    Alum Creek State Park Campground

    Road Noise

    First time visiting this state campground and we only stayed one night, did not explore entire park.  Grounds well maintained, clean and decent amenities.  The sites are well placed and a good size.  But no water view on any of the “premium water view” sites in loop L, other than one L17 (the picture with view)  Same for loop K.  Guests and hosts were friendly and welcoming.  Quiet except for the road noise due to nearby busy roads.  The boat launch to lake access is very nice with plenty of parking and space.  Not bad for a stop when traveling through or a weekend.  We stayed with 34’ camper.  Site L15 (picture with red truck)

    Nice spacious campsites

    First time at this park booked last minute so options were limited wasn't sure what leftovers we would get but ended up with 2 great sites. We lucked out and had 2 trees just right for hammock relaxing but it seems like lots of sites have no trees just depends on the section of park not alot of privacy between. Sites but there huge so you don't feel stuffed in next to everyone. Shower houses are limited 1 in each section but plenty of flush bathrooms located all over and kept very clean. Internet works very well verizon and att.

    Great park

    Been here before came back because we liked it so much. Sites are good sized compared to alot of state parks good for tent and rv. Cell service is good, bathrooms are older and could use updating but are decently clean for use.

    Alum Creek - Nicely Designed and Well Maintained

    Alum Creek State Park is a very well designed State park. Its located north of Columbus, Oh just off I-71N. The sites have level pads. The park is very neat and clean. Our particular rv site was an electric only site (L06) but water was just across the street so if was convienent to fill the camper. This was a very pretty campground with boating and water sports as the main activity.

    When approaching the campground make sure you GPS is set for the campground and not the park. the two are separated by a few miles and signage at the park to the campground is not clear, especially, at 11:00PM when it is dark.

    While were there they had a trivia night which was fun and a free pancake breakfast on Sat. morning which was quite delicious.

    For Astronomers this is a Bortle class 4 site with an SQM rating of 21.27. I did not get observe from this site as it was cloudy due to wildfire smoke. Overall we had a great time at the park.

    The electric only sites were priced at $33/night.

    Delaware State Park Campground

    Great park

    Spent the weekend would've spent longer if not for work. Some sites were bigger than others but all had plenty of space and alot of tree shade. They put in a put put course recently, had disk golf. We were in section c it had upgraded single person shower house and I was told there in the process of upgrading all of them to that style. huge beach area and each section has its own playground for the kids. Cell phone service I had verizon which was 1 bar but the wife has att and her phone worked no problems.

    Well maintained, quiet and relaxing campground.

    My wife and I have begun our full-time RV living. We stayed at this state park during the transition from selling our house. We did not have time to enjoy everything this park has to offer. However, the staff was friendly, the campsites were well maintained and it was quiet.

    Buck Creek State Park Campground

    Leaves some to be desired

    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.

    Deer Creek State Park Campground

    Very Nice Place

    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.

    1-70 overnight

    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

    Thanksgiving Weekend

    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.

    Alum Creek State Park Campground

    Very Noisy

    Everyone online is constantly raving about Alum Creek so we finally decided to try it out. Initially we had site A9 but when we arrived we realized the main road (55mph) was extremely close and loud. We ended up looking at all of the open sites and picking C3, which literally might be the best site in the park. Even still, the constant road noise and insane amount of small plane traffic is extremely annoying. The fire station across the street doesn't help either. The park seems to be roughly 80/20 mix of small sites to medium/ large sites. Usually my reviews are a ton of positives, then a few negatives. This one unfortunately is almost all negatives. The oddly places bathrooms have no parking, only the two shower houses on our half of the park did. I say oddly places because they are kind of in the middle of the woods with multiple paths going to them. You would definitely benifit by finding these paths before it's dark or you'll be lost like we were. Also you may not want a site with one of these paths if you don't like people walking through your site. Due to looking for a better site and it being October, it was dark by the time we finished setting up. One of the few nice things about the park is how dark it gets at night. Unfortunately, there are barely any signs around the park and the ones they have ahine green in your headlights and are almost illegible. Kind of like the light yellow site numbers on the grey electric box. The park does have many nice amenities like, miniature golf, a large dog park, many trails and a nature center. Down the road is a very large beach, a dam and parks. The absolute best part was the camp store. Literally the nicest people in the world were working here... I'm pretty sure we wouldn't stay here again, especially in the summer when it's probably crazy busy. Especially when Delaware state park is 10 miles away and literally our favorite park in Ohio. The two are complete opposites.

