Beaver Creek State Park Campground in East Liverpool, Ohio offers a variety of camping options including an Equestrian Camp on Sprucevale Road with 59 primitive sites. The equestrian area features tie-ups for horses, with 12 sites available by reservation while the remaining operate on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground accommodates tents, RVs, and cabins, with pets permitted on all sites. The family campground has 6 electric sites and 44 non-electric sites, though horses are only permitted at the dedicated equestrian camping area. The horse sites lack electric hookups but provide basic amenities including vault toilets.
The North Country National Scenic Trail connects directly to the park, providing extensive riding opportunities through wooded terrain. Trails through the main park take riders through beautiful pine forests with multiple stream crossings. The park maintains limited facilities with no running water at campsites, so equestrians must bring water for their horses or access it from designated areas. Trailer parking is available at the equestrian campground, designed to accommodate various sized horse trailers. Sites can be quite crowded during peak seasons with limited privacy between campers. The nearby creek provides scenic riding routes, particularly popular among equestrians who enjoy multi-day rides, as the waterway eventually connects to the Ohio River.

Warm Days, Cool Nights--No Frills Camping
When you pull into Beaver Creek Family Campground you pretty much have two choices: either you go left into multiple Pine tree sites or right into two cabins and more RV friendly open sites. A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks. I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers. I stayed in one of the first set of 3 pine sites numbered 43, 44, and 45. There is some brush and cover between these sites, but each has a pull in parking pad. If 45 was occupied with a RV, 44 would not be as nice as it was. Backing into 44 and 45 would be tricky as well. To be fair any larger RV that came in better know how to get through tight quarters.
The back area of each of those 3 sites looked best to get even ground for a tent. My buddy hung his hammock between the tree to the left of the picnic bench and to a tree back and left in the picture of site 44. Site was fairly clean, but be sure to move the pine tree duff away from the fire pits to be safe.
Probably the nicest pit toilets I have experienced and while we didn't use, it the sun shower building would give anyone privacy if they had packed a portable shower. Lots of trails to choose from and the pioneer village in the state park gives you many options to spend the day. Had some luck fishing at the Canoe/Kayak area in the South East area of the park close to the Group Camp Sites.

Smaller state park
Small quiet state park. Nice trails and very big sites on the one side.

Group Camping and Cabins — Moraine State Park
Limited camping
Moraine State Park doesn't allow camping within the park and there is no campground affiated with park. The one exception is along the North Country Trail, there are 2 rustic shelters that must be reserved through the park office. There are several private campgrounds in the area

Beaver Creek State Park Campground
A perfect one night trip
The sites that were around us had a perfect view of the Beaver Creek Valley. Our site was more in the corner with trees and brush blocking the view but we still enjoyed our site. Check in was easy since you can go right to your site and they have your trip details already pin to you campsite post. We stayed during the week so we didn’t share the campground with that many people. The campground was mixture of large sites and some small sites. The smaller sites were near the playground. We were thoroughly impressed by this campground, even if it was a smaller state park. We only stayed a night but we had a really nice and relaxing time at the state park. We were able to check out two of there trails but they have a quite a few trails. They had the pioneer village which was cute and interesting to walk through. Overall, a perfect low stress one night trip.

Crowded and noisy
If you like peace and quiet this is not the place. No privacy. Dogs barking constantly, cars driving up and down the road constantly...kids screaming and running up and down the road especially young ones that definitely need adult supervision. Most of the sites are small and too close together. Not much room to maneuver a trailer into the narrow uneven pads. The rest of the site was full of rocks, cigarette butts and bottle caps. Came for a relaxing weekend and so far just been annoyed by rude people. Drinking water available but rvs are not allowed to fill tanks. Vault toilets. Full at&t reception. Quiet time 10pm-7am

Finally out, nice weekend
I’ve always loved this quite, small campground. It’s been closed over the last 2 seasons due to the Ash bore, but the future is bright for this area.
Be sure to take in the Pioneer Village

Pretty State Park with Small Family Campground and Horseman Campground
I live near by to this state park and have spent much time exploring the entirety of it.
The trails are all nice, nothing too strenuous, and each have something unique compared to the others in the park. During the spring the Salamander trail is filled with thousands of Trilliums, a truly majestic experience. Lots of flowing water to enjoy throughout the park, some are off the trails but never hard to reach. A good park to enjoy with family and friends because you can fish, kayak, bike, skate, hike, horseback, and picnic. In addition, there are numerous historical cabins, locks, shelters, and a water run mill to sight-see. Then for those in search of a bit of spookiness, Gretchen’s Lock is notoriously a haunted location with certainly eerie vibes.
The family campground is small, but the park as a whole is not far from civilization so if any supplies are needed it is not a far endeavor.
I do not horseback, so I cannot comment on that campground, but many of the trails are friendly for horses to travel.
OH! And if you are there on the weekends the Wildlife Center is a must! The staff are so nice, it is by donation to visit so is in everyone’s price range. An astounding display of animals and nature information! You can even hold the snakes and see a bee hive in action.

Guide to Cheswick
Moraine State Park restricts regular camping within the park boundaries, offering only cabin accommodations, two rustic group camping areas, and Adirondack-style shelters for backpackers along the North Country Trail. The park does not provide designated horse facilities or corrals, though the extensive trail system attracts visitors for hiking, biking, and outdoor activities. Riders seeking equestrian-focused accommodations need to seek private facilities near the park. The cabins and group tenting areas lack shower facilities and have limited amenities, with the backpacking shelter known to have mouse problems due to improper food storage.
Beaver Creek State Park Campground in East Liverpool, Ohio, approximately one hour from Pittsburgh, offers a dedicated equestrian camping area on Sprucevale Road with 59 primitive sites without electric hookups. The equestrian camp features tie-ups for horses and vault latrines, with 12 sites available by reservation and the remaining available first-come, first-served. Positioned along scenic creeks and wooded areas, the park provides direct access to multiple trail systems suitable for horseback riding. The family campground section offers a small selection of electric sites, though water is limited as the park operates on a well system and does not allow RVs to fill onboard tanks.
