Mt Gilead State Park Campground

We like this small campground, it works well for us. Our pad was pretty level and not hard to back into with a small camper. however, a lot of the pads are at 90° angles instead of 45° so it can be harder for a larger camper back in. The full hook up side the sites are really tight together. The electric only sits are spread out a little more. Some have decent shade while others have none at all. Our site was really nice and had space for a tent or you could hang from a hammock. Great camp store, playgrounds, frisbee golf, hiking paths and small lake.

The store and check in office weren't open to check in or get the wifi password.

Heated bathroom was nice.

We’ve been here before and like the smallness of the park. It’s really pretty in the fall and has some sites that sit back in trees. The sites can be tight to get in and out of with big campers as the turns are almost at a 90 degree angle.

Our site was nice - it had trees and space to walk our dogs. There’s a nice shower house with separate flush toilets. There are a couple of vault toilets on one end.

The camp store is a nice size and has a variety of items. If you have kids there’s a good playground. Lots of trails to hike and play frisbee golf.

This campground wasn’t level and the spots are so tiny I should have stayed at the KOA across the street for larger spots. That’s how small these are here. Our spot is on an incline. Full hookups are nice but dog poop galore. The pet owners here (not all of them) just let there dogs go anywhere and leave it. Sad. The camp store is nice and the staff is friendly. Restrooms are clean too.

Campground was nice and well maintained. The "Camp Host" came around a few times a day to ensure trash was picked up and needs were met. Site 8 has full hookups and a concrete parking pad. The roses are narrow and the larger rig next to us had issues getting in. The sites on our side of the road sloped away from the parking pad. It there wasn’t a level spot off the concrete. We had to use our leveling blocks under the picnic table.

We stayed here for 3 nights with other family members. The park has soooooo much for kids to do it was amazing.

Short drive from Der Dutchmen, and plenty of fun places to sight see.

Would for sure come back here again.

The little drive around the pond is a bit of a butt clencher though.

This was our first trip ever so we decided to go to a smaller state park. This was a really nice place to start. We were at spot #6, had a porch at the end of the drive which overlooked the woods and the lake. (Will attach photos) The trails were not long at all. Less than 2 miles total and it was beautiful. Very quiet all day and all night. We stayed the first weekend of April and was a little cold over night. They do offer frisbee golf. It was just an overall relaxing weekend and felt great to unplug from work and the cell phones. Would stay here again. Forgot to mention they had tent sites, electric only or full hookups. We paid $29 a night for the full hookups. They do have a dump station as well and portable water.

This park isn’t all that big but it was nice. Surprised that the showers were open during COVID. The showers were nice, you get your own shower room which was quite large. Restrooms were nice also and there was access to “a hole in the ground” bathroom that wasn’t so nice. The camp host makes several rounds around the park and was very friendly. A lot of RV and campers here but site was nice for our tent with plenty of space.

Nice campground that's very well maintained. Some of the sites are close together, especially in the site with full hookups, but not too bad. We were in sight #9 that is close to the neighbors, but it had a large area in back with a fire pit. The camp has nice trails, a fishing lake and disc golf course along with other activitie. The store was closed due to Covid-19 but restrooms and showers were open.

This is one of the smaller campgrounds in the Ohio State Parks system but it’s a little hidden gem. With a larger camper with have to park at the end of the row so not as many trees, but still a great park. The hiking trails are nice and one of the better marked parks. They camp store is nice and well stocked. They also have a small lake and a disc golf course. Site 37

Loved the trees and shade. The lots were small and some on hills. But we loved the fire ring setting down in, lower than the road & camper for more privacy.  However, there was no grate on the ring. Went to the host on Friday evening, no one was home. Went back at 8:15 am and he sent a worker down. Unfortunately, they were under the impression the ODNR rings cannot have them installed? So if you plan on cooking on the fire, be sure to bring a grate. The grounds are well kept, even during the Covid-19 with restrictions on 6/5/20 when we arrived. Enjoyed the hiking trails and the opportunity to share nature facts with the grandkids. Recommend you visit soon!

Ok small sites you got that from the title. Small park, very small however we loved it. Our site had a deck right behind the camping pad because the site has a descent slope. The fire pit was down the slope which was cool being out of site from walkers. Hiking trails very well maintained (only saw 3 pieces of trash while hiking, we picked up the garbage) Bathrooms clean and nice showers. We went Friday-Sunday would do again for a short weekend. President Harding’s house and tomb close by also a few wineries.

Very small clean some play areas seen good for city based activities camp ground not so much

This campground is small with small sites. However some sites do have electricity and water. I think all have electric. The park is nice for fishing and hiking and there are spots for the kids to play.

One huge problem I had was the lack of staff midweek. As it turned out they were going to seal the asphalt the next day so I moved on and did not spend as much time as I wanted to. I probably will not return to this campground due to the size of the sites.

This is a great park. Has a large pavilion. Nice camp sites. Has many hiking trails. Amphitheater is good size.

We stayed only one night and it was a pretty roomy site. We took a night walk with headlamps and found the disc golf course. This was laid out to be a crazy course and included repelling ropes!

My husband and I camped here last week without kids. We stayed at site 10. The campground was quiet and peaceful. Our site was a concrete pad and our grassy area was on a hill. It is dog friendly and the shower house was clean. They also have laundry available. Our kids would have been bored but if you’re looking for quiet, this is a great place.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at Mount Gilead State Park Campground. The campground seemed to be geared towards people with RVs, as all the sites had electrical hookups. There were also sites with water hookups, but those cost a bit more. We just needed a place to park our car and pitch a tent, so we found a site with a good amout of grass and less pavement. The sites were pretty close together, but there were just enough trees between them that there ended up being some element of privacy.

The rest of the facility seemed nice as well. There was a small playground, and an office that sold firewood. The restrooms and showers were impeccably clean. They were the cleanest of any campground I've seen so far. The showers are free and button-operated. In addition, I believe there was a hiking trail or two through the forest that started at the campground. I would happily camp here again!

Lovely state park! Happy about the new indoor facilities.
