Best RV Parks & Resorts near Woodsfield, OH

Several RV parks surround Woodsfield in eastern Ohio's rolling hills. Shadow Lake RV Resort offers year-round camping with full hookups for RVs, including water, electric, and sewer connections. Sites accommodate larger vehicles with room for slideouts, though spacing between neighboring RVs can be limited. Zion Retreat & RV Park provides similar amenities with big-rig friendly sites situated among tall trees. Harris RV Park features more basic riverside sites with water and electric hookups at affordable rates. "Large open campground minutes from downtown Marrietta OH owner and Staff are very friendly and easy going! Clean, nice newer bath house with laundry."

Navigation into some parks requires careful driving through hilly terrain. Zion Retreat campers should note the steep entrance hill that demands a capable tow vehicle. Most RV sites in the region feature gravel pads rather than concrete, with varying degrees of levelness. Seasonal considerations affect availability, with summer and fall bringing higher occupancy rates. Dump stations are available at most parks, though not all offer on-site propane fill services. Pet policies generally allow dogs throughout the parks, though specific restrictions may apply. According to one visitor, "If you love peace and quiet this is the place for you. All sites are amongst the very tall trees," while noting that sites can be "a bit close, think KOA close."

    Salt Fork State Park Campground

    Great fall camping

    Dated, but pretty clean bath\shower building with clothes washer and dryer ($2). Sites in C-loop are far enough apart to not feel too crammed together. Power pedestal has 20, 30 and 50 amp service. 30 amp worked fine. Lots of trails, allowing dogs on leash. True, other amenities are a drive of at least a couple miles to get to. ATT service was fine for streaming using ROKU and my phone as a hotspot. Paved, level pads, but not long enough for largest trailers. Check size if you have one. Sites at South end of loop get the most shade

    Wolfie's Campground

    Clean and very well maintained

    A clean park with about 45 sites total. Some are long term while others for shorter stays. They also have cabins and tent sites.

    Nice pool, 1/2 court basketball court, playground, laundry and store.

    They only challenge is you don’t want to meet a rig going out while you’re coming in. We are a 38 foot class A and met a 36’ 5th wheel on the curve at the entrance. We literally passed with less than an inch between us and I am pretty sure the 5th wheel went partially of the road.

    But nice campground; quiet and clean.

    River Run Campground — North Bend State Park

    Hikers' Heaven

    North Bend State Park is located at the halfway point of the 72-mile North Bend Rail Trail, so it’s a great camping spot for hikers, bikers and horseback riders who want to explore this scenic trail which crosses 35-bridges and cuts through 11-tunnels where the B&O Railroad used to travel. 

    I highly recommend this trail to hikers because the scenery is spectacular, the wildlife plentiful, and the tunnels are really cool. The trail passes through some quaint towns such as the former oil boom-town of Cairo where many of the buildings from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s are still standing. 

    North Bend State Park has a year-round lodge, year-round cabins and two campgrounds open from mid-April to mid-November. 

    The Cokeley Campground has 28-sites with both water and electricity, picnic tables and fire pits. The bathhouse includes a small coin-op laundry. It’s close to the boat dock at North Bend Lake. I didn’t select this campground because it doesn’t have much shade.

    I stayed at the River Run Campground which has 49-sites along the shores of the North Fork of the Hughes River with electric and non-electric sites to choose from. Four sites are ADA accessible. Each site has paved parking, a picnic table and fire pit. The bathhouse was clean and nicely tiled with hand soap and paper towels provided. The on-site staff was extremely friendly and you get a generous wheelbarrow full of firewood, cut from local downed trees, for$5. 

    The lodge looked a little dated, but had a good home-style restaurant which was popular with travelers. The year-round cabins have been updated with ADA wheelchair ramps and wraparound decks. I may return and rent one after the campground closes so I can do some cross- country skiing on the North Bend Rail Trail this winter.

    I paddled on the North Bend Lake which was extremely peaceful and beautiful, with the colors of fall surrounding me on all sides. I brought my own kayak, but they had boats for rent. There were several fishermen on the water and on the lakeside dock. They told me they catch bass and catfish at this 300-acre lake. The trail around the lake would be good for birders because I spotted ducks, hawks and wood-peckers.

    North Bend State Park would be good for kids because they have playgrounds, mini-golf and an outdoor swimming pool(closed when I visited in October, but looked really nice).

    Cokeley Campground — North Bend State Park

    A note to RVers...

