The camping season in this part of Ohio generally peaks between May and September, with several campgrounds enforcing quiet hours to manage noise levels. As one visitor at Lake Wapusun noted, "Our campsite was a perfect mix of trees, shade, and space," though site quality and maintenance standards vary across facilities. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly for holiday weekends when facilities reach capacity. Water access represents a significant draw for the area, with the Mohican River providing opportunities for canoeing, fishing, and riverside camping at several locations including Mohican Wilderness and Mohican Reservation Campground.
Several visitors mentioned the family-oriented nature of campgrounds in the region, particularly at Whispering Hills Jellystone, which features amenities specifically designed for children. "They have so many activities for kids and families. They have crafts, swimming, a lake for fishing, newly chip and sealed roads, jump pads, hiking trails, a creek to explore and play in," according to feedback from The Dyrt. Campers seeking more natural settings might prefer sites along the Mohican River, which offer fishing and water recreation opportunities. Many facilities provide a mix of wooded and open sites, with varying levels of privacy. Road access to most established campgrounds is suitable for larger RVs, though some narrow county roads in the area may prove challenging for bigger rigs, especially when approaching from certain directions.
"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."

Check Availability"I camped here w 29’ travel trailer site 423 I think... on fields edge. At 1st didn’t care for it but after I noticed where sun was setting it became best in whole campground ."
GuideSecond time here. Quiet, except for the birds chirping.
Only 3 other campsites in use on an August weekend.
Water and pit toilet.
Enough At&t cell service to connect, but it's not great.
TravelerNice place to stay for the weekend. Inexpensive. No water hookups at the individual sites but potable water is available in the park. The downsides are the sights can get muddy if there is rain. Only portapotties nearby.
We had big storms roll through when we were there. Unfortunately a large branch broke off of a nearby tree and hit the engine hood of our RV and dented it in several places. It could have been much worse though and not the park’s fault. Could happen anywhere there are trees.
ScoutI won’t rate the other categories yet but I’ve been upset the whole process trying to plan my trip and the people have made it impossible. I’m constantly unable to get ahold of the park. I keep getting put on the“call back list” when trying to modify a reservation only for NO ONE to ever call back. I finally get ahold of someone after a MONTH… only to have zero customer service skills… they just said“oh we don’t even have a call list” so I ask for another form of communication I can have with me since my trip is in a month and I’ve had these issues for a month… they offer ZERO solutions and are not empathetic either. Another issue was last year I was hospitalized for several months due to an early twin birth so I had to push my trip to the following year… when I FINALLY got ahold of the park last year the women I spoke with trying to manage the rescheduling…was ZERO help surprise surprise… on top of that it took 13 calls and weeks before a manager got back to me…making the window to reschedule or get refunds closer to closing adding stress that you might not get to make your next move how you’d like… anyway…I simply asked for dates that matched the costs that we already paid for the trip so I didn’t have to pay more… I simply asked for it to be within the summer days since my previous reservation was during the summer time with all the extra water park and amenities that close at the end of August. I booked when my kid could use all amenities and there were no hour restrictions either due to still being in season. However the lady couldn’t accommodate or recommend any alternate dates to suite my trip that weren’t several hundred dollars more… now we started out with a trip all paid for last year with all amenities no hour restrictions to a weekend we had to pay more and are restricted hours wise on the summer amenities. As the person doing reservations you should be able to recommend dates and help me plan the trip accordingly to the money spent and not sit on the other end of the phone demanding I just give you dates…. After our trip we will never plan or schedule anything at this park again. Regardless of the amenities… for families traveling far distances you couldn’t make it anymore inconvenient, difficult, and time consuming for simply planning questions or just getting ahold of you in general. No sorrys…. Just a whole lot of…”hmm that’s weird well oh well, next” kind of attitude. Zero solutions just excuses. So that being first impressions not too excited to find out what we are in for when we arrive. Especially reading other reviews about deflated balls so you can’t use the hoops, broken a/c units that the property won’t even handle that their own employees have to give up their own personal comfort cause management won’t?… concession stands trash everywhere… broken hot tubs, WiFi not working in cabins for night time with children is tough…sad that my family’s first camping trip ever hasnt even happened yet and it’s been nothing but a headache to plan because of the staff. Yall make money to make the experience smooth for your consumers but somebody missed the memo.
Scouti have been going to Wally World Riverside Resort for the past 15 years always a great time ,clean camp ground well maintained .On the week end they have activities for the children and movies on Saturday most of the time on the week end it can get busy.
ScoutThe campground is well kept. Sites are well spaced. There’s a large clean swim lake, also a fishing lake. Lots of deer and wildlife. Monthly rates are $550 for full 50amp hookup.
