    Charles Mill Lake Park Campground

    Nice older campground

    Eagle point is more rustic than the campground by the marina. Gravel pads, many on sloping ground. No way to know which sites might work for you until you look when you arrive. Someone did answer the phone, though, and let us move to another site.We had electric-only, by choice, for 2 nights. Water nearby. Not very many transient campers, but lots of "seasonal" to permanent-looking larger trailers. Quiet in our loop because only a few sites were occupied. Very nice bathroom and shower building. The dump station here is set up for emptying totes- not much room to park a trailer/RV for dumping at it. We drove to the dump station by the marina to have more room to work. Rinse water hose at the sewer opening had no water hose fitting on it (just a skinny brass angled spout), so no way to rinse our blackwater tank. Potable water was 40 feet away, but all water came out of a backflow preventer, so no way to use a hose. Disappointed with the dump station. Overall, it was fine for 2 nights. If you have a boat, there are lots of covers to explore on the lake. The water is very silty, and rather shallow in most places.

    Road Noise

    First time visiting this state campground and we only stayed one night, did not explore entire park.  Grounds well maintained, clean and decent amenities.  The sites are well placed and a good size.  But no water view on any of the “premium water view” sites in loop L, other than one L17 (the picture with view)  Same for loop K.  Guests and hosts were friendly and welcoming.  Quiet except for the road noise due to nearby busy roads.  The boat launch to lake access is very nice with plenty of parking and space.  Not bad for a stop when traveling through or a weekend.  We stayed with 34’ camper.  Site L15 (picture with red truck)

    Good overnight

    I didn’t see much of this park because I only stayed overnight, but I got a good nights rest and felt safe. A few of the spots are not level and it appeared that not all of them had tables or fire pits. It didn’t appear that anyone did drive throughs to monitor noise or who was there, but I didn’t mind. There were quite a bit of teens camping out and while they were pretty loud late into the night, it made me happy to see them camping and floating the river. The pit toilet shelters were large and clean too.

    Large Established State Park

    Very well maintained, established state park. Sites are paved, level, and generally ample in space. Ample shade and privacy if needed. Amenities include boating, fishing, disc golf, MTB trails, live music select evenings, etc. Facilities are cleaned regularly. Staff are friendly and helpful..

    Great Location

    Older state park, but very well maintained. Restrooms and showers clean and sanitary. Pool was not open yet when we were there. Close to hiking, MTB trails, canoeing. Sites are generally level with ample spacing. Park staff were friendly and helpful. We camped at Mohican State Park in a Motorhome on a site along the river.

    Nice Place

    I have tent camped, rented a cabin, and taken my RV there. It is nice by the creek and lots of trails nearby to hike. The pool is nice in the summer and the people working at check in and at the camp store are so nice.

    Worst service from a owner

    I grew up attending the pow wow every year for 30 years and used to enjoy this place very much with my entire family. Upon my most recent experience, I have changed my thoughts about this place and strongly believe that it needs a desperate change of ownership. My most recent experience has been the worst interaction I have ever had with someone who claims to be the owner. It started with being charged $360 for a site that was for myself, a disabled veteran mother, and father in law. Upon finding out they charged my mother in law another $120 for 3 people on my campsite, we went to go get our money back. After explaining the campsite arrangement on one of the 6 sites we had rented and our overcharged site, she decided to get rude with my brother in law stating "she was a millionaire and he could get off her property bitch" all this said after he had asked her to stop being rude! Unfortunately, she return $30 dollars out of the $120 we over spent, The campsite was riddled with poison ivy my 2 year old and I both got, and my brothers site did not accommodate the camper it was supposed to as promised, and was only refunded $25 out of his $80 deposit. Needless to say Mrs Jennifer Settles AKA owner/ Millionaire/ Scammer has earned a A+ for the worst customer experience we have ever encountered it was such a honor to give my service for people like you!

    Wonderful campground!

    This campground has it all! It is ran so well, with lots of extra amenities and services. The sites and bathrooms were very clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Our one and only con is the majority of the sites are very close together. It seemed like they squeezed more sites in wherever they could. It is in a great location and we would definitely return!

    Alum Creek - Nicely Designed and Well Maintained

    Alum Creek State Park is a very well designed State park. Its located north of Columbus, Oh just off I-71N. The sites have level pads. The park is very neat and clean. Our particular rv site was an electric only site (L06) but water was just across the street so if was convienent to fill the camper. This was a very pretty campground with boating and water sports as the main activity.

