What to do
Fishing on Kokosing Lake: Kokosing River Campground offers direct access to the lake with excellent fishing opportunities. "Nice, small, shaded, well maintained campground. Beautiful lake, nice and quiet. Lots of waterfowl," noted camper Shelly S.
Canoeing and river activities: Mohican Adventures Campground provides canoe and kayak trips on the Mohican River. One visitor described their experience: "We took advantage of their seven mile canoe trip which was rich with scenery and enjoyed much solitude on the river which took about 2.15 hours to traverse in our canoe."
Family recreation facilities: Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park offers numerous kid-friendly activities. A reviewer mentioned, "Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available and the staff is friendly, grounds are clean and nicely kept."
Hiking trails: Many campgrounds connect to local trails, providing nature walks with varying difficulty levels. At Mohican Adventures, "There is a trail off the campground which is nice. The Mohican State park is full of great trails."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Berlin RV Park & Campground receives consistent praise for its maintenance. One visitor noted, "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS. Lots to do for kids. Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground."
Proximity to Amish Country: Campgrounds in the area provide convenient access to Amish shops and attractions. A Berlin RV Park camper shared, "The campground is right in the middle of Ohio's Amish country with easy access to shopping and food and other great experiences like the large cuckoo clock in Sugar Creek."
Winter camping options: Evergreen Park RV Resort offers year-round camping, unlike many seasonal facilities. A winter visitor reported, "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves. There were only 3 other campers there. The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool."
River views: Sites along waterways offer peaceful settings. At Wally World, "The campground itself is nestled in the bend of the Mohican river, so most sites have a river view even if you aren't on a Riverside site."
What you should know
Site spacing varies: Some campgrounds have closely positioned sites. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, a camper noted, "Very clean and nice campground. One negative for me was the campsites are very close to each other."
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds operate from April through October. Berlin RV Park is open from April 1 to December 1, while Mohican Adventures runs from April 1 to October 31.
Limited cell service: Connectivity can be unreliable. One visitor to Wally World shared, "There is zero internet and no signal which is fine for camping but made finding the weather or maps very challenging."
Reservation requirements: During peak season, advance booking is essential. River Trail Crossing stays busy during summer months, especially weekends near water sites.
Site levelness: River Trail Crossing has variable site conditions. One camper mentioned, "We had a riverfront spot for 4 nights, enjoyed our stay. 30amp, but the AC was still effective on a couple hot days."
Tips for camping with families
Choose activity-focused parks: Family-oriented campgrounds offer entertainment options. At Mohican Adventures, "There are back in and pull through RV spots along with nice shady spots for tent camping. Great spot to camp if interested in tubing/canoeing/kayaking down Mohican river."
Look for fishing access: Several campgrounds allow children to fish without traveling far. A visitor to Whispering Hills noted, "My boys were able to walk across the road to get to the pond that was well stocked with fish. It was catch and release but they were very excited to pull in some big ones."
Consider shower facilities: Clean bathhouses matter for family comfort. At Berlin RV Park, a camper shared, "Each shower has a locking door and a sink. Everything was very clean. The owners are extremely nice and helpful."
Check playground availability: Many campgrounds feature play equipment. One visitor to Evergreen Park mentioned, "Beautiful walking trail. Dog run is fabulous. Club house and pool are immaculate, including public restrooms and showers."
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: At some campgrounds, utility connections may require extra equipment. A camper at Scenic Hills RV Park stated, "The one and only issue is that water and electricity is located in the rear area of RV, while sewer connections are toward the front. I personally used 50' of water line and 30' of sewer line."
Route planning caution: GPS directions sometimes lead through unsuitable roads. A Wally World visitor advised, "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."
Site selection for shade: For summer stays, shade makes a difference at camping sites near Killbuck. One RVer at Scenic Hills noted, "Asked for a shaded area...got a perfect one that had shade all day. Friendly and helpful staff."
Water filtration: Some RV campsites have variable water quality. An RVer at Lake Wapusun suggested, "I'd have a filter for water also."
