Best Campgrounds in Ohio

Made reservation on line in February. I called and the recording stated they where closed. Early March sent email using KOA site email address cancelling reservation. Got a call the night of the date we where suppose to arrive asking if we where still coming. I let the person on the phone we had sent an email early March cancelling reservation. I was told they never recieved any email. I was charged for the reservation. 

Guess it is like a money garb. Definitely a reason why Canadians are not going to US. Wonder if the staff has the Trump label pins? If your that hard up for $$ glad I could help. Will make sure I tell everyone about how crappy this KOA is.

No time for pictures to much family time. Large beautiful park with lots of amenities. Boat ramp, disc golf, trails, kayak rentals, archery range and more.

Beautiful large park. Lots of amenities. Some spots aren't level but can be worked.

Despite the rain and the wind we had a great time! Our spot was right next to a small Pollinator trail that lead to the water. My little ones had a blast riding their scooters around the round about. The restrooms are a quick walk and very clean. The showers and park are a small walk but also super nice. There’s a few trails at the entrance to the campground and a canoe/kayak launch a few minutes drive from the entrance. Great little spot and can’t wait to come back!

Nice clean and friendly staff the only complaint is that the sites are not flat

I e been a seasonal camper at Kennisee for 5 years. It’s a great place with a lot of events and entertainment for family’s. Multiple fishing ponds , Friday night bingo , bands , fishing tournament for kids, duck race, Christmas in July and many other activities. Many amenities and very clean bathrooms and showers.

In the primitive camping the bathrooms are just outhouses, but I had so much fun here! I used to come to their beach all the time as a kid, so this trip was so nostalgic to me! It poured rain but despite that I had a great time hiking the trails and visiting the nature center!

Overall not a bad spot for a one night travel spot but I could see it being more congested between April-December (OHV permitted season)

The whole site is gorgeous and there’s a lot of people who are walking around the lake. The campsites are pretty close to each other so privacy isn’t much and the bathrooms are drop tank so the smell isn’t the best but it works. Overall we had a great night and hiked some of the trails they had

Coming here before April 1 (half the campground is still winterized) is great! Low crowds and a great location! Lots of available hikes. Even this time of year, the shower house is open and working. Potable water is available to bring back to your site. And if you are an Ohio resident 60 yrs old or older, get your Golden Buckeye card for a 50% savings on Ohio campgrounds.

The campsite was spacious, the vibe is peaceful, and everything is well-kept. The staff is friendly, and the amenities are clean, which is always a plus. Definitely coming back!

General: Large state park with 256 campsites, all with electric (20-30-50 amp) hookups. Sites 1-11 and 21-29 have full hookups (water, sewer, electric). Also, there are a lodge and cabins. The park is very well maintained. This park is close to Toledo and within spitting distance of several refineries although you’d never know it! 

Site Quality: All sites are very generous in size and appear to be spaced with a decent amount of space apart with foliage providing varying levels of privacy. Some have beautiful trees that in peak fall color would be stunning. All camper pads are paved and long enough to accommodate large RVs. Some have concrete pads for picnic tables, although the sites in our loop did not. A wooden picnic table and fire ring complete each site. 

Restroom/Shower house: Very clean, however, bathhouses are shared between two loops. Each bathhouse only has two shower stalls, which may necessitate a wait when the campground is full. A hook and a small bench but nowhere to put soap/shampoo in the shower. Good warm water. 

Activities/Amenities: So much to do! Several lakes are good for fishing or boating. Many trails, some grassy and some paved are good for walking, running, and biking. A beautiful and extensive boardwalk constructed by the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps is available only for foot traffic. Bike rentals are available. A small camp store. Laundry facilities. Donuts and muffins on the weekends. Several playgrounds. Bird houses and feeders are located throughout the park and especially in the spring, you can hear many varieties of birds chirping (however, you will also experience the by-products of so many birds!). Excellent cell service (Verizon). There is also a dump station.

There was a warning that due to the proximity to an urban area campers, bikes, etc. should be locked up but I didn't feel that vibe.

We enjoyed two stays at this campground, once in September and once in May. Even though this large campground was full when we were there on a weekend in September, we did not feel overcrowded. There were many empty campsites when we were there during the week in May (the week before Memorial Day); we very much enjoyed our stay both times!

This campsite always has me coming back for more! Best around.

Stayed here with 2 friends in early October. Very close to a lake with beautiful views.

Awesome campground for families and friends. Quiet and clean.

This is a superb campground with Xtra large lots, great staff and even better camp hosts. Spent Christmas here and got a pleasant surprise. They brought us gifts. Totally unexpected but thankful. We love it here and never hesitate to return.

First time at this park I can see why it's always booked up. It seems like the sites are good sized but some are on slopes even the pads so make sure to bring stuff to level. Bathrooms were clean separate showers verizon works well here.

We camped on lot 57 and the view of the lake was awesome! The new bathhouse is open year round