    When approaching the campground make sure you GPS is set for the campground and not the park. the two are separated by a few miles and signage at the park to the campground is not clear, especially, at 11:00PM when it is dark.

    While were there they had a trivia night which was fun and a free pancake breakfast on Sat. morning which was quite delicious.

    For Astronomers this is a Bortle class 4 site with an SQM rating of 21.27. I did not get observe from this site as it was cloudy due to wildfire smoke. Overall we had a great time at the park.

    The electric only sites were priced at $33/night.

    Beautiful lakefront sites!

    We booked a weekend trip here on a whim to visit some nearby attractions. After looking at the campground map, we chose a lakefront site in the Eagles Point area and were not disappointed! Beautiful views! Can bring your boat or kayak and drop in right from your site. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Staff were friendly and a ranger patrolled multiple times a day/night. We will definitely go back!

    Great park

    Spent the weekend would've spent longer if not for work. Some sites were bigger than others but all had plenty of space and alot of tree shade. They put in a put put course recently, had disk golf. We were in section c it had upgraded single person shower house and I was told there in the process of upgrading all of them to that style. huge beach area and each section has its own playground for the kids. Cell phone service I had verizon which was 1 bar but the wife has att and her phone worked no problems.

    Well maintained, quiet and relaxing campground.

    My wife and I have begun our full-time RV living. We stayed at this state park during the transition from selling our house. We did not have time to enjoy everything this park has to offer. However, the staff was friendly, the campsites were well maintained and it was quiet.

    Primitive campsite with kiddos!

    We had an absolute blast! We had a ton of shade at our site in mid July and could hang out really comfortably! Lord for the kids to do including an indoor pool and fishing at the pond!

    Overall, a nice campground

    We chose this campground over the state park because it is on the bike trail and the state park is not.  You can ride your bike from Mohican Adventures Campground into downtown Loudonville without going on any roads.  

    The campground is huge and we did not see all of it. It is well maintained and it seems like the owners and employees put a lot of effort into making it nice.  We were tent camping there during the week and it was extremely quiet at night.  Some of the sites seem close together, however we still had enough room for our car, bicycles, 8 person tent, EZ UP canopy, bathroom tent, and fire ring.  

    One downside was that there was a big cliff at the back of our campsite which we were not aware of when booking.  We have small children so this was not good.  Our campsite was shaded and completely dirt, no grass, so if it rained it would get muddy.  Not all sites are like that, but some are.

    Needs improvement

    The site is being renovated and a lot of work going on there. Bathrooms are terrible because of all the construction and minimal cleaning if they are even open at all. Staff is very new and friendly but this is not what we expected for a jellystone park. They didn’t have a yogi bear costume for my 2 little girls who were extremely disappointed. We had to tell them that he was sick. I will not be returning to this park for at least a few more years.

    Our fav campground!

    My husband and I love Mohican. It's a little bit of a longer drive for a weekend trip for us, but it's worth it. The river floats are super fun (although it can become a party river on nice weather weekends so take young kiddos at your own risk). The campground is clean with nice shaded spots. Nice bath houses with private rooms. We will continue to go back here.

    Friendly and scenic

    We had a great three nights stay here in June, weather was lovely. Dale, one of the volunteer hosts, even helped me with a problem I had in my hot water heater while I was there. Great access to trails and tubing along the river, and a friendly group of campers. Shower houses were meticulously maintained and grounds are nice and clean. Wi-Fi was kind of sketchy for video calling at least at my site number 44.

    Winter Time But No Snow

    We stayed on a full hook up site (turned off for the season) that had a nice concrete level pad. There was also a nice side pad that kept our chairs clean. A little further back in the campground to be close to the shower house that was open. Then found out that comfort station next to us was open - nice! Also close the water which was full and rushing all weekend.

    The camp store was open on the weekend and the staff was nice to chat with. They had wood, but it was slab cut which doesn’t burn very well. We decided against it. Lots of snacks and other items still available.

    Some sites were really close to the water, almost too close as the water flooded a few spots. The campground is nice to walk if you like to get in a little workout. They also have small camper cabins and them much bigger cabins which a few are pet friendly.

    We went on a hike by the covered bridge to one of the waterfalls. Lots of trials to choose from.
