We used this RV park as an overnight stop on a long trip. It is just a short drive from I-40 and you cross a long narrow bridge just before getting to the park’s entrance. It’s a combo marina, rental condos, RV park, and casual fine dining restaurant The complex is only two years old. Somehow they lost our reservation that was made a few days in advance, but getting a site was no problem since we were here in the off-season. Maybe half of the sites were filled with newer, modest RV’s, set up for extended stays with PVC pipe for sewer hose, and real patio furniture. The one and only pull-through site was occupied by a long term camper. Our site was a back-in which overlooked the cove. Spacing was good, minimal road noise from Route 92, some nice landscaping details, but no picnic table or fire ring. Utility connections were fine, cable TV had thirteen channels. Did not try the Wi-Fi. Restrooms over by the docks were clean when I checked, but there didn’t seem to be any showers. Lots of litter around the lake, but maybe during the peak season more effort is put into cleaning that up. Having been on the road all day we had dinner at the resort’s restaurant, Angelos at the Point. The place features outdoor dining and an outdoor bar; both overlooking the lake, but both were closed this time of year. If you check Trip Advisor, this restaurant gets mixed reviews. They were pretty busy the night we were there and we thought the food was really good. Overall it would be a decent place to stay for a while, but for us it was an expensive overnight stop.

The listing for this campground needs to be updated as they now have WiFi here: encrypted, with a strong signal and good speed. Also there are sewer hookups at five sites. There are plenty of mature trees, so if you need satellite TV you will probably be out of luck. TV broadcast reception in the area is limited to a few stations. We used this park as a base camp for touring the Bourbon Trail, and for that the location was excellent. The park also has an 18 hole golf course, which may be an added attraction for some. Sites are for the most part spaced well, but that could be a problem for some since the power connections, 30 amp max, and water connections are located between each pair of campsites. I had to use my 50’ water hose and my 25’ extension cord to get hooked up. Note that the sewer connections are about where you would expect them, towards a rear corner of the parking pad. This park is best suited to mid-sized RV’s or smaller. My 31’ travel trailer was a snug fit, and there were a few big rigs squeezed in. Parking pads are paved and generously wide, though most are short. Some have been lengthened a bit with gravel. There are three pull-through sites here, though two of them are parking areas parallel to the road. All sites will require some leveling, and I recommend bringing extra blocks or planks for this purpose. The restrooms are outdated though they looked clean and in working order when I checked for this review. The dump station has a curb around the connection so a longer hose might be needed if you will be dumping a tote tank. The guard shack at the entrance seemed to be manned at random.

Extremely beautiful and well kept. Section A is more rustic with gravel parking pads, heavy woods, and roads are a bit rough in comparison to the rest of the park. Section B looks like roads and parking pads have all been freshly paved. Plenty of shade, but less trees than section A. The shower house is rather unique in that it has traditional restrooms but the showers are private unisex stalls with accessible from the outside. There was also a coin laundry in the same building with a small book exchange. We didn’t use any of these facilities but when I checked for this review everything was clean and looked in working order. We used this park as a base camp when visiting Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Although it is quieter and more scenic compared to RV parks in Williamsburg, taking the ferry across the James River can be slow at times. Also, the dump station had a curb around the connection which made it tough to use a tote tank for dumping.

This was our first time staying at a large mega resort and the place is practically a small town. There are even rental houses there and the camp store is like a small supermarket just to give you an idea. Golf car traffic was heavy at times on the main roads. If you have a site close to the beach it’s easy enough to walk so a rental golf car isn’t necessary. Having made a reservation weeks in advance, we were sent an express check-in pack in the mail. Basically a hang tag for the mirror and instructions to call when we were almost there to confirm our site was ready. It worked great. We just had to pull in and hook up with no stop at the office. Sites are wider than expected, but it seems that if you have a 31’ trailer they give you a site with a 32’ long pad. Trying to pull into such a site located between two narrow access lanes with neighbor’s rigs filling up their entire pads and tow vehicles and golf cars parked in the grass, made getting in and out a tight squeeze. Despite the magnitude of this facility, it had a nice laid back and even private feel to it. Quiet hours were respected, grounds were clean, and security patrols frequently. Unlike other parks along the beach, you are allowed to build a campfire here, although you have to bring your own fire ring. The beach was great. We also used the coin laundry, a large facility, clean and only a few machines were out of order. There must be over one hundred cable TV channels. I can’t comment on the pool, skate park, pizza delivery, or other amenities. If this place doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it.

