"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at Mount Gilead State Park Campground. The campground seemed to be geared towards people with RVs, as all the sites had electrical hookups."
"This is one of the smaller campgrounds in the Ohio State Parks system but it’s a little hidden gem."
"Delaware State Park is a gem in the Ohio state park system. What is amazing to us is how few people seem to know it exists!"
"This is another of our favorite Ohio State Parks. The campground is setup in a nice layout with each of the separate sections having a spoke and wheel layout with a bathhouse in the middle. "
"Happened to be next to the park host. No choice of where to locate my large tent. Showers/bathrooms were OK--older facilities. "
"First off we have to say that Ohio State Park campgrounds are some of the best we’ve ever stayed in."
$90 - $235 / night
"We swam in the lake and pools. We loved the paddle boat ducks and swans. The kids had the best time at archery."
"Nice campground close to Cleveland and Columbus. You feel like you’re lost taking the backroads to get there. We went in April so the water stuff wasn’t open."
$47 - $53 / night

"This campground is located in Mt Gilead Ohio off route 61. It is very clean and well kept. There are tons of activities for children and a very nice camp store."
"The lake is a hit so much that we never go to the pool. Having free, unlimited access to pedal boats and other boats is a huge treat."
"The campground is tucked away in a suburb of Columbus next to a soybean field, very quiet area. Only a 15-20 minute drive into town to go shopping if need be."
"At least three ponds all fairly nice with ducks and geese hanging around. There's a few sites are unlevel so you may need to use your levelers and maybe some blocks, we did."
"It’s not the most secluded spots but if you are looking for something tucked away there a few sites. The ability to tube down the river and walk back to your camp site was so much fun."
"The tent sites (short walk from parking lot) and one car per tent site. Our site was not the traditional walk up/park camp site. It was a nice change of pace. More space and great neighbors. "
"Kayaking on the lake is great. Camp staff very friendly and helpful."
"Beautiful lake, nice a quiet. Lots of waterfowl"
ScoutThis was a great all mens camping experience. A nice pool, clean amenities, and a bunch of welcoming campers made our weekend a lot of fun.
ScoutGot a partial hookup site #38. We liked it here. Restrooms and showers were kept clean by city workers. The dump station was fine. Be careful of the water pump at the dump station. The water pressure was high so be sure to use a pressure regulator if rinsing your tanks.
GuideNice grass for your tent and plenty of shade. Lots of traffic both vehicles and people on foot. Sites are spaced fairly well but fully open to each other
LegendBeautiful large park. Lots of amenities. Some spots aren't level but can be worked.
ScoutNice clean and friendly staff the only complaint is that the sites are not flat
TravelerA little loud at times. Hardee's restaurant is a different option for meals.
LegendGeneral: 214-site campground, all with electric hookups. Campsites are in four loops.
Site Quality: All sites are paved and appeared to be level. A fire ring, picnic table, and electric hookup complete each site. Generous foliage provides separation between most sites.
Bath/Shower: Fully contained all-gender units in the third loop. Each one has a bench and a baby changing station. Soap and air dryers. A more traditional bath/shower house was in the fourth loop (don’t know about the first two loops).
Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails (but it was raining when we were there so didn’t explore), a small putt-putt course (free use of putters and balls), disc golf, shuffleboard, basketball, tennis, and a small camper store. Each loop has a playground and other recreational options (i.e. volleyball net). The marina offers water toy rentals.
My five-star rating is based on the possibility of what our stay might have been if the weather had cooperated! Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy during our stay in June. We will definitely be back again to take advantage of the marina rentals.
ScoutWe tent camp. They have a great spot that’s set back in the woods. There are lots of trees. Very peaceful. Dislikes are no shower houses or toilets back there except one port a potty. The shower houses they do have not a huge fan of. Def bring your flip flops. They have a nice pond.
TravelerThe store and check in office weren't open to check in or get the wifi password.
