Me and my partner went during Labor Day and left the fourth. We were there for three days and two nights. It was amazing. Our spot was a small walk to the water so we could fish and still keep up with the fire. We were right against the woods. There was a perfect flat spot for the tent. The trees were great cover from the bright sun. We were also able to walk to the restroom and could see the whole building from our site. We were site 009. So the bathroom was across the road. Everyone was very friendly there as well! The only downside was the grill for the fire pit. It’s at an angle so cooking on it was difficult as it was hard not to spill food
This is a great place to take the kids. We go here every year. They have an in-ground pool, a small store for camping needs, firewood delivery and propane refills. Cell service here is awful and there is no WiFi. The antenna will pick up several local channels. There is a Dollar General about 10 mins away for grocery needs. They have several pull-through and full hookup options as well. Sites are somewhat level. This park has beautiful landscaping that is always meticulously maintained. They also host events and if you check their event calendar on their website, you can see what’s going on during your stay. We were fortunate enough to see the band Timestamp and loved it! They even had a community bonfire!
We've been to Cowan a few times, first time in this loop and was not disappointed. Bathroom was clean and well stocked through the weekend. Additional vehicles have to pay $3.
So originally I was not super thrilled when we arrived but that changed quickly. We booked last minute on a holiday weekend and had like 2 options for a spot. I wasn’t happy with our spot but again that’s my own fault. I would definitely book ahead and look at the map to find a good spot. Some are very close to neighbors. Others are really nice. I was upset The pool was not open since there was no post about it being closed and the website says it would be open the weekend of Memorial Day. So I went into everything with a pretty crappy attitude. THEN, we went to the lake and at the desk was the new managers. They have only had it for 2 weeks now. They were super super sweet. She told us that they really did everything in their power to have the pool open and it just did not work out. They worked really hard to get it fixed and it needs to cure for like a week. I believe she said. So completely NOT their fault. Again they have only been there 2 weeks. We met some seasonal people and they were super nice as well. Our kids made friends quickly. The little lake was so much fun. My children were upset we had to leave early due to the storm coming in. We did not want to travel back in the storm. However I could have paid 100 dollars more and got into the jellystone park. I don’t think I recommend our spot though. It was on a corner which was nice but so small, no shade, fire pit was so little, no picnic table or anything. But if the pool was up, it would have been better.
We stayed two nights in #184. Our site was HUGE! The pad was very level, so setting up the TT was quick and easy.
We checked one restroom and one wash house: both were in good condition and quite clean. Lysol was in the air.
The lake was pretty. Watching the herons was relaxing.
The people in our section were courteous. All seemed to obey the quiet hours.
The only negative was the lack of a central fresh water fill station. Spigots are dispersed throughout the camp, which means sitting in the road for as long as it takes to fill your tank. Fortunately, we had a spigot by our site, so we could fill once we parked.
We'll definitely be back.
We just purchased our camper and this was the first place we went. We are familiar with this park due to the little “beach“ area they have. We stayed in the off-season, so there was not a whole lot of people. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. loved our site too.
I adore this place so much. It's just the overall atmosphere there that makes you feel like you belong.
Disregard the review from Kim B on May 31st, 2023. She was kicked out because her 5th wheel sewer on it was compacted and couldn't be used. she has posted twice for help to unclog it because of using 5 gallon buckets with toilet lid. Not only one but was using 4 buckets at a time before dumping keeping in her camper before caught dumping behind camper and trying to fit it down a small hole where the honey pots go that you are suppose to use. All she said, as a review was actually about the crook she is to survive and take money not holding a job herself. She did the review because she paid monthly on the 1st and it was the 31st she was told she had to be out by that Saturday, the 3rd of June. I would post photos of what I stated above but they have to be your own photos and they are her pleas for help telling what she was doing. This is a great campground to stay at and because of people like her is what gives places a bad name. Which advising her to leave was the way to keep the campground clean and safe for all to enjoy. Don't let one rotten apple make your decision on a great place to stay. Many wonderful people will reach out to help you rather hooking up, helping to start your fire, even asking if you want to join them for breakfast/lunch or dinner. Or join them around their fire for great conversations.
Large park with a marina, archery range, disc golf and more. Trails to lake covered with shade.
