      Clay's Resort Jellystone Park

      NO communication and severely lacking customer service skills

      I won’t rate the other categories yet but I’ve been upset the whole process trying to plan my trip and the people have made it impossible. I’m constantly unable to get ahold of the park. I keep getting put on the“call back list” when trying to modify a reservation only for NO ONE to ever call back. I finally get ahold of someone after a MONTH… only to have zero customer service skills… they just said“oh we don’t even have a call list” so I ask for another form of communication I can have with me since my trip is in a month and I’ve had these issues for a month… they offer ZERO solutions and are not empathetic either. Another issue was last year I was hospitalized for several months due to an early twin birth so I had to push my trip to the following year… when I FINALLY got ahold of the park last year the women I spoke with trying to manage the rescheduling…was ZERO help surprise surprise… on top of that it took 13 calls and weeks before a manager got back to me…making the window to reschedule or get refunds closer to closing adding stress that you might not get to make your next move how you’d like… anyway…I simply asked for dates that matched the costs that we already paid for the trip so I didn’t have to pay more… I simply asked for it to be within the summer days since my previous reservation was during the summer time with all the extra water park and amenities that close at the end of August. I booked when my kid could use all amenities and there were no hour restrictions either due to still being in season. However the lady couldn’t accommodate or recommend any alternate dates to suite my trip that weren’t several hundred dollars more… now we started out with a trip all paid for last year with all amenities no hour restrictions to a weekend we had to pay more and are restricted hours wise on the summer amenities. As the person doing reservations you should be able to recommend dates and help me plan the trip accordingly to the money spent and not sit on the other end of the phone demanding I just give you dates…. After our trip we will never plan or schedule anything at this park again. Regardless of the amenities… for families traveling far distances you couldn’t make it anymore inconvenient, difficult, and time consuming for simply planning questions or just getting ahold of you in general. No sorrys…. Just a whole lot of…”hmm that’s weird well oh well, next” kind of attitude. Zero solutions just excuses. So that being first impressions not too excited to find out what we are in for when we arrive. Especially reading other reviews about deflated balls so you can’t use the hoops, broken a/c units that the property won’t even handle that their own employees have to give up their own personal comfort cause management won’t?… concession stands trash everywhere… broken hot tubs, WiFi not working in cabins for night time with children is tough…sad that my family’s first camping trip ever hasnt even happened yet and it’s been nothing but a headache to plan because of the staff. Yall make money to make the experience smooth for your consumers but somebody missed the memo.

      American Wilderness Campground

      Money Grubbers

      Made a reservation. Canceled since wife had to go into hospital due to an emergency. No flexibility in the 7-day prior window. State parks and others have all been decent to us over this. We paid 3 days for a reservation we never used but canceled 2 days out. The park did not fill up so they took our money over a gotcha clause even after I begged the manager for her understanding. Under the circumstances, I was hoping they would compromise and take only the first night, but they are in it mainly for your money, I'm afraid.

      American Wilderness Campground

      Just beautiful

      fantastic place to camp with family and friends! There is always something fun and exciting to do, whether you're fishing, swimming, hiking, relaxing around the campfire, or enjoying the many activities throughout the campground. The atmosphere is welcoming, the scenery is beautiful, and it's a great place to make lasting memories.

      The Caves Campground

      Dyrt didn't pay for reservation, no refund

      Caves is great campground. However they do not honor dyrt reservations. Had to pay at the campground. Sent email to dyrt, no reply. They owe me 400 dollars, and I have not heard back. Dyrt, if you honor, I will update this review- until then, DO NOT USE!!!

      Mohican Wilderness

      Return campers

      We return to Mohican wilderness a few times each year and love the sites we choose right on the river.

      Most sites here are wide open field sites and would not suite our style of camping.

      Bathrooms are typically clean.

      Clay's Resort Jellystone Park

      Overpriced under managed. Great potential.

      I have to agree with all the other reviews. It’s a great facility with a ton of potential it just seems poorly managed. The sites are not up to par with other campgrounds in the same price bracket nationwide. The staff does not have great attitudes and are put off being asked to assist. They say no scooters or electric bikes but there’s a thousand golf carts flying around because realistically it’s not a walkable park. They would benefit from a tram or trolley on busy weekends to go from camping areas to activities. Check-in was rough after hours especially trying to navigate to find your site is extremely difficult. We drug a few trees across the top of our unit. We were originate to have friends take us to our spot or we would not have found it until morning. Underwhelmed for the $180/night camp spot.

