We came here during the 2024 River of Fire Event. The campground was packed but you couldn’t tell because the sites were all so spacious! Half the sites are right on the river which gives a good view and great place to fish and kayak(too cold on this trip). The event was very well organized and very fun to participate in. Staff was all very friendly and helpful! After the event many campers cleared out(end of season and kids in school) so my husband and I basically had the whole campground to ourselves for 2 of the days. It was extremely peaceful there and we look forward to returning.
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.
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.
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.
Cute place! Stayed right by the water
I stay here typically at least two weekends every summer and I always have a great time! Make sure to bring some money for ice cream because it’s awesome!
We tent camped at one of the primitive riverfront sites. Site 810 in the Narrows. 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!
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.
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.
Friendly and helpful staff. Campground was clean and nicely kept. Wifi was excellent. Bathrooms were clean. Beautiful foliage and hiking trails.
We thought we’d give this campground a try during the off season as it usually fills up during regular camping season.
Campground - it’s a big campground but only part of it is open in the winter. The drive in was plowed and they continue to get plow it through the weekend. Unfortunately there was more ice than snow in the road. The creek was flowing pretty good and was really pretty to watch and we saw a bald eagle flying back and forth.
Campsite-the pad was covered with snow and ice so we had to level a little more as the elements were a little tough to work with. The fire ring was up on a small hill which was a struggle to get up and down due to the ice but would be nice in the summer. You’d be able to see around and across the street to see the creek. Campsites are a little close together but some along the creek look a little more comfortable.
Camp store-big and a ton of items to choose from. They had fresh eggs, local meat, ice cream and more. The staff was friendly and helpful too!
Shower house-only one shower house was open and it was down by the maintenance building. Thankfully the camp store had a small bathroom available and was much closer. The shower house itself was clean, warm and had lots of room for multiple campers.
Really pretty with the snow and would like to go back when it’s warmer.
We had a great time at Pleasant Hill. We stayed there because we were planning a visit to the Prairie Peddler. It was almost completely empty so it was a nice weekend but the sites if everything was full is very cramped. Additionally not a ton to do besides a small park but you can see in the summer time how there would be so much to do!
The cabins at Mohican State Park are highly sought after for a reason--beautiful interiors, comfortable beds, and riverfront location. When there's been enough rain, then tubing down the river is excellent. The campground pool is unheated, but it does have a lifeguard on duty. Good campstore and a clean, well-maintained campground. The newer playground (complete with zipline) is very popular with the kids. Go hiking in the nearby Mohican-Memorial State Forest; visit the fire tower and the dam while you're there. if you go into Loudonville, then stop by Stela's for ice cream in a homemade, chocolate dipped waffle cone and visit the eclectic Cleo Redd Fisher Museum.
Everyone who helped me with my arrival was very nice and made it easy for me. Also, the bathrooms are very nice!
Great campground. Lots of activities for all ages to do. Canoeing, kayaking, tubing on the river. Swimming in the pond. Game room and miniature golf. Trails to hike. Lots of summer activities scheduled for the year.
This is our 4th trip to this park and it’s one of our favorites. Lots of hiking with large pine trees , cliffs and the river.
New this trip is the addition of WiFi and a new suspension bridge.
We also visited the fire tower this trip and drove over to a local market and the Ugly Bunny Winery.
Our campsite was off 2 inches side to side but level front to back. The sites are all 50 amp and they do have several full hook up sites but this time of your they have the water shut off at the sites. They do have potable water available at the dump station and the water is of for the black tank flush at the dump.
The camp store is still open but with limited supplies and the rangers do still patrol that park in the off season.
This campground is all non electric. We did run our generator during that day but kept it off at night so we didn’t disturb other campers. Only 15 sites and most are very sloped but we had site 3 and it was okay.
Lots of hiking trails and a few sites boasting the filming locations for scenes from the movie Shawshank Redemption.
We also did a house tour and learned about who Louis Bromfield was and why he was so important to the area.
The campground has plenty of great sites to choose from, in two different sections. Whether you want to rent a cabin, have a trailer/RV or basic tent camping, you will be all set. There shower facilities, bathrooms, pool and camp store are awesome. Such a great place to stay! Really look forward to going back!
This is one of my favorite places. Clean, well maintained, many big lots, excellent facilities and lots to do in the kayak capital of Ohio. We’ve stayed twice in our rookie year and both experiences were tops. We did more hiking this time and enjoyed the variety. Be sure to check out the new swinging bridge.
I recently stayed 2 nights on site 304 which was electric only by choice and when we return we will opt for full hook up since those sites look brand new.
Positives:
Less desirable items:
this campground. They stay to themselves and do not get too social. The transient sites were much less occupied so socializing isn't much of an option.
Mostly gravel site..heavy construction where patio sites are. They’re not open. Very nosy machinery during the day we are here. Stepped up hill gravel sites. Very difficult to ride bikes on loosegravel. My grandson fell twice.playground is moderate at best. Speed limit is an issue. They seem to have little control of vehicles speed limit here. Nice pool but it’s at the far end. Was only able to find 2 bath houses. We used the one near the office. It was only one stall
 Thanks
I’ve been here twice and I will be back!
This is a great state park campground. We stayed at an electric site. The spots are decent sized, plenty of restrooms, pool, playground and camp store that sells ice cream! Tubing down the creek next to the campground was super cool too. Cabins looked very nice and secluded. We hiked to the swinging bridge which was newly dedicated (May 2021).
These walk-in tent only sites were level with a decent amount of space. The river (that you can float down) runs right next to the sites. There was a high turnover every night. This was a fun place to camp, with an awesome playground. The showers were hot and clean.
Very easy to find... the campsite was very beautiful, right on the river. We had planned to stay until Saturday, but had to leave just after 2 days.. no fault of the campground. First time I had been camping in almost 30 years....also we didn't have any cell service but I was not expecting it. It was great to be screen free for a couple days.
We stayed in the #2 class B primative campground right next to the river. Porta potties, no water or electricity. It is just beside the river and a nice easier hike is nearby walking distance. It is a popular hiking area, for good reason. Sites are pretty close to one another but people were nice. We would go again. 2 kids aged 8 and 6 liked it, although water is not for wading/swimming. It's a few miles from the larger state campground where the RVs stay, but went there to get firewood and a car tag. Nice lady there told me we could use their showers, but we didn't as we just stayed a night. We would go back, the forest is beautiful and trails well maintained.
We love this park! Lots of hiking! Even saw a bald eagle this trip.
Another Thanksgiving spent in our camper and it was so nice and relaxing. There were more campers than a expected this weekend. I guess everyone likes to social distance in there campers too.
Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off.
No cell service with Verizon at this park.
