Lake Alma State Park Campground, near Wellston, Ohio, is a cozy spot that offers a mix of outdoor fun and essential amenities. With sites that allow for both RVs and tents, it’s a decent choice for those looking to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.

Way to close

Campsites 40-43 are for close friends of family. Spur of the moment plans landed us here for the weekend. We booked 42 site unseen.. when we put out our awning we touched camper in front of us.. camp host let us switch campsites. Plenty of fishing and biking trails. Campsites we're just too close for us.

Very nice but small, tight sites

Very nice little state park campground. Sites are close together & of varying lengths so be sure to check the dimensions of the site before reserving. Shower house was cleaned regularly. Bathroom was a pit-toilet that was also cleaned daily but is older &, well, it’s a pit toilet so it’s going to smell like one. Nice little lake w/ a walking path around it & hiking trails into the woods & hills.

Small sites, very close

Super small campground with one road in/same road out. Check-out time created quite the backup.

The sites were too short for my camper, which is odd because when booking I indicated the length of my camper. I had to back in camper, drop it, move truck, hook camper back up and finish backing in to site. Pulling out was the reverse of this. 

A smaller camper would fit perfect right next to the creek at the end of the road. The lake is nice too with a small island.

Nice hiking and bike trails

It was a beautiful area, with lots of activities and close to restaurants and stores. My complaint was with the campground. The sites were very close together and the noise level at night was unbelievable. The people beside us was drinking and being very loud up until after 11:30. Was not happy with the campground at all. Would definitely go back to spend the day but will never camp there again.

Beautiful, hidden gem in SE Ohio

A beautiful place that is very accessible to people walking or biking from the campground unlike other SE Ohio state parks. The campground is a bit tightly packed but there is so much to do that you don’t mind. Very well maintained!

Tiny sites, very crowded

The sites were very small and narrow (about 16 feet wide) and packed closely together. Each site was crowded way over capacity- think an RV with multiple tents, at least 2 cars if not 4 cars at one site, 6-14 people at one site. Crowds and chaos! The bathroom (just one with running water- four stalls) was trashed the whole time. I never saw anyone cleaning it. The lake is very small but pretty. I wouldn't stay here again unless I had something else to go to in the area, but there isn't much around.