    Guide to Glenmont

    Campsites near Glenmont, Ohio sit in the hilly terrain of Knox County at elevations ranging from 900-1100 feet. The Mohican River valley creates natural boundaries for many campgrounds, with water levels fluctuating seasonally between spring high water and summer low flow periods. Most camping areas experience a 20-degree temperature swing between daytime highs and nighttime lows even in summer months.

    What to do

    River activities: The ability to access the Mohican River directly from campsites provides popular recreation options. At Mohican Wilderness, campers enjoy "the 20 mile kayaking trip, such a nice little spot along the river & the best way to kick off summer!" according to one visitor. Some sites allow direct river access for fishing and launching personal watercraft.

    Hiking trails: Explore the extensive trail systems connecting various camping areas. At Mohican Memorial Forest Park, backpackers can access the primitive campsites and surrounding woodland. As one backpacker noted, "You can find a short 'trail' at the NE edge of the campsite that leads down to a ledge where a couple unofficial fire rings have been built."

    Family activities: Beyond standard camping, many sites offer additional entertainment options. Whispering Hills Jellystone provides "mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf" plus a "pond that was well stocked with fish" for catch-and-release fishing. The campground also maintains designated activity schedules throughout summer.

    What campers like

    Large, private sites: Many campers appreciate the spaciousness at certain campgrounds. A visitor to Mohican Wilderness mentioned, "even though it's a large park the sites are huge so you still feel like you can kick back and relax. Quiet neighbors and friendly staff plus everything is mowed and well maintained."

    Indoor facilities: For campers wanting additional comfort options, Mohican Adventures Campground offers "an indoor pool and hot tub. Also has pond with paddle boards and paddle boats that need to be reserved at additional cost." This proves especially valuable during cooler weather or rainy periods.

    Primitive options: For those seeking more remote experiences, free backpacking sites exist. One camper reported about Mohican State Park, "There are 10 free camp sites for backpackers in Mohican, each is about a mile hike in, no vehicles can reach these sites. There are 4 on the mountain bike trail and 6 on the horse trails, first come first serve, no reservations."

    What you should know

    Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly throughout the region. One camper at Mohican Wilderness noted, "We had no cell service but I was not expecting it. It was great to be screen free for a couple days." Another mentioned that at Mohican State Park, there's "no cell service with Verizon at this park."

    Navigation challenges: GPS systems often direct travelers on inappropriate roads for RVs or trailers. A visitor to Wally World warned, "Getting here proved to be tricky, as it seems all of the GPS apps and my Garmin routed us on a county road that is not fit for RVs of any type. To find this place, search for 1 Wally Bridge, Loudonville, OH and then follow Wally Road."

    Registration requirements: For primitive sites, proper registration is essential. A camper explained, "Make sure you get a reservation at the kiosk by the ranger station in the forest. Do not go to the state park as that is completely different. Do not camp illegally or without a reservation. They do post signs and ask other campers to report the illegal camping."

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for campgrounds with activity schedules: Families benefit from organized programming. A visitor to Whispering Hills Campground shared, "They have so many activities for kids and families. They have crafts, swimming, a lake for fishing, newly chip and sealed roads, jump pads x2, hiking trails, a creek to explore and play in, an outdoor theater, and so so much more."

    Consider water access: Sites near water provide natural entertainment. One camper at Pleasant Hill Lake Park mentioned, "The lake is an all sport lake so there is fishing, tubing, jet skis and kayaking. The marina has boat rentals available." This creates built-in recreation options for families with children.

    Check site layouts: Campground designs vary considerably. A family noted, "We stayed in a small group of sites which made it safe for kids to run around and play" at Pleasant Hill, while another mentioned at Toodik Family Campground that "There was A LOT of weird rules (no beer pong-not that we play anymore) but check in and out time were both 4 o'clock- Which ROCKS! (No hurry the day of checkout like normal.)"

    Tips from RVers

    Site surfaces: Pay attention to pad composition and levelness. At Mohican Adventures, one RVer reported, "We camped here off season and had the place to ourselves. We had a pull through site which was gravel. The sites seemed a little small so it might feel crowded during peak season."

    Hookup variations: Water and electrical services fluctuate seasonally. A winter camper at Mohican State Park noted, "Another Thanksgiving spent in our camper and it was so nice and relaxing. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off."

    Site selection strategies: Choose sites based on your specific needs. An RVer suggested, "RV sites are a little small and close together, but comes with a picnic table and fire pit. There are back in and pull through RV spots - along with nice shady spots for rent camping."
