      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.

      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.

      Tar Hollow State Park Campground

      Super Relaxing and Peaceful

      We used Site 53, which is a pull thru. The site was spacious and level. The fire pit location is across a tiny stream; we enjoyed a campfire in the woods! There were no loud folks. The loudest thing we heard was the occasional bark of a dog (which we didn't mind).

      The restrooms were new and extremely clean. The staff at the camp store was friendly.

      There are plenty of places and opportunities to enjoy Pine Lake: you can sit on a bench or rent a canoe.

      We'd love to return to Tar Hollow when the fall foliage is beautiful.

      Our favorite one!

      It’s just beautiful there. Great for bikes. Good camp store, putt putt, bike rentals, camper beach. Easy access to fishing. And there a playground surrounded by a little stream of water that is so cool. New bathrooms are spectacular. Also has family showers.

      Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

      Ok

      The campground was well maintained and it did offer some fun activities for the kids (pillow trampoline, basketball court, mini golf). We stayed in the RV section and although the sites are grassy, we prefer more trees and bigger sites for shade and privacy. This is more of an RV park feel that we prefer. However, it was within close driving proximity to Hocking Hills State Park, which was our reason for booking. So it did the job!

      Beautiful State Park & Campground

      My favorite state park in Ohio (so far). Very clean, lots of activities, nice size sites. Easy to get to from Columbus and lots of activities.

    Guide to Lockbourne

    Glamping near Lockbourne, Ohio offers several options within 40 miles of this small village situated at 718 feet elevation in Franklin County. The area receives approximately 39 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush woodland settings for camping experiences. Most glamping sites in this region remain open from April through October, with a few locations offering year-round accommodations.

    What to do

    Water recreation at Pine Lake: Visitors at Tar Hollow State Park Campground can enjoy fishing, swimming, and paddling. "Pine Lake is nice, but the beach is a bit small. Overall, this has been a lovely place to relax and decompress," reports Lisa S.

    Disc golf courses: Alum Creek State Park Campground features an 18-hole disc golf course among its recreational options. "There is a campground beach and boat launch. Lots of hiking paths in the campground and in the park area. A great dog park with lake entrance for the pups. There is also some mountain bike trails," notes Jill B.

    Mini golf and arcade games: Several campgrounds offer family activities beyond natural attractions. "This campground was pretty great! There is a large barn with a few arcade games that the kids seemed to like," writes Fred J. about his experience at Top O' The Caves Campground.

    Hiking trails: Many sites connect to extensive trail systems. "This is not a campground - it's more like a park. It does have good fishing and a playground, and it is a good place for a cookout. They have bathrooms and a water fountain," says Sarah W. about Alum Creek.

    What campers like

    Private camping spaces: Campers appreciate sites with good separation between neighbors. At Delaware State Park Campground, "the 'pod' layout of the campground made for large campsites with good separation between sites," according to Nancy W.

    Lake activities: Water features rank high on visitor satisfaction. "We had an absolute blast at the campsite! We stayed in L and the kids loved being close to the water. The campground beach is an absolute must and we even got close to wildlife (aka some pesky raccoons)," shares Jenny C. about her family's experience at Alum Creek.

    Natural surroundings: The forested settings provide a true outdoor experience. "This is a great state park campground. There are some full hook ups but mostly just electric. They have pancake breakfast on Saturday mornings through summer and doughnuts on Sunday," writes Jill B. about Alum Creek.

    Wildlife viewing: Nature observation opportunities abound. "The naturalists feed hummingbirds at the nature center. They pull the feeders for awhile leading up to a 'Feed the Hummingbirds' program. So cool! The birds come right to you!" says Chris C. about Lake Hope State Park Campground.

    What you should know

    Bathroom and shower conditions: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. At Jackson Lake Park, one camper noted: "My #1 complaint was the bathroom situation. They were VERY far from the camp area and the bathrooms they did have only typically had one working stall."

    Limited cell service: Some areas have poor connectivity. At Buck Creek State Park Campground, you'll find "no cell service. Enjoy the outdoors! You are off the grid!" according to Sydney's review of Tar Hollow.