    There are two campgrounds in North Bend State Park…one is Cokely and the other is River Run. Neither are easy to get to when you have a big rig! We picked Cokely Campground as it has 50 amp power and water hook-ups It’s a good thing too as we now know that getting to River Run would have been very, very tricky! Reservations are not accepted at Cokely but you can call the morning of your intended arrival to see if there is availability.

    Mountwood Park Family Campground(Wood County Park)

    Know Before You Go

    As with any trip, do your research, read your reviews, peruse Google Satellite maps and talk to locals when you can.

    Mountwood County Park http://www.mountwoodpark.org/about.html is located about 15 minutes east of Parkersburg on Rt 50. Heading east on Rt 50 from Parkersburg, WV you will arrive at Mountwood County Park on the right...but the campground portion is a mile further east on the left side of the road. Both are marked by road signage...but most would assume they are all in one location.

    If you bring your quads, dirt bikes or mountain bikes with you when you camp, then Mountwood County Park is for you. Right off the back of Mountwood are plenty of ATV trails to keep you busy during your stay. If bombing mountain bike trails is your thing, then across the highway from the campground is your dream. If relaxing in a serene mountain or river valley campground atmosphere is what you desire...keep driving east on Rt 50 another 20 minutes to North Bend State Park.

    The primitive tent sites ($20 nightly) are less than desirable and more of an afterthought...and I'm being gracious. There is patchy tall grass, dirt and rocks with no leveled areas. And you have to wander a distance to the restroom/showerhouse when needed. You can rent the tiny cabins ($40 nightly) up on the top of the hill if you desire. They were rented and filled during my visit, surrounded with trailers filled with quads (not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting). One of the main ATV offroad trail entrances is a hundred yards or so past the primitive tent sites so anticipate traffic and some noise. There were a few electric/water sites available for RV/Campers but the majority of them were filled.

    It does appear that that there are several "long term campers" at numerous sites, as wooden steps and decks are built and attached to the campers. I would not describe the campground as neat and tidy, but fills a need.

    The other portion of the county park lies across Rt 50 about 1/2 mile east. This is where you will find a nice 50 acre lake...shaped like a "T" on its side... for short paddles or fishing (no swimming permitted), a solid collection of varied ability MTB trails and a cool, little local WV Oil history museum. Being a bit of a history buff, I was fascinated by the museum...how the local town was created during the oil boon and then destroyed by fire...of an enormous wilderness mansion that sat where the campground now sits. Interesting stuff.

    There is a nice dog park if you brought your pooch. Several picnic areas with picnic shelters, playgrounds, and decent shared hiking trails.

    As stated, if your main purpose is to MTB or ATV, then you might be contented with Mountwood County Park Campground. As county parks go, Mountwood County Park, itself, is nice and has a lot to offer. If quiet camping is your objective, I would recommend NorthBend State Park just down the road a piece.

    Salt Fork State Park Campground

    My Go-to Weekend Getaway

    Saltfork is located about 45 minutes from my house, and makes for the perfect overnight trip. 

    There are tons of things to do, and lots of space in which to do them. My favorites includes hiking trails, and the lakeside dog park. 

    I stay in the primitive camping, it allows for more privacy and quiet. Although it also means you are relegated to the pit toilets. I personally don't mind them, but I know some campers will make the drive to the nicer shower house in the RV heavy side of the park. 

    Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, the fire rings in the primitive section need some work, as the grates are very old and small.

    Seneca Lake Park Campground

    Awesome Campground

    Great campground! Level sites with full hookups. 50amp. Plenty of space between spots. Shower house is beautiful and CLEAN. Includes a very nice laundry room. Views of the lake and ability to launch and dock your boat within walking distance of sites. Beach with concessions within walking distance of sites as well. Top rated campground.

    Shadow Lake RV Resort

    Beautiful, peaceful setting

    We came to Shadow Lake in October to camp for the month. To get here, you must drive through the rolling hills of Southern Ohio, which is absolutely gorgeous in October! The campground is beautiful and peaceful, especially at this time of year as most of the campers have either gone south, closed up or pulled out for the season. There are several ponds located on the property and trails meander along and around the 100 acre property. We see deer almost every evening. There are a couple hiking trails nearby (Piatt Park and Raven’s Rock) which have incredible rock formations in the gorges. The owners, Lynn and his wife, recently purchased the resort and are very friendly and helpful. They are enhancing the amenities. Shadow lake is an excellent place to camp whether in a tent or a big rig!