Beautiful and well kept. The place has more the feel of an upscale resort than a county park. There is coin laundry located at the restrooms and a camp store with all the basics. Most sites are well spaced for privacy but some are paired up. Check the park map when reserving a site.

There are currently some renovations being done in the campground. Some restrooms are closed, some water faucets are not working, and there are some piles of debris or building materials cluttering up an otherwise beautiful place. You can get a large RV in here, but will most likely have to make a reservation far in advance as maybe half of the parking pads tend to be small. Some tree limbs were low over the roads in some spots and I’d be concerned about damage to rubber roofs, antennas, etc. With the dump station being located six miles away, and you are supposed to fill fresh water tanks there as well, I just didn’t consider it to be an RV friendly campground. That said it made a wonderful and peaceful retreat after a day in town. Easily worth the extra effort to get a large trailer in here and in a year or so when construction is finished it should only be better.

This is one of many primitive campgrounds located in the George Washington National Forest. A one-lane gravel loop with thirty back-in sites with mostly level gravel parking pads. Self registration, no hookups, no showers, vault toilets, heavy woods, most campers seemed to be locals, very quiet and rustic. There is a dump station located near the exit. A number of water faucets are located around the loop but you may hold up the minimal traffic here as you fill your water tank. Water was brown and a notice said it was borderline safe for consumption. We used this place for an overnight stop although it is a forty-five minute drive north from I-64 over narrow and steep winding roads. Best to stay a while and enjoy the hiking and fishing in the area. I would have given a higher rating if the water quality had been better.

This is an older campground that has been under new ownership for the last four years. Evidently it was pretty run down at one time, and the current friendly owners have done a lot to clean things up and make various improvements. This was obvious in the restroom and shower building, which was clean when I checked and has seen some upgrades. There is also a small coin laundry in one corner of the building. The location is somewhat out of the way for the usual Hocking Hills attractions but that makes it nice and quiet, and if you don’t feel like driving much this campground could easily be a destination in itself. Very much a family oriented place with lots of planned activities, and a camp store that stocked a lot of candy. They also stock the usual items and night crawlers if you want to go fishing in the pond. The pool was small but clean and fairly modern. The front of the campground is mostly open but with some decent shade trees, and probably your best bet it you have a big rig. The back section has a handful of full hookup sites, mostly occupied by seasonals, and lots of shade. The gravel roads in the back are narrow and winding but in very good condition. One drawback may be that the dump station is back there on one side of a road, with no pull-off or passing lane. No matter where your site is you will probably have to do a little leveling, but nothing outrageous. Tent campers should check out the no hookup sites in the very back which have a nice view over some rolling wooded hills. Note that the price I paid was higher than normal since I was there on a holiday weekend. It is tempting to say that I feel I paid too much for a water and electric site, but then again I could see that my money was being put back into the campground so I’ll consider it an investment for return visits.

Overall a very nice campground. The place is divided into three sections. Section A has the most trees and the least amount of grass. Section B is mainly shaded around the perimeter with smaller trees in the center, and seemed to be the most popular place to be on the weekend we were there. Section C may have a better mix of sun and shade but I noticed a lot of sites that were flooded or extremely muddy and so that section was nearly empty. There had been several days of heavy rain prior to our arrival and I noticed a lot of standing water in general. Sites are well spaced with paved parking pads and electric hookup only. There are a few pull thru sites, but the majority are back-in spaces and some have a considerable slope. There are several playground areas, one near each sub-camp. When I checked the restrooms for this review they were clean, though I thought the open locker room style shower should be reworked into something more private. There is a camp store, though it is a several mile drive from the actual campground. Roads within the camping areas are mostly single lane, yet allow two-way traffic. The angle of parking areas for campsites in relation to the road seems to be a bit random, so a first time visitor might have to pass up their site, find a place to turn around, and come back from the opposite direction in order to back in.

