What to do
Kayaking on the Mohican River: Access the river directly from several campgrounds with varying difficulty levels. At Mohican Adventures Campground, "We took advantage of their seven mile canoe trip which was rich with scenery and again, given the time we had chosen to go, we enjoyed much solitude on the river which took about 2.15 hours to traverse in our canoe."
Fishing opportunities: Multiple stocked ponds and river access points provide fishing without leaving camp. At Kokosing River Campground, campers note: "Beautiful lake, nice a quiet. Lots of waterfowl" and "Kayaking on the lake is great. Camp staff very friendly and helpful."
Bike trail access: Connect directly to regional bike paths from select campgrounds. At River Trail Crossing, "Bike trail access right from the campground. Golf nearby, Amish shops, canoeing. Great area to visit, we will return."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and common areas. At Berlin RV Park, "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS. Lots to do for kids. Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground."
Family activities: Many campgrounds schedule regular weekend events. According to one camper at Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park: "Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available and the staff is friendly, grounds are clean and nicely kept."
Amish country proximity: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to Amish attractions. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, a camper noted: "The campground is right in the middle of Amish Country so there's plenty of beautiful scenery, lots of shopping, wonderful roadside produce and cheese stands and other tourist hotspots so you won't be bored."
What you should know
Site spacing varies: Some campgrounds have more room between sites than others. At Wally World: "This resort is busy for most of the summer and sometimes feels a little cramped by how close some of the spots are."
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate from April through October, with limited winter options. Lake Wapusun RV Resort runs "mid April to mid October" with 316 sites available during this period.
GPS reliability issues: Several campgrounds warn about inaccurate GPS directions. One camper shared: "Getting here proved to be tricky, as it seems all of the GPS apps and my Garmin routed us on a county road that is not fit for RVs of any type. To find this place, search for 1 Wally Bridge, Loudonville, OH and then follow Wally Road a few miles to the campground."
Tips for camping with families
Indoor pool availability: For rainy days or extreme heat, choose campgrounds with indoor swimming. Mohican Adventures Campground offers "an indoor pool perfect for the super hot summer months. So much for the kids to do!"
Playground options: Several campgrounds feature multiple play areas for different age groups. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, "The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool. The park is in Amish areas so there is plenty of shopping to do. The camp store is stocked with lots of fun stuff and even had a cozy fireplace and rocking chairs."
Weekday vs. weekend stays: For quieter family camping, consider non-holiday weekdays. One camper at Kokosing River Campground noted: "Wasn't crowded when we visited in Sep. but I can imagine when it's full it's a little crowded."
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: Be prepared for unusual utility placement at some campgrounds. At Berlin RV Park, a camper noted: "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 (which I carry with me anyways)."
Leveling requirements: Some sites require additional equipment for proper leveling. A camper at Berlin RV Park shared: "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."
Seasonal RV options: For extended stays, ask about seasonal rates. At Sunset Springs RV Resort, "work is underway to continuously improve the sites previously dominated by long term seasonals. new pull through are perfect for our 40 foot motorhome."
