Awesome campground!

We stayed the weekend of September 17-19, 2021 and camped in the H area.  The sites in this area were all level concrete with full hook-up.  There was a large building with restrooms, showers, and laundry.  We were able to enjoy a local band perform on the camp site.  Plenty of hiking/walking/biking and Atwood Lake for Kayaking and boating.  The site had enough room to park a second vehicle if needed.  We truly enjoyed the stay and would return.  Sites fill-up fast at Atwood Lake.  Plus the historic Zoar Village, was near-by to visit.

Incredible!

The Atwood Lake Campground is a true gem in a beautiful area of eastern Ohio! We’ve visited the Atwood region many times in the past but have never camped - but after this visit we’ll be back for sure. The campground is relatively new, with the campground area being completely revamped beginning in 2017. There are two overnight camping areas with seasonal sites in a separate section; we stayed in “Camp H” which is the newest area. There is a huge bathhouse with two sets of men’s and women’s restrooms and shower facilities along with a very nice laundry area. Adjoining the bathhouse area is a beautiful pavilion and children’s playground - all of which overlooks Atwood Lake. The campsites are nicely spaced though if you’re in the inner loop as we were or even some of the outer ring sites you’ll be looking right into your neighbor’s site. All sites are FHU on level concrete pads and include a metal picnic table and fire ring. If needed there are two very well equipped dump stations if you prefer to use them instead of the sewer connection at your site. Many sites are on cul de sacs directly on the lake with docks and fishing areas adjacent to the campsites. Lots of hiking trails, paved bike paths, a swimming beach and restaurant are in a nearby area. We loved the campground and will return soon!

Area H is Beautiful

We stayed in Area H site 898 and could not get over the beautiful landscape. The lake and forest trails surround this area. The restroom and showers are brand new and are spacious and clean! The fellow campers were friendly.

There were sites along lakeside that I highly recommend if you don't need easy access to the facilities.

I have already booked another trip to Atwood Park. Loved it!!

Everything you need for a great experience

Atwood lake os a true gem . Has everything you need. The H campground loops are full hookups, some right on the water. Electric, and primitive sites too. Pets welcome on a leash, a beach and hikng also. Docks available  50' from out waterfront lot. We could leave our camper, take the boat over to the beach and drop off the grandkids and me the Nana for swimming at the beach dock. Good fishing,  clean clean clean. Staff at rhe marina are very helpful. There is a snack shop and a full restaurant at the marina with great food, an ice cream dariette just down the road.  I highly recommend trying it, you wont regret it!

One of the Prettier Landscaped Parks

Located right in a lake it’s great for relaxing and watching the sailboats go by. The site have large concrete pads with full hookups. They offer a nice laundry facility and also a small camp store. They have several hiking trails and a fire tower that’s fun to climb. Will definitely go back. Site 919

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Camped a long weekend for the fall festival. Campground was nice, quiet and people were friendly. Spots are roomy, with nice yard/fire space. Not all spots are full hook up, but some are. Shower houses are nice and clean. Had a lot of activities for the kids. Over all it was nice place, I would camp here again.

Small sites but do-able

Friendly staff who you don't see unless you go find them. Rangers patrolling the grounds. Nice beach area with toys for the kids and adults. Pet friendly. Nature center and store. Biggest downfalls were the construction, small sites and bath houses being spread out. Not great when it rains, grounds flood quickly.

Not for tent campers

This campground is HUGE (more than 500 sites), and it's absolutely jam packed with RVs and permanent trailers. We were fortunately given the opportunity to drive around the campground and look for a site that was appropriate for tents. We nearly turned around and left, but managed to find a site on the water that seemed really nice and far enough away from the RVs. The downside was that it was completely covered in goose scat, which made for an evening of dodging scat with every single step. Definitely not recommended for tent campers.
