Great place

We stayed in area 5. Awesome place. It was late October so most things were closed. We'll definitely be back in 2024.

Needs accurate website for bookings

Booked 2 sites online using website. Upon getting to our sites the numbers listed on the site posts did not match the numbers on the site map used for booking. Section 4. Seasonal campers verified the campground constantly changes site numbers around.. It is very misleading. Should not offer booking online or should make sure all online booking locations have the site numbers and pictures accurate. The site we had was NOT the one pictured on the map online. Very small, muddy, and could not even have a fire on it. Got lucky no one was across from us. We used that site to build a fire. Make sure you don't forget anything or need gas, not much around.

Big Lake Big Sites

This campground has three main sections, one for permanent campers and boaters, the new section (Section 5 which is great) and another primitive section up on the hill. Section 5 is the bomb!! We stayed in the 5-520-531 section. Sites are new, clean, full hookups, with plenty of paved surfaces to park. Camper sites are level and the hookups are new and easy to use.

Clean and convenient getaway

Last weekend we stayed at Tappan Lake Park in Deersville Ohio. We reserved a spot in the “new section 5” of the park. I haven’t been to Tappan lake in probably 15 years with a RV. I have to say I was very happy with the facilities (restrooms, showers, and laundromat). The park was relatively clean and well organized. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although they were sold out of firewood they did direct us to a place about a half mile away that sells some. Volleyball courts, and basketball courts were all in good condition. Plenty of hiking trails throughout the park. The beach probably could have been better because of the Canadian goose 💩 all over (to be fair though I only stopped there once and it could have been cleaned up after I checked it out). The lots in section 5 were all concrete full hookup sites and pretty much level. Water pressure was good and had no issues with the power. I will say if you are a tv watcher you may be out of luck here as no reception was found on any stations. I did receive about 2 radio stations while there also. I have AT&T cell service and found 1 and 2 bars throughout the park. I enjoyed the stay there and so did the rest of the family. The other folks camping were all very friendly and you just can’t wave fast enough here as everyone else already had their hands up waving at us (friendly folks). The park has a small camp store with the essentials and a small grill that had things like hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, etc. The only thing I was missing was a golf cart with a radio apparently because they were all over the place but not disrespectfully loud. I would recommend Tappan Lake Park in Ohio. It was a nice quick getaway that had some nice offerings. If you go I recommend stopping up the road at the Deersville General Store for some great tasting ice cream.

Loud, Crowded and Dirty

Nothing that positive to say about this place. It was really crowded and the campers stayed up all night talking, screaming and listening to music. The bathrooms are so nasty! Unless you walk to the ones all the way in the front entrance, the rest that were close to us were always gross. We lucked out and got a spot on a dead end section of road that you would think would be a bit quieter, yet Sunday morning was a parade of golf carts as the seasonals drove up and down looking to take firewood that people left. The only good thing that came out of all this was I know not to stay here again.

Wont go back

Ive camp there 3 times. Everytime was a disappointment so some reason or another. They have lots of activities for kids which was nice. But every site was horrible. Either unlevel, muddy or something. The golf carts fly around at all hours with neons and loud music. Everynight is a party for all the permanent sites. The beach is stupid. The lifegaurds shut it down every half hour or so fo break instead of rotating in and out. The main life gaurd is a real piece of work. Its sad. They started to remodel it. Now you will be packed in like sardines.
