We stayed here for free for 10 days as a part of a promotion that came with the purchase of our rig. Not sure about normal pricing though, as this campground is owned by Venture Out Resorts and they are a timeshare company (we had to sit for a hour long "pitch" to get our free days). They have 50amp, full hookup, pull through sites (and we saw 40+ ft rigs there) to tent camping to cabin rentals. The campground was clean (shower houses always looked great) and grounds were maintained. Amenities include an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna (close at 10p), but we did not partake because it was so overridden by children, chlorine, and no open windows - didn't seem worth any effort whatsoever in the July heat. The amenities we did checkout (close nightly at 8p) included their new 18 hole mini golf course, small arcade (4 games and pinball was broken 😢), loaner bikes, and water toys (we liked the paddle bikes). The company recently bought the property, so you can see what they inherited vs what it will probably eventually be like based off their sister properties (they recently added the putt putt and a big jungle gym) so it could evolve more as time passes. Regardless, in its current state as active 30 somethings, we were pretty bored. No hiking, significant highway noise, yes a couple big ponds, but a truck stop and truck storage is behind both - so no views. Most of the campers we saw were elderly or had young kids. I'd say if you fall into a category where you want to sit beside your rig all day or want your kids entertained (playgrounds, kids programming - it was luau week so they had a Moana movie night and other kid activities), go on and book a longer stay. If you're only looking for a spot to stay overnight by the highway, do it! It is simple to pull in and have full hookups to take advantage of but a 10 day stay is too long if you're paying. Other things to know: Walmart, Aldi, Lowes, and several automotive chain stores are at max 5 min away, which made grabbing some needed supplies super easy. That said truck stop above was very convenient to get into to fuel up our rig too. Fun fact: Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta and the Armstrong Air & Space Museum is also a max 5 min drive away if you want to get your inner astronaut fix.

We have stayed many times. Love being so close to the lake we can fish all the time. The beach is a bit of a walk from the campground but not to far. They offer canoe rentals, and bike rentals. The park also has beautiful cabins on the lake shore.
Traveler
Very nice, clean, people and staff very friendly. You must reserve a spot by phone or online only, no walk ins. I made my reservation while standing at the visitor cabin
RangerRelax on the waters edge in shear tranquility. Perfect beach for swimming, excellent trails for hiking, and awesome lake to boat. Multiple launch ramps provide ease and convenience. Rent a canoe or kayak and head out for some time alone or with your favorite person. The cabins are heated but pets are not allowed. Campground is huge as are the sites. Some are premium, there’s a few ADA and some lakeside making for a great view to enjoy your morning coffee.

This park is know for the lake that is kayak and canoe friendly since it doesn’t allow any kind of boat with a motor. It also features a beach , 2 playgrounds and several hiking trails. Just be careful if you hike with dogs since some trails intersect with a nature preserve which doesn’t allow pets.
The campground itself has 20 electric sites , 56 primitive sites and 4 camper cabins. All the electric sites are pull through and all sites have a fire pit but only the electric sites come with picnic tables.
Due to off season and COVID the camp store is closed and there is no camper host or park office staff around.
We did notice lots of downed trees on the poorly marked hiking trails. Some trails just started but no maps were around and no trails were blazed. It was hard to tell where we were headed or how long a trail was. I tried using the new Detour app and it wasn’t very accurate for this park.
We did have good Verizon cell coverage.

Indian Lake State Park is my close to home camping get away. Right on Indian lake, you can enjoy the beach, boating, swimming, fishing and relaxing. Last year, the state park added a nice inground swimming pool. the state park is a fun, family friendly, safe place to enjoy camping. It is kept up and maintained well.
ScoutIt’s my favorite campground so far. I may be biased, with it being close to home, but they have a lot for the kids to do. Beach, volleyball net, playground. Plenty of water locations. For me the bathrooms are unusable. Often a lot of bees swarming the bathrooms on top of the smell. I like that they have activities throughout the day for kids on the weekends. Also have a nice camp store/marina with canoe and kayak rentals at a reasonable price.
GuideWe stayed here in June for a weekend. The campground is pretty congested the roads are small and the sites are very close together but the grounds are clean and you have water and electric hookup throughout. The back of the campground area has lots of shaded areas but the front is directly in the sun it’s basically a open field with hookups. Rittenhouse has a pond for fishing in the back of the park and there is a big swimming pond that cost extra to use in the front. If your camping prices for adults are included for the pond but you have to pay for each child who swims everyday. The bathrooms were clean and well taken care of. They have a playground but it is very dated I would not recommend it. Overall we had a nice weekend there. There is a state park about ten minutes away we went hiking and fishing at. The only real negative we had was we were right next to a group of people who took up four sites and were very loud all night long and kind of rude the whole time. The owners/ workers were very nice and drive around the grounds a lot checking in with people. If your looking for a big fancy campground this is not it but for a little weekend getaway for my family it was nice. FYI if you do decide to go and use the swimming pond be very cautious. The bottom of the pond is very muddy and kind of sucks you down. We repeatedly got stuck so be careful especially if you have kids. Our friend daughter whose 15 got her foot stuck in water that was neck deep. It took two of us to help get her pulled out of the mud once she got stuck.
Scoutgreat like campground on Ohio’s biggest inland lake
GuideThis Ohio State Park is in a small quaint town. Good sites, nice beach + a real swimming pool. Many places for fishing from shore OR launching your boat ! There is even lots of wildlife especially of the pink vriety !

