we stayded here in jun of 2017 and it rained allmost the entire time but from what we could tell it was a very clean place we did get yo walk a few trails for abour 1 hr and see some wildlife and go yedi hunting haha but other than that we played games in the camper make the best of it we will be going back
We drove to Salt Fork from North Carolina on our way to Maumee Bay State Park and the birding festival at Magee March. It was just a quick overnighter, but we did take a little time to walk and bird. The campground was 80% empty, very quiet except for some late-night traffic on the county road nearby, loud pickup trucks. The park is well cared for but is showing its age. I noticed online that Ohio had set aside $88M for upgrades in 2016. It looks like they have not started yet. We stayed here again on the way home. It is a very good birding hotspot in the spring!
We camp here several times a year. Nice trails, good fishing, clean pool, boat rental - always fun no matter the season
Dog park!! and right on the lake!! Found this by mistake on our way out, and the dogs loved it. Access to lake, a beach, well fenced. I would give Salt Fork SP extra stars for this one, especially if there were campsites co-located.
Camp ground is easily accessible being just 6 miles from I70, leaving the convenience of Cambridge and city amenities close by while allowing for great trails and solitude. Stayed in campground A, and the front end has little shade, but being here in autumn was perfect for lots of sunshine on site. Sites with trees for tree tents is minimal. Drinking fountains are dispersed fairly frequently throughout campground, but RV hookups with water were limited during my stay. Shower houses and comfort houses all have flushers and sinks.
TICK WARNING!!!! After a morning hike down wooded Trail, we spent A LONG TIME pulling ticks from dogs...even though the temps were in the 30's overnight and everyone was treated with flea & tick protection.
Salt Fork State Park is worth coming back to :) The weather is a bit chillier then last time and the campground very quiet. Seems to be mostly hunters set up in the C campsite area and a few in the A campsite near us.
The change of season brings a very different atmosphere to the park and the people staying in it. The facilities are still well maintained and the washer and dryer I’m pretty sure are older then me but they do the job. The park staff are very holiday minded and a cheerful group.
The Trailhead’s located throughout the area give you a good workout on the hilly terrain and offer some awesome fall scenery.
Deerasic across the road has a schedule of events and the water recreation though limited is still available.
Just driving in saw turkeys and "turkets":) and two 6 point bucks. You can hike, swim, boat, bike and horseback ride. Primitive tent camping all the way to upscale lodge stays. Electric camper hookups and shower house. In August there is "Deerassic Expo" event, right outside the front drive! Plus!! A lot of other smaller park "gems" nearby.
