The Best Camping Near Malvern, Ohio

Nice small campground.. relaxing, great wooded views .. lake for swimming. Has full hook ups (W/E/S).  Sights are pretty level, are newer so gravel still settling. We would come back here! 

Relaxing. 

Management are very friendly, the place is quiet and very relaxing. Shower house need some love but everything else is just perfect. Each spot has a fire pit, full connections for $450 per month, you can’t beat that!! We’re definitely coming back 

Beautiful Place

Friendly staff.  Definitely insanely overpriced for low-impact tent-campers.  (They charge based on the assumption you'll be using their electric and water hook-ups at tent sites, for example.  For the record, I consider $25 to pitch a tent, have a campfire you fund, and get a hot shower they fund to be absurd.)

Bathroom facilities are poor and not well-maintained, but count as (barely) serviceable.  Make sure to bring sandals so as not to step in the animal shit that covers the floors of the restrooms.  Large campground.  Could be worth it for tent campers if you plan to make use of other amenities they offer, such as their swimming pond with diving board.

Would I go again?  Maybe, maybe not.  Probably not, but your mileage may vary.  Their primary audience is clearly the RV crowd.  Every single one of their tent sites has water and electric hookups, and no serious tent campers (car campers, glampers) want or need that, but are expected to pay for it anyway.

If you're going to this place, you're probably in the RV crowd.  Look for reviews from those folks.  For mostly primitive tent camping (i.e, a place to pitch a tent plus a hot shower), I rate this place as a C+.  This rating is based almost entirely on value (D) and quality of the bathroom/shower amenities (C).  The well-maintained land and the additional amenities many will not care for give it a boost to the C+ range.

OK Campground

The lady running the concession stand was cracked out!!! Then wants to make rules for the lake that aren’t posted. She screams at the kids and is a bully. She isn’t sober and gives the swim tests for the docks. So let put a kid that we don’t know if they can swim in deeper water. Then watch them from the concession stand. Swim at your own risk, means hope the crackhead doesn’t make a new rule. We won’t be returning.

Terrible 

The owners don’t care about camper safety at all. When a permanent camper starts slashing tires and threatening people with a knife they should act when called. Nope they came up two plus hours later and told her to get in her camper. Violence should never be exceptable. The women was arrested the next morning. The owners should have called the sheriff’s when they were called. They care zero about the campers or the kids that are there. Very unsafe. We won’t be back.
