    RV parks in the Newark region offer both basic and full-service options for motorhome travelers. Kokosing River Campground provides sanitary dump facilities with sites accommodating tents and RVs, open for drive-in access in a wildlife area setting. Hocking River RV Park, operating from April through October, includes 30-amp electrical hookups, water, and sanitary dump stations with sites suitable for various rig sizes. "Sites are close, but not unreasonably close. Good mix of pull through and back in and is big rig friendly," noted one visitor about Cross Creek Camping Resort. Berlin RV Park & Campground offers more comprehensive amenities with full hookups including 50-amp service, sewer connections, and water available from April through December, with spacious sites that accommodate larger motorhomes.

    Seasonal availability varies significantly across the area's RV parks. Most campgrounds operate from spring through fall, with limited winter options. Alum Creek State Park Campground features electric hookups with reasonably spaced sites compared to many state parks. According to a reviewer, "Spots were spaced nicely and you have room to stretch out without being in your neighbors sewer pipe." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, with most parks offering clean restrooms and shower facilities. Reservation requirements differ by location - state parks typically require advance booking for prime weekends, while some private RV parks like Lakeview operate on a first-come basis. Several locations accommodate pets with designated areas, though rules vary by park. Dump stations are available at most locations, with Whispering Hills Jellystone and Berlin RV Park providing full sewer hookups directly at sites.

      Cross Creek Camping Resort

      Big Resort with lots of trees

      This is a RV resort close to a lake with a lot of seasonal campers. It is busy on the weekend but was very quiet during the week. The sites are close, but not unreasonably close. Good mix of pull through and back in and is big rig friendly. Plenty to do for the kids. Pool looks nice, was not open yet for the season.

      Hocking River RV Park

      Scenic, easy in/out and on the river

      Stayed here 4 nights, pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43’ fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material). Fire rings are not near RV but behind across the road on the river. Bath house is just ok - not great, not gross. Close proximity to lots of hiking but Hocking Hills itself has become so crowded… don’t come if you want to get away from people.

      Hocking Hills KOA Holiday

      Great first time KOA experience

      We have never stayed at a KOA before and were very happy with this campground. The staff were friendly and professional, the sites were clean, and there were a wide variety of sites to choose from. From primitive tent sites tucked back in the woods to large RV sites with water/sewer/electric/cable hookups. We are first-time owners of a 29 ft Fifth Wheel and got a pull-through site. It offered little in the way of privacy, which was the only negative about the whole experience. Our site included a fire ring and a picnic table, along with all the hook ups. The night we arrived we were too tired to cook so ordered a pizza from the front office and they delivered it to our site. They also deliver wood directly to you. They escort you directly to your site so you don't get lost or go down a one-way road the wrong way. There was a nice little pool, but it wasn't open for the season yet. The shower houses were immaculate. The front office includes a little gift shop, ice cream, and pizza. This campground was also located close (within a few miles) to all the main hiking trails,and about 12 miles from Logan. The little road going up to the campground is VERY bumpy. It's not the campground road, it belongs to the Township, so its completely out of their ability to make improvements. This was only our second time out in our fifth wheel camper so it was a little scary, but we just drove slow and our truck handled it just fine. We will definitely be back to this wonderful campground as we love Hocking Hills.

      River Trail Crossing

      Nice little campground

      River Trail Crossing is privately owned, small campground (which we like) but nice and quiet. Sites include tents, small rigs and large pull through sites for big rigs. Sites located on the river are water and electric. Sites off the river have 50 amp and 30 amp. State route 95 runs to the right of the campsite so if you reserve any sites on the river (right side) you will have some traffic noise from the bridge. We reserved spot 32, farthest site to the right on the river. We loved it. The river was only about knee to hip deep. Most family’s floated with tubes and saw some kayaks. Not much for fishing at this particular section of the river. There is a paved bike/walking trail behind the campground - B&O trail. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. They do have 2 dumpsites available. We really enjoyed this campground, owners were very friendly and offer firewood and propane if needed. Mohican state park is only 10-15 minutes away which is really nice for hiking and fishing as well. We will be back!

      Hocking Hills State Park Campground

      Would stay again

      This walk in camp ground was located just minutes from Old Man’s Cave. It’s a family friendly and pet friendly camp ground. Our stay was quiet and relaxing.

      Cross Creek Camping Resort

      Excellent Campground!

