Shawnee State Park-Ohio River Campground

We stayed in Site 09. The sites are spacious with level, asphalted pads. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

Toward the front of the campground is a great splash pad, playground, and dog park, which includes an agility course. These are located away from the RV's; therefore, the campground was very quiet and peaceful.

Nearby was a marina, fishing access, and an archery range. The surrounding hills are pretty.

The bath house was clean. A laundry room was available.

The only drawback was the lack of shade. Because this place is relatively new, in time--as the planted seedlings grow--this problem will lessen.

This campground has some of the largest and best spaces camp sites of any full hookup we have visited. There are great walking paths and biking/ scooter options. Our site was closer to the main road than any other but it was still a few hundred yards away. There is river access and it is close to Shawnee State Lodge and Portsmouth, which had great flood wall murals. The site was very clean but could use more trash cans to keep it that way. There is either a shooting range or someone shooting on their own property nearby that did steal some of the peace Saturday midafternoon but it was only for a few hours and wasn’t close enough to be a big deal.
