RV parks near Farmersville, Ohio sit in the western portion of the state, about 15 miles southwest of Dayton. The region features gently rolling terrain ranging from 800-900 feet elevation with moderate summer temperatures averaging 85°F during camping season. During peak weekends from June through August, RV campsites throughout the area often reach capacity by Friday afternoon.
What to do
Creek exploration: 3 miles south of Farmersville at Natural Springs Resort offers a spring-fed quarry with unusually clear water. "The lake is nice and clear, pretty cold (would love to feel it in August or September). Fun to jump into and overall pretty," notes one visitor who enjoyed the swimming options.
Disc golf: Wilmington RV Resort maintains a course popular with families. According to a regular visitor, "We like the location to the State park nearby for hiking trails and mountain biking trails (Caesar Creek). They have a small Putt putt course, Game room, lending Library, Basketball half-court, horseshoes, Volleyball, GAGA ball area."
Fishing opportunities: Multiple stocked ponds available at several campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Indian Lakes, "Several fishing ponds and a lake with a beach area" provide options for anglers. A visitor mentions, "Fishing is very good, reasonable pricing."
Biking trails: Connected paths wind through several camping areas. "The park sits right beside a marina, so there is a lot of crossover between people staying here and going to the marina," explains a camper at Tucker's Landing, noting the accessible waterfront paths.
What campers like
Clean bathhouse facilities: Grandpa's Farm Camp Ground receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Bathhouse was on the primitive side but very clean. The pool, playground, and gaming covered shelter were closed for the evening, but were clearly in excellent condition," writes a camper who stayed overnight.
Heated pools: Several campgrounds maintain swimming facilities open from May through September. A visitor to Dayton KOA Holiday notes, "Excellent rural setting. One of the nicer KOAs. Great staff and facilities. Mostly level sites. Grass, trees, and a pond all very well maintained."
Concrete pads: Tucker's Landing offers stable parking surfaces. "Each plot has its own concrete slab for your RV, so you don't have to worry about parking in the mud," writes a reviewer, adding "Overall a really nice park, but I would be careful about finding an open spot. When we went there were only a handful left."
Fishing opportunities: Stocked ponds throughout the region draw anglers. "Beautiful park with ponds, pool and nice store. Friendly staff too! We made a note of this KOA to return for a longer stay," mentions a visitor to Dayton KOA Holiday.
What you should know
Varying site spacing: Tomorrow's Stars RV Resort has 210 year-round sites with different configurations. "Pull through we were assigned had very low hanging tree limbs. I called the office and asked if we could use space 41 instead. No problem! Everything is clean, well cared for, and really pretty," reports one RVer.
Seasonal popularity: Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends require advance booking, often weeks ahead. "We decided to stay here last minute. Read the reviews and went for it. 45' Prevost w/toad. Cost was EXCELLENT for a pull through, full hookups, and 50 amp service," notes a visitor about Tomorrow's Stars RV Resort.
Limited laundry facilities: Indian Lakes has fewer machines than optimal for its size. A long-term visitor observed, "The only negative things...were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can't imagine what it's like during peak season."
Varying site quality: Sites at Poor Farmer's Campground differ in amenities. "Very nice field rv camping. Well maintained and clean. The staff were very pleasant and curious and very helpful. I am pulling a 33 foot trailor and it was easy to park with 30 amp electric and water hookup," writes a visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Poor Farmer's Campground offers creek access for cooling off. "A stream that runs through the campground is nice for the kids to play in when it's too hot for them on the play ground. They usually have a lot of activities for the weekends planned," notes a regular visitor.
Playground equipment: Multiple sites feature play areas for different age groups. At Grandpa's Farm Camp Ground, one visitor mentions, "The owners are super nice, they have a nice pool and the playground is really big!"
Weekend activities: Scheduled events occur regularly at many campgrounds from May through September. At Natural Springs Resort, visitors appreciate the recreation options though one notes, "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."
Noise considerations: Evening quiet hours vary between campgrounds. At Indian Lakes, a visitor observed, "The only negative things I encountered while staying at this campground were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends. It seems like the same person would just cruise up and down the roads all evening."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose based on your specific needs. At Wilmington RV Resort, a full-time RVer reports, "I was able to get a full hook up site which I wasn't expecting. My hot water tank went out and I had to use the bath house and it got the job done. It was clean, which I appreciated."
Internet connectivity: Varies significantly across the region. One visitor to Indian Lakes noted, "I have great service here with my T-Mobile 5g internet as well as my starlink. Because it's off season, there isn't a lot going on, but I'm ok with that."
Advance reservations: Peak season weekends require planning. At Tucker's Landing, a visitor warns, "Overall a really nice park, but I would be careful about finding an open spot. When we went there were only a handful left."
Road conditions: Entrance roads vary in quality. One visitor to Natural Springs Resort explains, "The park is nice, however, our original site was TINY. Literally not even two feet around the fire pit on all sides. Luckily they were quick to accommodate our complaints and move us."
