee shop and stores in Richmond. Park is in need of updates, just feels used- but can tell that is in process. No COVID restrictions other than"stay distanced" sign, but our adults were vaccinated and we just tried to keep our kids distanced. Good WiFi, everything fairly clean, nice little store w/ inexpensive ice cream. No"bar& grill" as advertised. Newer playground structure, but for younger kids- no swings.

    Buck Creek State Park Campground

    Great quiet site

    A well manicured campground just outside Dayton, easy to get to, back in pavement site with 30A electric, picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of potable water spigots around, just not at the site. Dump station near the entrance of the campground. Walking trails along the lake well cared for. Plenty of activity with playground and an outdoor theater. Plenty of water-front pebble beach for enjoyment in the summer. Close to the campground is the marina with a restaurant , but won’t open til Memorial Day.

    Addendum: July 2021 - was speaking with a number of people who have been here and they suggest not going during the summer. There is a large influx of rowdy locals who don't quite respect the peace and quiet many of us like.

    Kamp Modoc

    What would you expect from Camping?

    Do you have kids? They have it covered, from playground, to lake with inflatables, train rides, Holiday fun.

    Adults? I see Cornhole every weekend, Campfires, Holiday Events, Golf Cart Parades, DJ's or Live Bands on the weekend, Friendly Seasonal Folks always up for a good time.

    Ameneties? Bath Houses, Laundry, General Store, Small Grill and Pizza Oven. (Pizza is not half bad either).

    Amish make their presence felt on a few weekends throughout the season, from fresh Bakery Goods to a Healthy Sized Sausage Egg Biscuit. (You won't be disappointed)

    Food Trucks on a few weekends throughout the season.

    Nice little weekend getaway

    Stayed 2 nights here. Had a back-in, water/electric spot that was roomy as we were on an end. Wood deck, picnic table, and fire ring included. Very well kept grounds, friendly staff, and all-around good atmosphere.

    Wapakoneta KOA

    Impressive!

    Super clean KOA with level gravel sites (no weeds popping up through gravel!) 2 Fenced dog areas, nice playground, game room, giant chess set outside, clean pool.. you name it, this KOA has it! I was impressed when Mike helped me back into my site.. it had a little wooden deck with a picnic table (I did not request nor pay extra for this perk!) I noticed something that I've not seen at other campgrounds: each of the waste connection covers had a 'fake' rock over the top. Very clever! The KOA is very tidy and well kept. 

    Nice folks here. I would highly recommend it!

    Lots to offer-tight sites

    Full service campground. 30, 50 am full hook ups. Water and electric only hook ups, primitive RV and tent sites. Some sites are shaded, most of them seem to be year round rented. Most sites not shaded and small. Lake with beach, fishing, boating, and scuba diving. Golf cart rentals, firewood for sale on site. Pool available. Camp store and hot food available on site. Cabins also available for rent. Within 25 min of Walmart, hole improvement stores, and restaurants. Overall nice campground with lots to offer. But in most cases there is parking lot style camping.

    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    Indiana State Park

    My wife and I spent Mother’s Day weekend at this campground. With heavy rain on Friday, the campground and flowing river through the campground. For the rest of the weekend our campsite had standing water around the fire pit and was similar to other site around the campground.


Guide to Fort Loramie

The Fort Loramie region sits in western Ohio's glaciated plains, with camping areas typically situated between 900-1,100 feet elevation. Most campgrounds stay open from April through October, with limited winter availability in non-electric sites. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F with moderate humidity and occasional thunderstorms.

What to do

Water activities at Indian Lake: Campers enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming at this 5,800-acre lake. Indian Lake State Park Campground offers boat access directly from the campground area. "Indian Lake State Park is my close to home camping get away. Right on Indian lake, you can enjoy the beach, boating, swimming, fishing and relaxing," says Angie B.

Miniature golf and games: Buck Creek State Park Campground features on-site putt-putt golf alongside traditional camping activities. The park organizes evening recreation for families. "The camp host on I think lot 71 or there about were great at keeping the activities going. Every night there was a movie and you could buy root beer floats for $1!! And the kids loved it," says Melissa M.

Hiking trails: Multiple networks connect camping areas to shorelines and wooded areas. Buck Creek offers hammock-friendly backcountry sites with mature trees. "I was looking for a backcountry camping site that would give me some privacy and make it feel as though I was deep in the woods. Buckcreek had great hammock camping spots and was just what we were looking for," notes Mandi B.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Wildcat Woods Campgrounds maintains exceptional bathhouse standards compared to other local options. "They have the nicest cleanest camp bathrooms/shower house I've ever seen. Fishing, pond swimming, trails," says Kelly.

Level sites: Most campsites in the area offer graded camping pads suitable for tents and RVs. Buck Creek State Park provides particularly flat areas with partial shade. "The grounds are level and grassy, with trees that provide partial shade. Restrooms are clean enough, and there are showers with nice warm water," reports Amanda P.

Spacious camping areas: Grand Lake St. Marys State Park offers unusually large sites compared to other regional campgrounds. "The site is huge compared to what we normally stay in. It was pretty cheap per night. Our site was nicely shaded," shares amber F.

What you should know

Water quality concerns: Grand Lake St. Marys has struggled with algae and bacteria issues. "The entire lake stinks of pig poop. All the air smells like poo. You feel like you are breathing feces when you approach the water. We were right on the water so we couldn't escape the smell," warns Megan M.

Highway noise: Some campgrounds, particularly those near major roads, experience traffic noise. Richmond KOA sits close to Interstate 75. "It's really close to the highway and LOUD! I like to hear nature when I came to destress not semis all night long," notes Julie E.

Seasonal restrictions: Most premium glamping near Fort Loramie operates from April through October. Electricity and water services are typically winterized by early November, limiting off-season amenities. "Must reserve online as they are still doing everything virtual. Camp spots were decently sized but no cover between camp spots and little shade," says Mike & Deb L.

Tips for camping with families

Book activities early: Weekend recreational programs fill quickly, especially at Kamp Modoc. "We went here Memorial Day weekend and had a great time even though it was chilly and rainy. The pond was great with the inflatables and water toys available for use," explains Amy H.

Pack for pool breaks: Many campgrounds schedule mandatory afternoon pool closures for cleaning. "There is a nice pool and splash pad. Weirdly, the pool closed from 4 to 5, leaving us with nowhere to go on a 90+ degree day," shares a Grand Lake St. Marys visitor.

Consider campsite proximity: Choose sites near playgrounds for convenience with small children. "The camping spot was great. It was very close to the pool and playground. The sites were pull through which was nice for have young kids. Could sit at our spot and watch our kids at the playground," reports Chad W.

Tips from RVers

Expect tight spacing: Natural Springs Resort accommodates many RVs in limited space. "Full service campground. 30, 50 am full hook ups. Water and electric only hook ups, primitive RV and tent sites. Some sites are shaded, most of them seem to be year round rented. Most sites not shaded and small," describes Jeremiah G.

Ask about gray water disposal: Not all full-hookup sites include gray water connections. "Must pay extra for a grey water site, and there's only a few. Small pool but nice people," mentions Stefanie C. from Richmond KOA.

Avoid pull-through areas: Grand Lake St. Marys has dedicated pull-through sections that campers find less desirable than back-in sites. "The pull through area is very cramped; more like a parking lot; the campground is quiet; family friendly; no golf carts all over," notes Kim M.