    Seneca Lake Park Campground

    A Great Place for the Weekend or Summer

    We stayed at Seneca Lake in our tent, while seeing other attractions in the area. The campground is full of trailers for the weekend and others that are staying all summer. If you have a boat or jet ski, it’s a fun place to play. The beach was very clean and our kids enjoyed it. Showers and bathrooms were very clean and documented inspections each day. Saturday evening the campground provided a movie for kids. It was a very family friendly campground we are likely to return to.


Guide to Woodsfield

Eastern Ohio's Woodsfield region sits amid rolling hills with elevations ranging from 900-1,200 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically range between 70-85°F with high humidity, while fall brings cooler 50-65°F days and vibrant foliage. RV parks near Woodsfield offer varying levels of privacy, with most situated on partially wooded properties featuring both open meadows and forested sections.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Shadow Lake RV Resort provides multiple ponds throughout its 100-acre property where campers can fish. According to a visitor, "There are several ponds located on the property and trails meander along and around the 100 acre property. We see deer almost every evening."

River activities: Riversedge Campground offers kayak and canoe rentals with convenient drop-off service. "If you decide to rent a kayak they will even drop you off upstream to start your trip," notes one camper. The campground sits directly on the river, providing easy water access.

Hiking trails: The region offers several notable hiking options near camping areas. "There are a couple hiking trails nearby (Piatt Park and Raven's Rock) which have incredible rock formations in the gorges," reports one Shadow Lake visitor who spent a month camping in October.

What campers like

Riverfront sites: Several campgrounds feature direct waterfront access. At Riversedge Campground, "Our tent was right on the river... We enjoyed them by our fire as we watched the mist gently float over the water. They also rent kayaks and canoes so if you have time take a trip down the river."

Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds in the area offer opportunities to spot local wildlife. One camper at Zion Retreat & RV Park noted, "Be sure to keep an eye our for deer as you come into the park! We had to stop a few times for them to move out of the driveway."

Proximity to Marietta: Campers appreciate access to town amenities while maintaining a countryside feel. An Ashland RV Park visitor commented, "Very close to the nice little downtown Marietta, Ohio but still very rural location. Large sites. Great staff. Absolutely love this place. Slow pace and quiet."

What you should know

Terrain challenges: The hilly topography affects campground access and layout. At Zion Retreat, "Make sure you have a good tow vehicle as there is a steep hill at the entrance/exit of the camp ground," warns a recent visitor.

Seasonal occupancy patterns: Many RV parks near Woodsfield have a mix of overnight travelers and seasonal residents. "The other 7 campers here this weekend all appear to be longer term/seasonal. This wasn't a problem for us as they were working during the day and quiet at night," notes one Zion Retreat visitor.

Budget options: Some RV parks in the area offer full hookups at lower rates than typical. A camper at Harris RV Park shared, "Right on the Ohio River. Tight spots, but pretty level... Did I mention we're right on the Ohio River with full hookup for $25 a night?! Full hookup alone is worth more than 25 bucks. Cash or Check only."

Tips for camping with families

Riverside tent sites: Families with children often prefer waterfront camping. At Riversedge Campground, "We chose rivers edge for our annual father son getaway and we were not disappointed. The tent sites are right next to the water and there is a beach and dock nearby also."

Clean facilities: When camping with children, access to well-maintained restrooms becomes important. "The shower house was clean and freshly painted," notes a father who visited Riversedge Campground with his son.

Amenities access: Some campgrounds allow tent campers to use RV area facilities. "While an RV park, you can also tent camp with the amenities, making it really nice. Electrical hookups and water at your site, plus clean bathrooms and a shower house on the property," explains an Ashland RV Park visitor.

Tips from RVers

Winter camping considerations: Unlike many Ohio campgrounds that close seasonally, some RV parks near Woodsfield remain open year-round. A winter visitor to Shadow Lake RV Resort noted, "I stayed here in the worse month possible for camping in ohio but the owner made it a great experience. They are very accommodating. Even though every thing was snowy and muddy I could tell this is a very well taken care of place."

Site spacing awareness: Some campers find the proximity of sites at certain parks to be closer than ideal. A Zion Retreat visitor mentioned, "The sites are a bit close, think KOA close. This might be a turnoff if the campground was full. The weekend we stayed there were 8 total campers, lots of empty sites between campers."

Interstate access: For those traveling through, some campgrounds offer convenient highway proximity. At Harris RV Park, a traveler mentioned it's a "Small privately owned campground about 15 min off I-77. We stopped for an overnight on our way north."
