    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    FHUs Sites in a field

    PROS 

    Able to reserve 144 days prior to arriving 

    Very nice campground but the design leaves a lot to be desired 

    Friendly camp hosts who were busy picking up trash in common areas and cleaning sites Moveable picnic table 

    Metal fire ring with cooking grate 

    Site D45 level asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass 

    Great view of lake from D loop; some had water access at rear of site 

    Quiet except for campground party animals who kept it going into the wee hours of the morning 

    Coin-operated laundromats in non FHU loops $1.50 wash and $1 dry 

    Free WIFI available and able to connect at campsite 

    Dump Stations at Park exit have complimentary hoses 

    Camp store sells hard dipped ice cream 

    14 miles from the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center 

    CONS 

    No senior discount

    $6.50 reservation fee for self made on-line reservation 

    Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

    Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

    FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

    Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

    Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

    Site number on electric utility box 

    FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

    No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground

    Kiser Lake State Park Campground

    Quiet Park

    This park is know for the lake that is kayak and canoe friendly since it doesn’t allow any kind of boat with a motor. It also features a beach , 2 playgrounds and several hiking trails. Just be careful if you hike with dogs since some trails intersect with a nature preserve which doesn’t allow pets.

    The campground itself has 20 electric sites , 56 primitive sites and 4 camper cabins. All the electric sites are pull through and all sites have a fire pit but only the electric sites come with picnic tables.

    Due to off season and COVID the camp store is closed and there is no camper host or park office staff around.

    We did notice lots of downed trees on the poorly marked hiking trails. Some trails just started but no maps were around and no trails were blazed. It was hard to tell where we were headed or how long a trail was. I tried using the new Detour app and it wasn’t very accurate for this park.

    We did have good Verizon cell coverage.

    Venture Out Resorts Arrowhead Lakes Resort

    Big rigs to tents

    We stayed here for free for 10 days as a part of a promotion that came with the purchase of our rig. Not sure about normal pricing though, as this campground is owned by Venture Out Resorts and they are a timeshare company (we had to sit for a hour long "pitch" to get our free days). They have 50amp, full hookup, pull through sites (and we saw 40+ ft rigs there) to tent camping to cabin rentals. The campground was clean (shower houses always looked great) and grounds were maintained. Amenities include an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna (close at 10p), but we did not partake because it was so overridden by children, chlorine, and no open windows - didn't seem worth any effort whatsoever in the July heat. The amenities we did checkout (close nightly at 8p) included their new 18 hole mini golf course, small arcade (4 games and pinball was broken 😢), loaner bikes, and water toys (we liked the paddle bikes). The company recently bought the property, so you can see what they inherited vs what it will probably eventually be like based off their sister properties (they recently added the putt putt and a big jungle gym) so it could evolve more as time passes. Regardless, in its current state as active 30 somethings, we were pretty bored. No hiking, significant highway noise, yes a couple big ponds, but a truck stop and truck storage is behind both - so no views. Most of the campers we saw were elderly or had young kids. I'd say if you fall into a category where you want to sit beside your rig all day or want your kids entertained (playgrounds, kids programming - it was luau week so they had a Moana movie night and other kid activities), go on and book a longer stay. If you're only looking for a spot to stay overnight by the highway, do it! It is simple to pull in and have full hookups to take advantage of but a 10 day stay is too long if you're paying. Other things to know: Walmart, Aldi, Lowes, and several automotive chain stores are at max 5 min away, which made grabbing some needed supplies super easy. That said truck stop above was very convenient to get into to fuel up our rig too. Fun fact: Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta and the Armstrong Air & Space Museum is also a max 5 min drive away if you want to get your inner astronaut fix.

    Nice little weekend getaway

    Stayed 2 nights here. Had a back-in, water/electric spot that was roomy as we were on an end. Wood deck, picnic table, and fire ring included. Very well kept grounds, friendly staff, and all-around good atmosphere.

    Van Buren State Park Campground

    Small and peaceful

    We stayed one night on our way to IN. We’ve never been here before and wanted to check it off our list. It’s a small campground with one side as equestrian and the other side not. All sites had electric and water, no full hookup. There were only drop toilets and no showers. They were clean but I don’t think I’d want to do more than a weekend there. It had a nice playground for kids and plenty of trails to hike or go horseback riding. They also had a dog park and small wildflower garden. The check in cabin had ice and wood for sale but no store. Our site was really nice. The pads were recently paved and had a huge bumper at the end. The fire ring was nice and the site had plenty of space for tents.