      Cross Creek Camping Resort in Delaware, Ohio is a very nice campground with friendly staff and lots of amenities! There are large back-in and pull-thru sites, each with grass, tree, picnic table, and fire pit. They are 30/50 amp with FHU. The campground has lots of fun things for the family such as swimming pool, playground, basketball, tennis, dog run, laundry, yard games, and so much more! The store is stocked with snacks, souvenirs, clothing, camping supplies, holiday decor, etc. We love the large shade trees at every site. It is a blessing on those hot summer days. All in all, a great campground! Check it out when in the area. 👍🏻😉

      Berkshire Campgrounds

      Incorrect pricing

      The price advertised on The Dyrt is incorrect. It is not $38.50/day. We paid $50.29 with full hook ups. Very clean, staff very nice, but guests are not allowed without registering at the office. Many seasonal/full time residents which made for quite a bit of early morning traffic. Beautiful fishing pond with well groomed trails. Dogs are allowed off leash on the trails. Staff very pet friendly and courteous. Well appointed camp store. Water pressure excellent. Electric well within standard. Gravel pads, our site was off 2”.

      Tree Haven Campground

      Great first RV experience.

      Great little campground. My wife and I spent a month out there in a fifth wheel to see if we like the lifestyle. Very nice pool(clean). Great walking trail back through the woods. Pet friendly and the bathrooms were very nice. Well....I guess we did! We are now in a search for a Diesel pusher to go full-time!


    Guide to Newark

    RV parks near Newark, Ohio offer convenient access to central Ohio's state parks, lakes, and the Kokosing River Valley where elevations range from 800 to 1,100 feet. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally with closures during winter months from November through March. The region's flat to gently rolling terrain provides favorable conditions for RV camping with minimal leveling challenges.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Kokosing Lake: Visitors at Kokosing River Campground can enjoy paddling on the small lake with rentals available nearby. "Kayaking on the lake is great. Camp staff very friendly and helpful," notes camper Mark B. The lake is popular for fishing with multiple species available.

    Cycling on paved trails: Several campgrounds offer direct access to paved regional bike paths. River Trail Crossing provides immediate access to the B&O Trail. "Bike trail access right from the campground. Golf nearby, Amish shops, canoeing. Great area to visit," shares Bob M.

    Fishing opportunities: Many Newark area campgrounds offer fishing access, with some featuring stocked ponds. "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," reports a camper at Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Berlin RV Park receives consistent praise for its maintenance. "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS. Lots to do for kids: Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground," writes Tara T. about Berlin RV Park & Campground.

    Waterfront sites: Riverside camping spots are popular at several parks despite some road noise. "River Trail Crossing is privately owned, small campground (which we like) but nice and quiet. Sites include tents, small rigs and large pull through sites for big rigs. Sites located on the river are water and electric," explains Brian E.

    Proximity to attractions: Many campers appreciate the central location for exploring Amish Country and outdoor recreation areas. "Centrally located in Berlin, OH. Office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions and dining," notes Earl B. about Scenic Hills RV Park.

    What you should know

    Site sizes and configurations: Some parks have tighter spacing than others, particularly during busy periods. "Sites 26 and 27 are real small and private. Big enough for a pop up. Water filling and black water dump. Electric. Close to river," explains Brad B. about Hocking River RV Park.

    Road noise considerations: Several campgrounds sit near highways, affecting certain sites. "State route 95 runs to the right of the campsite so if you reserve any sites on the river (right side) you will have some traffic noise from the bridge," warns a camper at River Trail Crossing.

    Utility hookup layouts: Check hookup locations before arrival as some have unusual configurations. "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," advises a Scenic Hills RV Park visitor.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: Some parks offer significantly more family amenities than others. "Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available," reports Kayla S. about Whispering Hills Jellystone.

    Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer water recreation possibilities beyond just fishing. "Nice, small, shaded, well maintained campground. Beautiful lake, nice a quiet. Lots of waterfowl," shares Shelly S. about Kokosing River Campground.

    Age-appropriate campgrounds: Consider the primary audience of your chosen campground. "Nothing much for kids, so it's nice for peace and quiet," notes Tom H. about Scenic Hills RV Park, making it better suited for adult campers seeking tranquility.

    Tips from RVers

    Quick overnight stops: For those traveling through, some parks specialize in convenient access. "Staff is very friendly and we got a nice pull through site for a quick stop over my way to upper Michigan. There's a really nice pond and has water activities if you stay longer. Easy in/out," shares Bucky W. about Lakeview RV Park.

    Shade considerations: Tree cover varies significantly between parks and can affect summer comfort. "Asked for a shaded area...got a perfect one that had shade all day. Friendly and helpful staff. Free firewood. Very clean and well kept park," recommends Noel L. about Scenic Hills.

    Site leveling requirements: Most parks have reasonably level sites, but some require adjustment. "We had difficulty leveling one night in lot 3 but traded to #4 the next night and did fine. The many pull thru lots looked like a good level base," explains Craig T. at Berlin RV Park & Campground.