We stay here while visiting family nearby Ohio. Lots of shade and quiet even with families and usually pretty full, hosts are extremely nice and accommodating. Swimming pool is clean. Not far from highway but no real traffic noise. Check out the Template of Tolerance a few miles away in Wapakoneta. Definitely with a visit.
TravelerCampground had a nice well maintained pool with lifeguards. Campground had clean bathrooms and showers, and everything was well maintained. Would have liked more hiking trails. Only hiking trail is rather boring. The camper hosts nag about a lot of minor things that we’ve never experienced out of the several Ohio state parks we’ve camped out. So I would say average place.
RangerVan Buren State Park is very easy to access from I-75. It has tons of trails and a pond. There are a few places to car camp or RV camp nearby. I love getting out of town and visiting Van Buren State Park, and I have lots of good memories. It gets 4 stars because I now live in Montana and Montana camping outshines Ohio, but I can't bash on Van Buren State Park at all.
TravelerGreat service and help getting the trailer positioned correctly. A few food options on site are nice. The actual sites are very small. Not much room to fit the trailer and vehicle. Basically the site is as wide as your awning.
RangerSuper clean KOA with level gravel sites (no weeds popping up through gravel!) 2 Fenced dog areas, nice playground, game room, giant chess set outside, clean pool.. you name it, this KOA has it! I was impressed when Mike helped me back into my site.. it had a little wooden deck with a picnic table (I did not request nor pay extra for this perk!) I noticed something that I've not seen at other campgrounds: each of the waste connection covers had a 'fake' rock over the top. Very clever! The KOA is very tidy and well kept.
Nice folks here. I would highly recommend it!
Travelercampground is beautiful. they deliver pizza too! the store has a lot of different items, even socks! this was our first campground and I was impressed.
GuideGreat place to stop and recover from the road! Close to I75, level sites, laundry, showers, two dog areas and a store and restaurant. The managers are wonderful! We do not travel with children but the campground has a nice playground, nine hole puttputt, pool and other recreational activities. The campground is very clean and quiet at night so you can totally recover from ghe road!
ScoutStayed 2 nights here. Had a back-in, water/electric spot that was roomy as we were on an end. Wood deck, picnic table, and fire ring included. Very well kept grounds, friendly staff, and all-around good atmosphere.
ScoutMany of the amenities were damaged by a tornado. Therefore no pool or other water amenities except for the lakes. It seems that the 50 amp sights are very spread out and randomly located.
ScoutThis is a timeshare campground. We agreed to come, so we could get full hookups. We weren’t able to get them anywhere else. So this place called and we agreed to come. So far the staff has been fabulous and very accommodating. We haven’t attended “the meeting “ yet. That’s not until tomorrow. The people who called us promised us several things, we got here and they weren’t available. We had to change sites 3 times. 1 time after we had everything unhooked, and set up. We have been here 2 days and this is the first time we could have a night time camp fire. The wind has been so bad. We did get a list today, of the activities for tomorrow. Some look pretty interesting. It seems like there is something for everyone.
ScoutOur tour guide, Andrea started out well, promising to not be pushy. I was open minded but a little sceptical. We don't travel frequently because we have a medically complex child, so we usually just visit family and enjoy living on a lake. She proceeded to tell us that we aren't giving our children any quality of life! Well, we've been in and out of hospitals with open heart surgeries, trying to give our son a chance at life! She also talked about keeping "the kind of people who live in trailers" out of their parks... Which, while I live in a very nice house, I thought was quite an ugly and judgemental statement. She kept making snark comments as I tried my best to keep conversation light. At the end of it, after telling her no several times, she kept asking why. Well, the why is none of your business at this point because you didn't listen to anything we've said. You insulted our parenting for simply not traveling enough. You brought me to tears. While making idle conversation with you, I said we would probably be visiting Disney world for free, and you said we'll that must be nice. So I responded it would be through the make a wish foundation, so no, not really. Thanks for terrorizing us. You were pushy, snarky, and awfully rude. All because you didn't make a sale.
GuideBig lots , very family friendly , Well-stocked store lots of family activities the water isn’t swimmable at the moment but it’s still really nice nice bath houses nice toilets
GuideNice park on large lake . Some great spots to be had right along inner channels. Great fishing right from campsite
TravelerGreat access to the lake, really clean great fishing. Will stay again for sure
GuideThe campground and beach were very nice. The facilities are clean and updated. They have a pool on site as well but do to covid it was closed now. There are many playground areas throughout the campground for kids to play at. Some sites are directly on the lake you can pull your jet skis or boats and dock them at your site. There is a boat ramp near the camping beach with a nice large parking lot. The only real negative for me was it was very busy and congested. The campground is such a popular place especially at holidays that it was extremely busy and congested. Some sites were just feet apart from each other.
