    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.

      Beaver Creek State Park Campground

      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.

      Group Camping and Cabins — Moraine State Park

      Beyond the Great Outdoors

      I have been camping at Moraine State Park since I was 5 years old (so about 14 years). While I was in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts we used the 5 Points Group Camping Area a lot. It is right next to the bike trail and has access to the lake. I have enjoyed my time at Moraine and will enjoy it every time I visit.

      Great park but no rv sites

      This is a great place just of interstate 79. Been going there since I was a kid. In fact my family used to own property near by. This park has an awesome trail system for walking or biking

      Beaver Creek State Park Campground

      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.

      Beaver Creek State Park Campground

      Great history!

      The camp ground was nice except there is no running water. We took advantage of some of the hiking trails around and they were good in some areas, but definitely needed to be kept up on more often. Very over grown and difficult to follow the trails, but overall we were able to hike for about 3 hours without running into anyone else. The creek that runs through the area is beautiful and there were many people fishing along the way. Kayaking is also very popular among the creek, but the water was too low this time. If I were to go back I would definitely kayaking if the water is at the right level. The best part about the area was the history that surrounds it. There is a pioneer village near the park office that offers some picnicking areas around it. It also has original buildings from the pioneer days (church, school, etc). Really historical area to check out and hike around.

      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.

      Group Camping and Cabins — Moraine State Park

      No campground, though shelter sites accessible for backpacking

      Moraine is a really large state park with a huge lake, nice beaches, and tons of trails.  The north country trail runs for over a dozen miles from end to end.  This review is of the shelter sites, of which there is one, for backpacking along the trail.  There are three shelters which are all very mouse infested.  I believe this is because the site does not have a bear pole or bear box, so I think most people probably don't hang their food like they should and thus the mice move in to forage.  Of the 3, the Hilltop shelter 2, which we stayed in is the nicest and private.  There is a rustic vault toilet but no water at the site.  I asked the lady at the park office if there was water nearby and she said yes, just hike down to the access road and over to the group tenting site to fillup.  I'll tell you, this is not close - easily a 2-3 mile round trip.


    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. The park's primitive camping conditions include pit toilets and no shower facilities.
