Salem-Lisbon Ohio KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Busy weekends at Salem-Lisbon Ohio KOA are part of the deal. Reviewers note the campground runs at capacity on Saturdays, with golf carts moving through the sites and music carrying across the grounds, so campers expecting a low-key overnight should plan accordingly. The KOA sits adjacent to Guilford Lake, and tent sites are positioned directly on the water, which draws repeat visitors who prioritize lake access over seclusion. For RVs, pull-through sites accommodate rigs up to 80 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. Sites can be tight, and in wet weather, particularly during fall and winter stays, some areas turn muddy.

The on-site amenities lean toward convenience. A general store sells firewood, delivered to your site, and includes an ice cream counter and a small pizza shop. Shared bathrooms are unisex single-unit facilities, each with a toilet and shower, positioned toward the center of the campground. Cabins are also available, including a deluxe option with two queen bedrooms, a sleeping loft, a kitchenette, and one and a half baths, which has worked well for groups mixing campers and non-campers. Pets are welcome at most sites, though the deluxe cabins have restrictions.

Guilford Lake State Park Campground is a short distance away for those wanting a comparison, and campsites near Salem give a broader sense of what the region provides. The campground operates year-round, making it a viable base for off-season trips when rates tend to be lower and the grounds less crowded. If the lake access and full hookups fit your checklist, it's worth a look.

Our second stay at this koa

We've stayed twice in the off season. There is so much for families to do. We were upgraded to a pull through. The sites are a bit tight. It's been raining and our step out is into mud. To be expected in the area during the winter. If it isn't snow covered, it's muddy. They have a little pizza shop and are right by Gilford Lake. Staff is super friendly. We will be back!

Quiet nights, lots of permanent ft campers

We didn't use any amenities but, there seemed to be A LOT. Including human Foosball, a train and some boats. We were there for a few nights to visit family. Site was level and quiet facing the woods. Grass was a little high, but not crazy. We had some cool neighbors. Most of the Campground seemed to be people working in the area. But, there seemed to be a lot for families to do.

Old but price reflected that

A gorgeous place with great scenery. 100 10year olds on golf carts without supervision. Traffic non stop. Lots to do with very pleasant folks. Loud music on Saturday. They are doing something right. It’s packed with a waiting list. Don’t go to relax. Lol

A Traditional KOA Experience

This was a Fall camping experience in a cabin as we knew it would be cold in the evenings. We also had a non-camper with us so this was a nice compromise. We had a cozy cabin with 2 bathrooms. We also had a small kitchen where we could cook when we didn't want to cook over the fire. This was another way for us to social distance as COVID-19 was still an issue.

I also took photos of the camping bathrooms as each KOA does it a little differently. You will notice that the bathroom is unisex. It is a single bathroom (toilet and shower). This is in the center of the campground. The bathroom photos below are not of the cabin.

The cabin you see here is the Deluxe. "Deluxe Cabin(More than two Bathrooms), Patio Deluxe Cabin(w/ Bathroom)- Evergreen KL8-9-10 Perfect for large family or two couples with two queen bedrooms, sleeping loft, 1 1/2 baths, kitchenette, 3 tvs located in quiet corner with shade trees. Sorry, Not Pet Friendly! Linens are included in all seasons except Winter. Please bring pool towels." Taken from Reservation Email.

For 2 nights it totaled $153.00 which is a good price compared to other cabins we were looking at within the region. We could have had others camping in the tent section of the campground so it is an easy way to have a mixed crowd for a camping outing.

I did type in some information into the Special Requests within my reservation booking online, as I had a question about who had to pick up the key as a friend lived closer. No one responded and I had to call them.

Cabins Check in is at 3PM and Check out is at 12 PM

We were able to buy firewood from the KOA camp office. They bring it to your campsite and we were able to grill hotdogs and other food items on our camp fire. Do read the general information closely and look at number 15 for a free scoop of ice cream.

https://www.whitehousefruitfarm.com/donuts We did a donut run and explored the farm for our outing for the day.

We also spent the day checking out a local mill https://www.millcreekmetroparks.org/visit/places/mill-creek-park/lantermans-mill/

Sick

Last year all 7 of us got sick after staying here. One day the pool was ok then the next it was so strong with chemicals that I think the pool was the problem. People were nice but we won’t be going back.