GuideMade a reservation. Canceled since wife had to go into hospital due to an emergency. No flexibility in the 7-day prior window. State parks and others have all been decent to us over this. We paid 3 days for a reservation we never used but canceled 2 days out. The park did not fill up so they took our money over a gotcha clause even after I begged the manager for her understanding. Under the circumstances, I was hoping they would compromise and take only the first night, but they are in it mainly for your money, I'm afraid.
Scoutfantastic place to camp with family and friends! There is always something fun and exciting to do, whether you're fishing, swimming, hiking, relaxing around the campfire, or enjoying the many activities throughout the campground. The atmosphere is welcoming, the scenery is beautiful, and it's a great place to make lasting memories.
ScoutCaves is great campground. However they do not honor dyrt reservations. Had to pay at the campground. Sent email to dyrt, no reply. They owe me 400 dollars, and I have not heard back. Dyrt, if you honor, I will update this review- until then, DO NOT USE!!!
RangerWe return to Mohican wilderness a few times each year and love the sites we choose right on the river.
Most sites here are wide open field sites and would not suite our style of camping.
Bathrooms are typically clean.
Camping sites near Shreve, Ohio include over 300 campsites within the town boundaries and numerous others within a 20-mile radius. The area sits at approximately 1,100 feet elevation with rolling hills characteristic of Ohio's Allegheny Plateau region. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F, with higher humidity from June through August creating conditions favorable for the abundant deciduous forests that provide natural shade at many campgrounds.
Hiking trails access: Mohican State Park Campground offers varied terrain for hikers of all skill levels. "Lots of hiking trails and waterfalls. Free hike-in camping available here too," notes Nicole K., who visited the park. The covered bridge, overlook and waterfall trails are particularly popular during fall when foliage changes color.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide access to stocked fishing areas. At Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park, "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 Emily, who camped there with her family.
Water recreation: The Mohican River offers options from gentle floats to longer paddling trips. Mohican Wilderness provides direct river access. As Andrea F. explains: "We have camped here 3 times now and even though it's a large park the sites are huge so you still feel like you can kick back and relax." Many campers combine water activities with camping at riverside sites.
Off-season solitude: Several campgrounds near Shreve remain open during shoulder seasons when crowds thin. "We camped here off season and had the place to ourselves. We had a pull through site which was gravel. The staff is friendly and the indoor pool and shower houses were amazing," reports Renee L. about Mohican Adventures Campground.
Primitive camping options: For those seeking a more natural experience, several campgrounds offer basic sites. "There are 10 free camp sites for backpackers in Mohican, each is about a mile hike in, no vehicles can reach these sites. There are 4 on the mountain bike trail and 6 on the horse trails, first come first serve, no reservations," explains John H. about Mohican State Park.
Clean facilities: Many campers highlight facility quality as a differentiator. At Berlin RV Park & Campground, "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS" according to Tara T., who visited during a busy Labor Day weekend. The campground also maintains volleyball, basketball, tetherball, and corn hole areas.
Seasonal operation: Most camping near Shreve operates between April and October. Kenny C. noted about Berlin RV Park: "Spent the weekend here while visiting Amish country in Ohio. For the most part it is just a place to park your camper in a big open area while visiting the area."
Site variations: Campsites range from heavily wooded to open field locations. "Our site was a little muddy and a little smaller than other sites but overall we were very happy with the campground and would camp there again!" reports CampgroundKaren about Mohican Wilderness.
Cell service limitations: Reception varies significantly by location and carrier. One camper at Mohican State Park noted: "No cell service with Verizon at this park," which can affect navigation and communication plans.
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have access issues with GPS directions. Gregory L. warns about Wally World: "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."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming facilities as alternatives to river recreation. "Super super big place as far as campsites go and quantity. We went for a Bluegrass Festival and spent most of the time in the campground because it rained a lot," notes Katie Jo B. about Mohican State Park, making it suitable for rainy day activities.
Structured activities: Look for campgrounds with organized programming. Lane C. explains about Toodik Family Campground: "We stayed at camp Toodik over 4th of July weekend. The river was up, so we didn't get to go canoeing. It rained on us, and our campsite turned to mud, but we still had a wonderful time."
All-weather options: Some facilities offer indoor recreation. "Amazing campgrounds, with great amenities, clean and updated restrooms & shower house. Indoor pool perfect for the super hot summer months," according to Nicole S. who stayed at Mohican Adventures Campground.
Hookup availability: Not all sites offer full hookups. Joe F. who stayed at Lake Wapusun notes: "Our site was a normal gfi outlet and couldn't run a/c and air fryer. No biggie we did wings over a fire. I'd have a filter for water also."
Site selection factors: Consider seasonal positioning for comfort. "At 1st didn't care for it but after I noticed where sun was setting it became best in whole campground," adds Joe F. about site location at Lake Wapusun.
Weight restrictions: Larger rigs face specific access constraints. Gregory L. warns about Wally World: "Do note the bridge you need to cross has a weight limit of 10 tons, so larger rigs will need to come up Wally Road from the south."
