Paint Creek State Park Campground allows pets at its spacious sites. The grounds feature clean, well-maintained facilities with electric hookups, running water, and showers. Most sites accommodate tents, RVs, and pet-friendly cabins, though some visitors note that certain premium sites have limited space with awkwardly positioned fire pits and decks. The campground maintains a family-friendly atmosphere with multiple playgrounds for children, while dogs must remain leashed throughout the park. Bathrooms and shower facilities receive mixed reviews for cleanliness, with some visitors recommending shower shoes and noting inconsistent water temperature.
Rocky Fork State Park Campground and Pike Lake State Park Campground also welcome pets at their sites, each offering year-round camping opportunities. Dogs exploring these parks must stay on leashes no longer than six feet. Many campsites provide direct access to hiking trails and lake shores where pets can cool off in designated areas. The campgrounds feature pet waste stations throughout, though campers should bring their own waste bags as supplies can run low during busy weekends. Water bowls are available at many communal areas. Overnight temperatures in spring and fall can drop significantly, so pet owners should pack appropriate bedding for dogs staying in tents or cabins. Hillsboro Animal Hospital provides emergency veterinary services approximately 15 minutes from Rocky Fork State Park for campers with pet health concerns.

We stayed at site 67 next to the camp host. The camp site was nicely shaded with a small creek behind it."

TravelerOnly weekend stays and it ends in wintertime. I’m sure it’s pretty and all, but it’s hard to find legit, free dispersed camping in Ohio! Oh well, rest stops always work for car camping.
GuideAutumn is the best time to camp in Ohio. Lots of small bathrooms. Lake access. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the fact there was no quick reentry. Had to wait for rvs in front of me to register.
TravelerThis KOA sets the bar for the Ohio locations we have visited. The bathrooms are amazing and private. The tent site we had was huge and there were actually trees for our suspended tent and hammocks. The dog park wasn’t huge, but larger than most. The campground was completely full but still quiet and peaceful. The staff are amazing.
LegendLots of room! Privacy, some sites have accommodations for several tents as well as full hook up for campers. Some are adjacent to the playground There are tons of things to do: Miniature golf Disc golf BMX trails Small dog park Golf course Horse camp
ScoutVery clean, well maintained. A lot of nearby activity, private and open sites, lake, beach, trails, marina, bikes, putt putt, dog park, playground, laundry, water close, electric at sites, many "comfort stations" "wash houses" so not far from one.
RangerHas a nice size dog park.
TravelerWe stayed in Site 09. The sites are spacious with level, asphalted pads. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.
Toward the front of the campground is a great splash pad, playground, and dog park, which includes an agility course. These are located away from the RV's; therefore, the campground was very quiet and peaceful.
Nearby was a marina, fishing access, and an archery range. The surrounding hills are pretty.
The bath house was clean. A laundry room was available.
The only drawback was the lack of shade. Because this place is relatively new, in time--as the planted seedlings grow--this problem will lessen.
TravelerGenerous sized campsites, a lot of them are wooded which we prefer, with around 400 sites there are plenty to choose from! Bathroom/shower facilities are updated and usually well maintained. There is a large public beach but it's on the other side of the park so you have to drive all the way around to get to it, no short cuts. They have a camp ground beach but it's been closed the last 2 years. Lots of hiking trails, bridal trails and a bike path. Wish list for this park: Boat rental, dog park, dog beach/water access. Overall a beautiful park.
LegendJust a beautiful park. Clean well maintained. Lots of amenities. Paddle boats, marina, 18 hole disc golf, bike park, huge dog park, store,archery range, playground and trails.