    Great spot for Columbus events

    Stayed here for a concert next door at Historic Crew Stadium. We practically had the place to ourselves and the sites were pretty decent. Definitely isn't cleaned as much as it could be. Only the female restroom was unlocked and it was pretty ratchet.

    My Favorite OH State Park so far

    This is my favorite Ohio State Park to camp in so far. Good ATT coverage, look carefully at length of pad as some are shorter. Lovely beach nice views. Only problem was some street noise and the Trick or Treating and Halloween events first weekend of October meant there were a lot lot lot of cars and people and 1.5 hours with the streets closed for activities.

    Peacful & Pretty

    We camped as a family if a full service site. The sites are large enough the kids can run around and not feel like they are in someone else’s area. There is a nice park for the kids, mini golf, and the small camp shop was very helpful for some newbies. It was the perfect place for our family to start our camping story.

    Spacious sites

    Dillion is one of our favorite camping destinations. They have very large sites and there is no trouble finding one with trees. Some of them do hold water in the bottom inside loop of section A. But they have one of the nicest state parks we have been to

    Nicely kept State Park

    Deer Creek SP is conveniently located between Cincinnati and Columbus. Bath and shower houses have been updated and were kept clean. Some sites are shaded while some are in full sun. Was a nice quiet place to relax for a weekend.

    Alum Creek State Park Campground

    Nice road trip or weekend stop.

    Pros: This place is nicely wooded for shade and privacy. The sites are spaced really well. It feels like true forest camping. The super helpful and friendly staff made check in easy and pleasant, and lots of info was provided. Full hookup sites are available for 45 bucks, and there seems to be lots to do nearby.

    Cons: lake had a sign that said the bacteria levels were higher than state standards. A sign next to it said to watch for algae blooms. This man made lake has evidently been damaged significantly by the species that built it. We went in anyways because we had waited all day and it was super hot... but the water wasn't looking real clean and overall it was a concern and a disappointment. This is on the second day of summer so I can't imagine how nasty it gets in late summer. Some road noise and some trains, so not totally quiet.

    It is a pleasant place and has a nice feel to it overall. It worked well for a one night stop.

    Huge State Park Outside a Big City but You'd Never Know It

    Our RV GPS wanted to take us to the maintenance gate about a mile from the park entrance where you check in. Waze, however, took us to the right entrance where there was an entrance sign. Check in was fairly quick and we asked about cancellations for a FHU site. We were offered site B-4, but when we checked it out the site was too small for our 39’ fifth wheel. We went back around to the campground’s(CG) potable water fill up at the dump station, arriving right after the 3:00 PM check in time. The water spigot has a splitter so you can fill on both sides. Later we found that there are brick water fountains that have a spigot periodically throughout the park but they are not marked on the map. After filling, we headed to premium water-view site K-21 that is a back-in 30/50 AMP, no water nor sewer. Alum Creek is a huge CG with multiple types of sites i.e. FHUs, water view, electric only, etc. What we liked abut this CG was that many of the sites have vegetation on both sides so even if the sites are close together you have privacy. We got 5 bars on Verizon and a lot of OTA channels. Due to the amount of mature trees, satellite could be iffy depending on your site choice. There were restrooms and restroom/shower houses throughout the park/loops. We were able to park sideways in our site with wheels on the grass with no problem. From the K loop there was a large path to the lake for fishing, swimming, or kayak launch. Delaware, OH is about 10 minutes away with all the amenities. In the main/old part of town, parking on the side streets is free.

    Dillon State Park Campground

    Great State Park

    Dillon State Park was a perfect weekend spot outside of Cincinnati (2.5 hours). Campground was immaculate. Despite being a very hilly area, all the sites are level. The bathrooms we had access to were heated and perfectly clean (although the bathrooms closest to our site were locked). The park is gigantic. Despite that we had the entire campground to ourselves over New Years Eve weekend. Because the campground is so large(>150 sites), I'd image it feels a bit cramped during busy season. However, there's a decent amount of trees and the sites along tree lines wouldn't be bad in peak season. It was re-assuring to see the ODNR officers drive through multiple times over the weekend even though it was empty. There is plenty to explore and see and it's easy to run into downtown Zanesville if you need something but you still feel pretty isolated at the campground. The beach was fantastic and we also walked the storybook trail. We didn't attempt any other trails because of the mud but the park had plenty to offer. Last note, if rain is predicted, the place turns into a complete mudpit (see pictures of standing water), plan accordingly. We will be back (with our bikes and kayaks next time when it doesn't rain).
