The campground sits about a mile east of the main Mountwood Park entrance along Route 50, requiring campers to drive past the park's day-use area to reach the overnight sites. This Wood County facility operates seasonally from May through November, drawing visitors who prioritize ATV access and fishing opportunities over resort-style amenities.
Most sites include electric and water hookups, though Seána B. notes that "some of the electric hookups had damage but being able to choose your spot upon arrival helped." The campground accommodates both short-term visitors and long-term seasonal campers, with some sites featuring permanent wooden decks and steps. Primitive tent sites occupy sloped terrain with uneven ground, while RV sites tend to work better for smaller rigs since pull-through options appear limited.
The location provides direct access to extensive ATV trail networks, with one main trailhead situated just past the primitive camping area. Weekend traffic from dirt bikes and four-wheelers increases notably during peak season. Across Route 50, the main park section offers a 50-acre lake for fishing, mountain bike trails, and a dog park for campers traveling with pets.
Campers seeking more developed facilities might consider Harris RV Park across the Ohio River, which provides full hookups in a more structured setting.