It's easy to get there. The non-electric sites don't have a lot of space or privacy (ie; trees) between them, definitely no hammocking. There's also a private camper's beach that is absolutely serene, probably not safe to swim in. Due to it being a holiday weekend, it was busy & loud like you'd expect, but it was so rowdy we left early. When we showed up, someone dumped all their trash in our firepit, absolutely disgusting behavior. Two different camp groups, one in electric and one in non-electric, got into loud verbal fights that resulted in the police being called. Fireworks and loud music were played all night long. No quiet hours, or if there are any they're not enforced. It's still great for a night visit if you're in the area, but it's not a dream weekend getaway by any means.
Every facility you need. Really engaged staff. Camp Coordinator Linda has a great group of people on board. Very friendly.
We went camping in June during the strawberry Moon. We are tent campers, we booked site 185. But once we got there we discovered that the site was slopped down from the pad and not a great place to tent camp. So, we had to find another site. They were booked so we had to cut our vacation short because the only site open for us was reserved for the following weekend. Bummer! There are not alot of spaces for us tent campers no matter where we go. We have to at the least have electric hook ups cause my better half has a CPap he has to sleep wearing. They did have a few premative sites for tent campers. Camp is very well maintained and they are having some construction done on many sites to make them bigger, full hook ups and even Handicap accessable. Great place to ride a bike, or hike or just go for a walk. The shower houses and restrooms were recently redone and in great shape! Though the shower heads could use a changing. Weekends were a bit crowded, but by sunday night the place was cleared out and the rest of the week was quiet and relaxed. Over all a great week. Friendly and helpful staff too. the only issue I had was the state of the Beach, trashed(People there didn't seem to care about throwing their trash around. Shame on them! Also,the sand was so compacted it felt like concrete. Not the best beach. Fishing, well. It seems we didn't have the low down on good fishing spots. All of the public fishing spots were of course taken and along the dam so not great. Lodge is beautiful, and they are doing some construction there. I did not like the food. Guess I am too picky, but when my salad comes out warm and my chicken is cold I do have an issue with that. Didn't seem like they were taking food safety too seriously.
Horrible place. The owner and park Mgr both are rude. Most of the people there are toothless and they think they are kings of the rv park. They tell lies if to owner if you don't want to associate with them. Cash only and change rates 3x in 3 months. Stayed April and may 2023 and should have learned month 1. People steal stuff and they are drunks. A few amazing people are there. But most are west side Columbus trash on their weekend staycations which means get drunk and high and yell all hours. Neighbor watch your moves and report to owners. No matter what you're doing. Too bad. Needs updated greatly and a lot of trashy run down rigs moved. They do nothing to the lots. And have a half ass dump station(hole).
Great hiking trails and people are friendly
Clean and empty at this time of the year. Tried to do the right thing and reserve for the night however the booking site through the state wouldn’t work. Slept for the night after a long day of driving
We decided to camp on Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was very mild and the camper was very quiet.
Our site had a pretty level pad and could fit our small camper easily with room for our vehicle. The site itself is big - it’s got a lot of room for tents, an ez-up and plenty of space for chairs. It sits deep and there’s a little trail in the back.
Two shower houses were still open, clean and not far from our site. All of the comfort stations were closed for the off season.
We saw deer, heard coyotes and even saw a flying squirrel one night - really cool.
We ordered pizza from a local shop and they delivered. The lodge is close enough to go get food too.
The location is great. The staff was friendly. The bathrooms were fairly clean but the lights are on a timer so they go out on you when you're in the stall. The worst part is the lots are so sloped that it took all my wood, stackers, levelers and a bit of luck to get my camper level. In all my years camping I've never been on such an incline. The water was rusty well water, but tasted ok after my filter setup. The power showed an open neutral in the 30 amp hook up so I ran my cable to a close by empty lot and it tested ok. The camper next to us had their truck doors open and radio cranked up all day amd into the night. We asked if they could turn it down a little and they just laughed. I normally don't say anything to anyone camping but it was just so rude. I was walking up to the front desk to complain but they finally turned it down some when they saw me walking to the front. The wifi was spotty at best and we had zero Verizon cell service. Overall I would stay again, but I will try to find a more level spot if they have any.
