      Wolfie's Campground

      Didn't have the best experience. Stayed a week and never even met a host. Had a late check in and the office was never open until Friday afternoon. Laundry machines were broken--not a huge deal but obviously not well maintained. Had a couple days with gunshots for about 6 hours straight. Lot 44 also a little unpleasant since you are at the entrance and will hear every single car/truck coming in and out of the campground because they get bounced by the speed bump. Loud enough to wake you up around 430AM. Location was pretty convenient to several small towns.

      best one we've been to

      We camped here for the first time this year and ended up booking 2 more trips here. We just finished our last trip. We love this campsite. No other place has sites this big and give you this much space. Awesome place to camp

      Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins

      Could not ask for a better site. Absolutely beautiful setting. A nice small lake for fishing, and a perfect shallow stream for kids to play in, running right by the sites. The pool house and facilities are spotlessly clean. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We even needed a jumpstart for our truck when we were towing the camper out on a rainy Monday morning and someone came around to help. 100% will come back and 100% would recommend to anyone.

      Alum Creek State Park Campground

      Nice Suburban Campground

      Right close to Columbus this campground is a staple for locals trying to just get away for the weekend. There is an amphitheater, a camper’s beach, nature center, and more all within the campground. Alum creek state park is a larger facility surrounding the campground with a public beach, walking paths, mountain bike trails, archery range, hunting areas, boat marina and more. The public beach is rather gravelly but has nice shower houses and grills available. We are attending during fall fest where they put on many activities for the campers and it is a lot of fun. You have to reserve 6 months in advance to be able to get in on fall fest unless there is a last minute cancellation. Our site is relatively flat parking, we didn’t need to level the rig. It did rain the morning we got here and the area around the fire pit was a bit muddy. The view out the back of this camp site is nice and wooded, you’re not looking at your neighbors out the back window. The sides you can definitely see each other but it’s still wooded and secluded enough between the sites here.

      A. W. Marion State Park Campground

      Site 47

      We managed to get several sites near each other for 6-7 families and we had a blast. Near bathrooms, quiet, and within walking distance of the kayak launch.

      Delaware State Park Campground

      Love this one!

      Great campground. My favorite is each loop has their own shower house! Nice playgrounds for kids. Nice private sites. Lots of woods and trails. Good lake for boating fishing and kayaking. Park is very clean and well maintained. They have a kids fishing pond! It’s also great for biking.

      Mohican Wilderness

      Site 321 and 320

      we come back to MW a few times each year as the access to the river and quiet nature of the campground is great. The playground is nice, the store is clean and well stocked.

      Campbell Cove RV Resort & Campground

      Pine trees, lake, and great spots!

      This campground is located near major roads and within a quick trip to Hocking Hills State Park. Tents spots are located near the lake and provide pine tree shaded cover. Bathrooms are private and very clean!

    Guide to Johnstown

    Several RV parks and campgrounds near Johnstown, Ohio provide full hookup sites and easy access from main highways. Sunbury/Columbus North KOA Holiday operates May through November with both 30-amp and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer hookups for RVs of all sizes. Lazy River at Granville, open year-round, offers sewer and water connections on level gravel sites suitable for larger rigs. River Trail Crossing in Butler features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service between May and mid-October. Most RV parks in the region maintain gravel roads with pull-through sites spaced adequately for slideouts and awnings. "Great, family friendly campground. Clean, organized campground, with TONS of amenities and activities."

    Reservations are essential during summer and fall weekends when sites fill quickly, especially at parks closest to Columbus. Dump stations can be limited at some locations, with one visitor noting long Sunday morning lines at state parks. Cell service varies throughout the region but remains generally reliable near Johnstown and surrounding communities. Many parks welcome pets with specific restrictions and designated pet areas. Limited winter options exist, with only select parks like Lazy River at Granville remaining open year-round. When approaching Alum Creek State Park, GPS navigation should be set specifically for the campground rather than the park entrance, as signage can be unclear after dark. Propane fill services are not widely available at most parks, requiring trips to nearby towns.