If you will be staying in an RV while visiting the Washington DC area, this is one of your few choices and fortunately it is a good place to stay. They really cater to tourists and give you printed step by step directions for catching the bus, which stops at the park, and goes a short way to the subway station, and the trains will take you just about anywhere you want to go. There are even meetings in the late afternoon for discussing various tours. The park is extremely well maintained and seemed to have the feel of a residential neighborhood as opposed to an RV park, though there was a steady turnover of guests every day. Restrooms were rather generic but clean when I checked. The conference center has numerous meeting rooms, a good sized coin laundry, and even a small workout room. Again, all clean and in working order. Because of the urban location, you will hear road noise at all hours of the day, but the surrounding neighborhood is decent enough if you have to make a run for groceries, etc. Regarding previous posts about location of hookups and ease of getting into and out of your site, conditions seem to vary a lot so it will really depend on where you end up.

We spent a weekend here and stayed in the back section on top of the hill. While I preferred the setting up there as well as the less road noise, sites and roads seem a bit tighter than down in the lower portion. We had one of the few sites that haven’t had cable TV installed yet, and in that area your antenna won’t pick up much. When I checked the restrooms for this review I found they were clean but rather outdated. The lower section has a more modern facility and a decent coin laundry. The few campgrounds in this area tend to fill up with parents and alumni when the local university has a home game, so make reservations.

Its been a while since we stayed here and we were pleasantly surprised at some improvements that have been made over the past few years. First of all an additional two-lane dump station has been built. This was greatly needed to handle the sellout weekend crowds during the peak season. Water faucets throughout the campground have also been rebuilt. A number of the small trees that we remembered being between each campsite have matured to a nice size and we actually had some decent shade in the afternoon, though there is still plenty of sun. When I checked the restrooms for this review they were not very clean, which was disappointing because this time of year the campground was not very busy.

This is an extremely well kept park with friendly management. Most of the sites are rented to seasonals and there is even a row of manufactured homes, again all well maintained. Sites are reasonably level gravel parking pads with concrete patios. Generous spacing between sites for a private campground. There is also a small pond for fishing or swimming. While the park does have some full hookup sites, just about everything left for short stays is water and electric only. I agree with an earlier comment about low water pressure but it was manageable. Restrooms and showers were clean when I checked. On Friday night there was some considerable road noise from Route 35, but the rest of the weekend it was barley noticeable so it might depend on the wind direction or just the day of the week. They don’t take credit cards here. Cash or personal check only. I suggest making a reservation if coming here for the weekend due to the limited number of empty spaces. A good base camp if you are in town to see Tecumseh or other local attractions.

Beautiful park with a number of scenic overlooks and other attractions. Note that there is an additional park entry fee that you pay just once during your stay here, and due to a covered bridge with low clearance at the north gate, all RVs are required to enter at the west gate. The campground is divided up into three sub-camps. The first camp, Buffalo Ridge, is just inside the gate and next to the small camp store, dump station, and overflow parking lot. This is the smallest of the three camps. Sites are level, grassy, some shade trees, but fairly close together. Additional vehicles are supposed to park in the overflow lot so if you will have visitors, Buffalo Ridge might be the place to stay or they will have a long hike from that parking lot. The second camp, further down the main road, is Raccoon Ridge and is more or less a larger version of the first camp. The last camp is Taylor Ridge, and that is the one we stayed in. This is the largest camp and has a few secondary roads that are rough gravel. This section is heavily wooded and the main roads run down the crests of ridges so that most sites slope down from the road, some at severe angles. Some sites don’t have much level ground surrounding the pad. Not much grass back here and it could get muddy during heavy rain. If reserving on-line pay close attention to site descriptions regarding space for slide-outs and length of parking pads, as the number trees could be a problem for you. Restrooms and grounds were clean and well maintained. While most parking pads are gravel, some look like they have been recently paved. Most sites have a newer fire ring with a grill that swings off to the side. Although I saw a few big rigs here, I would not consider this a big rig friendly campground with the heavy woods, small percentage of long parking pads, and no 50 amp electric service. If based on scenery alone the park scores a 9, but most campsites score a 7 so I give an 8.

We used this park as a base camp for five nights during the middle of the week while visiting Mammoth Cave and other area attractions. Absolutely beautiful setting with sites spaced far apart, a nice mix of sun and shade, friendly staff, and clean facilities. Since we were here during the middle of the week we practically had the place to ourselves but we were told that anyone wanting to stay for a weekend should make reservations because it is a small campground and fills up quickly, especially on weekends during nice weather. A few things you should know are that this campground is in a remote location in a dry county, and the camp store only has a limited number of items. Make sure you have all your supplies and beverages with you when you arrive. If going to Mammoth Cave it is about 30 minutes to the visitor’s center, but you are entering the park thru the back way and roads are not well marked.