Although it’s quite a bit off the main road, it was a nice place to stay. Gate was manned when we arrived just before 8:00 pm. Clerk told us to book online once we picked our spot, as she had just closed the register. We just chose an open spot that was level as we could see in the dark. Weary from a day of travel, we put our heads on the pillow and were fast asleep. Shortly after 9 we heard several rounds of gun shots; that was alarming because it was well after sunset. All in all it was a nice spot with electric only. Several gray water dumps were situated throughout the campground. Dumpsters were full from I’m sure what was a busy weekend of fall camping. The lake was beautiful with ability to rent kayaks. Frisbee golf was onsite too. Commissary for ice and basic sundries, with playground nearby. We didn’t visit the bathhouse, so I’m unsure of it’s condition. Tenant sites with no electricity were down by the lake. Cabin rentals were in a separate spot, off the lake. All in all, in was a nice place with lots of things to do. More of a destination park, for sure.
This Campground was pretty great! My wife and I stayed in a rather large tent site and my parents stayed in an RV site. The RV site was rather small without much personal space. But it worked for what they needed. The tent site was decently secluded and near a nice small pond.
The campground put on a free BBQ for all of the guests one of the nights! It was very good and well thought out. They also put on a very long firework show that night which was awesome! We must have came the perfect weekend.
The restrooms were rather large and and worked fine. As well as the showers. There are also a few nice looking cabins! There is a camp store in the office, but it's rather small without anything interesting. There is a large barn with a few arcade games that the kids seemed to like.
The best part about this Campground?? DOGS ARE ALLOWED!! We were so grateful of this because we love taking our dog camping with us!
Along the Ohio river Morgan’s is the perfect spot to camp if you enjoy nature. The wooded sites are very large even the small ones with mature trees. So close to everything Cincinnati has to offer but beautiful scenic river views.
It’s on the smaller size. Some sites are really short. Be sure to check the pad length. A lot of spies don’t have much room beyond the pad.
I was able to fit my trailer and truck on the asphalt pad and then there is plenty of grassy area to spread out. The showers are low power and I only had about 6 minutes of hot water but that may have been a fluke. Overall the campground is well maintained and peaceful on a Monday during the school year. I took a short walk to the lake. It looks like it would be a good place to kayak. They do have kayaks for rent at the camp store but they look tiny like they would only hold children. The camp store is closed on Mondays. Great ATT reception. Avoid sites 42-44 unless you want to be up close and personal with the dump station.
This was a nice campground extremely central to all frequented trails in the area . We stayed on the electric/ water side of campground . Any staff we encountered was friendly and helpful along w each and every camper thanks fully . Nice atmosphere and pool was a blessing w 90+ degree days . There’s a pretty good size game room also that kids loved . Bathrooms on side of campgrounds we stayed near were under construction. Full hook ups on other side were nice and now we know to try and book over there. One of caves you can walk right from camp.
decent size sites, some right on the lake. facilities are well maintained. mostly boaters, not much activity other than that.
Easy access to sites. Staff could take a lesson in hospitality and giving directions on park.
Bath houses were best we've seen so far, lots of shower stalls and clean. Campground was extremely busy on the weekends and some sites were on the smaller side, but overall a good place and would visit again.
This place is off the beaten path, meaning that you probably will lose cell service getting to it, so make sure you have general directions. We have Verizon and had no cell service while there (which was pretty nice actually). We stayed in a primitive (no electric no water) tent site just down the hill from the campground set a little bit off into the woods. It was certainly private, with only one set of tent campers about 100 yards away. Bring your bug spray for sure! (We stayed in June.) Game barn for kids, there's also a pool that we didn't make it to. There are RVs off in the distance as well as cabins. Cabins didn't look well kept. Beware: there are TONS of raccoons, as in dozens and dozens that like to roam around at night. They were fine, just curious and woke us up with their communication a few times at night. They will come right up to the tent and sniff and touch the tent, so don't be concerned. They're just very active at night. My guess is people have fed them and/or garbage is not always secured. Showers and bathrooms were subpar. I still used both but some showers weren't in working order. We would like to come back to this area and explore Hocking Hills more, but would probably try out a different campground.
