A.W. Marion Campground- Campsite non-electric- 025

This was a weekday camping trip (Wednesday) and the campground was mostly empty.  I never did see the two camp hosts while I was at the park. I was not able to purchase any camp fire wood or ice as they were not there.  The town is close by so you can easily purchase what you need in town. I actually was lazy and had breakfast in town at Bob Evans due to the rain. 

Ohio campsites no longer do walk on sites.  It is easy to pull in and look at the sites to determine which one you would like and then make your purchase online.  I do this to ensure I get a camp spot near the host(s) and that I am close to the bathroom. It also allows me to see the conditions of the campsite before I pay for it.  You won't be able to take a shower at this campground. Hopefully, ODNR will add a shower house in the future as this would make the campsites even better. 

The playground seems new as I don't recall seeing it in the past but my memory could be faulty.  The group campsites seemed to be better cared for this time with some improvements.  There is a simple basketball court for kids to play at as well. 

This park is pretty basic and near the lake.  You do have to go around to the other side to access the marina.