    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    Lots of sites

    Our pad was not level front to back so we had to adjust a little bit. The fire ring was nice but our picnic table was beat up. I went to move it and the seat pulled right off. We stayed on a Sunday night so it wasn’t packed. There are a ton of sites. Some had great shade and others didn’t have any at all. The bathrooms were flush toilets and they did have shower houses too. The camp store is really big and it’s right next to their pool. They have a dog park, place to dock your boat and a small beach. I would imagine this would be a pretty busy during the summer.

    Lake Loramie State Park Campground

    Perfect retreat for the family or solo adventure

    Relax on the waters edge in shear tranquility. Perfect beach for swimming, excellent trails for hiking, and awesome lake to boat. Multiple launch ramps provide ease and convenience. Rent a canoe or kayak and head out for some time alone or with your favorite person. The cabins are heated but pets are not allowed. Campground is huge as are the sites. Some are premium, there’s a few ADA and some lakeside making for a great view to enjoy your morning coffee.

    Lake Loramie State Park Campground

    Fun for kids during the day and sage at night.

    We have stayed many times. Love being so close to the lake we can fish all the time. The beach is a bit of a walk from the campground but not to far. They offer canoe rentals, and bike rentals. The park also has beautiful cabins on the lake shore.

    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    Hidden gem

    Traveling with a dog is not always easy, but I throughly enjoyed my stay. Will be back again, happy it wasn’t full of people. Wifi strong, Verizon service great, premium electric (I have 30amp and there was a hookup), no water as it’s winter meaning no bathrooms (there is a porterhouse). Clean sites and friendly folks.


Guide to Spencerville

Cabin camping near Spencerville, Ohio ranges across 30 miles of flat, agricultural terrain within the Miami and Erie Canal corridor. Most campgrounds sit between 850-900 feet elevation, offering year-round camping with distinct seasonal conditions. Summer temperatures average in the 80s while winter nights often drop below freezing, requiring different cabin preparation strategies depending on when you visit.

What to do

Lake activities: fishing and boating: At Kiser Lake State Park Campground, the motorless lake creates perfect conditions for peaceful paddling. "This park is know for the lake that is kayak and canoe friendly since it doesn't allow any kind of boat with a motor. It also features a beach, 2 playgrounds and several hiking trails," notes Andrea F. Rentals for canoes and kayaks are available at reasonable prices.

Hiking trail options: Multiple short trail systems exist around cabin areas. "There are several nice walking trails but the mosquitoes were so bad even in the day that we kept away," warns a visitor to Lake Loramie State Park Campground. Bring proper insect protection during summer months when hiking near cabins. Trails range from 0.5 to 3 miles in length.

Winter recreation: Seasonal cabin rentals provide access to cold-weather activities. "I came cross country skiing here in early January and it was absolutely amazing. It is cold but the terrain is simple for first time skiers," shares kevin T. about Van Buren State Park. Many parks maintain winter cabin access with plowed roads.

What campers like

Swimming amenities: Many parks offer swimming options beyond lake access. "The campground is big and spacious...There is a nice pool and splash pad," notes Megan M. at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park. Several cabin locations feature climate-controlled indoor pool facilities for year-round swimming.

Spacious sites: Cabins typically include outdoor space for activities. "Large spacious sites with cement or paved spots. Can be muddy after rain. Has a pool, playground, putt putt golf, boat docks, hiking trails, and some other great amenities," mentions Ashleigh D. about Grand Lake St. Marys. Most cabin areas maintain 20-30 feet between structures.

Local attractions: The region offers activities beyond campgrounds. "Neil Armstrong was born in nearby Wapakoneta so there are some sights to see there, and the towns of Celina and one other are cute too," explains a visitor. The Armstrong Air & Space Museum is approximately 5 minutes from several cabin rental locations.

What you should know

Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and maintenance differ significantly between locations. "The bathrooms were average. Not new, not especially sparkling clean, but fine. Not gross, at least," reports one camper about Grand Lake St. Marys. Some cabin areas have dedicated restroom facilities while others share with general camping areas.

Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts cabin camping conditions throughout the year. "The bugs were really bad every time we were outside. There are several nice walking trails but the mosquitoes were so bad even in the day that we kept away," notes Andrea F. about Lake Loramie. Spring and early summer typically see increased insect activity.

Reservation requirements: Indian Lake State Park Campground maintains strict booking policies. "You must reserve a spot by phone or online only, no walk ins. I made my reservation while standing at the visitor cabin," explains John P. Cabin reservations often require 2-3 months advance booking during peak summer season.
