Over night stop or for a couple of days ok, very quiet, as it is a way off the roads. People are nice and after you pay them you do not see anyone again. They do have a dump station but it is not on the road out. You camp out in a big open field on grass. Roads are all paved. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This fairgrounds is open to campers all year. Phone: 740-775-5083. They provide water and electric for $10 a night. It's only a few miles out of Chillicothe on Rt. 23. We found it quiet and clean. It was a nice, inexpensive place to stay overnight or for a few days. During the fair (first 2 weeks of August) and Labor Day weekend, all campsites are reserved well in advance. Other times of year, there are few campers. Check with the caretaker, Mike, at the above phone number about any events that might affect camping. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent a night while passing through Ohio. Nice, clean campground with very friendly hosts. Do not take credit cards. Did not use any facilities. Easy to get to from highway and easy to get back on. Very nice campground for the short stay we did. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park owner was very nice and accommodating. They do not accept credit cards. Showers were very clean but could have better water pressure. Nice that it was a dry weekend as where they put our group was in a grassy area with trees but no pads. Would return to this campgrounds when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The Park was very nice and also clean. There was a nice little playground for the children. There are also fish in the pond. The shelter house looked very nice. We had a group of 8 differnt types of campers and this campground was great for that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our sites were in a shaded grassy area. Nice area for groups. Lots of seasonals and full time mobile homes. Nice pond for fishing although I don't think I'd swim in it. The owners have a generator running 24/7. Not real noisy, but we could still hear it when we went to bed. While we cleaned up after our pets, the "locals" didn't do the same. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice campground to use to go see the drama Tecumseh. A must see. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice,clean, well maintained campground. It's particularly nice in the summer because of the shady sites and quiet location. The pond looks nice, but it's small and is not really a nice swimming area. The modem hookup advertised is in the office and not convenient to use since the office is locked much of the time. Although they advertise that they are open all year, there is no water in the winter, and the restrooms and showers are closed. We also camped there in February and had to run a hose from the owners house to fill our water tank (for an extra charge). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great little campground! Several seasonal's, but every last seasonal unit was well maintained and the people were some of the friendliest we've ever met. They even invited us to join them for dinner the first night we pulled in. There is a small pond with fishing and swimming, a nice shelter house area, concrete pads, and very level sites. The owner, Norma is a fantastic host and was very accomodating. Unfortunately, this park closes mid to late October (although I understand she keeps a space or two open for travelers) and we needed winter accomidations so we had to move on, but if we're ever in the area again, we'll be sure and visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