Very nice State Park and reasonably priced as well. A handful of pull through sites but the majority are back-in spaces. Wide gravel parking spaces with only minor leveling required. Some sites were grassy and had some shade, while others were almost full shade and had little grass. Restrooms and showers were clean when I checked for this review. You can hear I-74 depending on the wind direction, and you can also hear a local speedway on Friday nights during the racing season. We didn't find either of these to be a nuisance. From what I was told, this place fills up fast on the weekends during the warmer months so making reservations is highly recommended. Here is where this park falls short. Reservations can only be made in person or by snail mail. We mailed our reservation in and it was handled just fine, but considering today's technology this seemed to be a slow and inefficient way of doing it. I would have rated this park an 8 if I could have reserved on line or by phone. Maybe next year.

Just beautiful. Great place to stay in the Denver area and a bargain at $22 per night for a full hookup site, although there is an additional park entry fee. Pull thru sites are the half circle drive to the side of the road style, and there are plenty of them with views of the lake and mountains beyond. We didn't use the rest rooms, coin operated showers or coin laundry, but when I checked for this review everything was clean and seemed to be in working order. We were here in the middle of the week in May and the park was only about one quarter full, but a ranger told me that most weekends were packed to full capacity during the warmer months.

One of the nicest KOAs I have stayed at as far as the grounds, buildings, and staff. However, there was constant noise from the adjacent train tracks, I-44, and low flying jets. We were able to drown these out and get a good night sleep by running the air conditioner blower on high speed. A really high price to pay for what was for us just an overnight stop.

This place is brand new so everything was clean and in excellent condition. Some construction still going on. Friendly staff and reasonable rates. Although the park is gigantic there were only a few people there when we made an overnight stop. Sites are all paving and decorative rocks, extra wide and extra long. Big rigs with multiple slides will have plenty of room here. Very nice pool and clubhouse area. We like some outdoor living with our RVing so the low score is due to the lack of picnic tables, fire rings, or a playground. There is plenty of space for these and perhaps they will be added in the future.

Gravel and rock sites with some trees providing decent shade. Mostly pull through sites, but the staff was helpful in getting us one of the back-in sites so that we could set up our portable fire ring and have one of the few picnic tables in the park. As the name implies, the park is bordered by train tracks on one side, but these are used by the local scenic railroads, which stop running shortly after dark. There seemed to be a lot of long term residents here with most of their sites well kept. Rest rooms and laundry facilities were clean when I checked for this review. Can't comment on the continental breakfast since we slept in every morning. After driving by a few other places in the area, this is probably the best deal you can find considering you actually get some shade and cable TV at no extra charge.

At first glance this is a gravel parking lot with hookups, but it turned out to be a great place to stay. The staff really made the difference for us as they were helpful in accommodating us when we decided to stay a bit longer, and gave us good advice on some day trips outside of town. Nice mountain views, and extra large laundry facility. Multiple sewer connections per site to match up with the outlet location on your RV. Back to back hookups puts you close to neighbors on the street side, but curb side had plenty of space between RVs with picnic tables, fire rings, and in most cases a grill. Rest rooms and showers clean when I checked for this review. Price listed is for a full hookup site.

The grounds and buildings are well maintained and the staff was highly visible getting the pool and other things ready for the busy season. Depending on where you are, sites have either paved pads, gravel, or you are parking on grass. Could be a little tight if you and your neighbors have slide outs. Decent shade trees, which is rare in this area. Some road noise, but not too bad. Rest rooms were clean when I checked. No fire rings at the RV sites and the dumpsters were overflowing the two days that we were there. After driving by a few other parks in the area this is probably the nicest place you will find. Price listed is for a full hookup site without cable TV.

I wrote the May 2005 review and this was our second stay at Tremont. Everything was as good as we remembered. While I could complain about the $10 per night increase in cost, the money is being put to good use. A section that used to be primitive camping is in the process of having full hookups installed, and it looked like the work should be completed by winter. Other landscaping improvements were also noticed. The new full hookup section also features some river front sites, although they don't have overhanging decks as in the older section, and the sewer hookups are a more conventional style. Same decent spacing between sites as in the older section. When checked for this review, the restrooms and showers were clean but had not been remodeled. Note that the $48 per night is for a river front site with full hookups.

Excellent State Park camping experience. All sites spaced nicely with paved, mostly level, back-in spaces. The full hook-up section seems to have the most shade. Easy access to the lake with boat ramp for campers only and picnic area on the lake. Camp store, playground, and hiking trails. Price listed was for a full hook-up site on weekend rates. Prices lower on week days and for electric only sites.

Beautiful rolling hills and not very crowded in late September, possibly because the peak season was winding down, and possibly because this campground is a little off the beaten path. Typical Ohio State Park set-up with electric hookup and a relatively level paved parking pad, but other than the pad most sites have some slope to them. The ones with more severe slopes have nice wooden decks built to one side of the pad where the front door of most RV's will be located. Some sites have a partial lake view thru the trees, which will be even more impressive later in the Fall. Sites range from full sun to heavily wooded and everywhere in between, so there is something for everyone. Somewhat older shower and restroom facilities with coin laundry. We didn't use them, but when checked for this review they were clean and seemed to be in good working condition. Mini golf and some programs for kids are offered during the peak season. Close to the beach, boat ramps, and Seven Caves.

This is a four acre pay lake surrounded by campsites, right next to Route 32. The campsites are narrow, weed filled gravel strips. Barely room to open your awning if your neighbor has a slide-out. The pull-thru sites are on the north side of the lake and are the most popular. The back-in sites on the south side have little maneuvering room to get in, yet you are less likely to have next door neighbors so you'll have the illusion of a larger site and more privacy. Not all sites have fire rings and there are no shade trees worth mentioning. Road noise from the state highway tapers off a little bit at night, and roadside billboard lighting illuminates some of the back-in sites. Having said all of that, I would have given this campground a much lower rating if it were not for the excellent fishing, at extra cost, and other facilities. Bring some heavy tackle for the monster catfish, some of which are tagged for prizes. The grounds are clean, camp store is well stocked, and serves hot food. Surprisingly, they don't sell live bait. There is a fairly large playground with equipment in good condition. The pool is small but clean. Laundry facility was clean and everything seemed to be in working order. Restrooms okay, but mud in one of the shower stalls when I checked for this review. The campground also operates a petting zoo across the road, which is actually pretty large and has some exotic animals not found in the average petting zoo. Cost of admission is good for all day and also includes a ride on their little train and a round of mini golf. This place would be all right for an overnight stop, or a weekend trip for families or fishermen.

Very nice campground with paved interior roads and gravel parking pads. Electric hookups only, but there are a number of water faucets in good locations and a dump station. Most of the sites are wide, fairly level, and the number of shade trees varies from none to heavily wooded. The fire rings have a nice sturdy cooking grate built-in on one side. We didn't use the restrooms or showers, but when I checked for the purposes of this review the facilities were clean. There was only one private shower, which didn't have hooks or a bench in it's changing area. The other showers were an open locker room style, which I thought was unusual to see at a State Park. Attractions in the park include several waterfalls, plenty of hiking trails, and a nice pool.

A very nice place to stay. Reservations were handled with no problems and the staff was friendly. In the full hookup section the sites are mostly level gravel parking and patio areas, and sites are separated with a strip of grass. Compared to other campgrounds in the area, these sites seem to be a little bit wider. We had a river view site, which had a small wooden deck overlooking the river. Highway 73 is right across the river so there was some road noise, but after dark traffic is almost nonexistent. There are only a few pull thru sites and in my opinion they were not as nice as the others. As a previous review suggested, the location of the hookups on each site varies but if you bring long hoses and a 30 or 50 amp extension cord you should have no problems. Cable TV had roughly 90 channels with perfect reception. We did not use the rest rooms or showers, but when I checked for the purposes of this review they were clean and seemed to be in good order. In fact, it looks like some remodeling had been done in the past few years. This park is roughly 30 minutes from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, regardless of what route you take.

The previous review summed things up pretty well, however the system for reserving campsites in all Ohio State Parks has been completely overhauled. You can now reserve by phone or on-line, and only pay for the nights you will be staying there. This park is small and very popular. Perhaps half the sites had spaces that would only accommodate a small RV or work for tent camping. The shower house is an older building in the middle of the campground. It was clean and appeared to be in good working order. There are several other small restroom buildings scattered around and when I checked one for the purposes of this review it was clean, but had paint peeling everywhere inside. We were here in early April before the official season opened, and several improvement projects were under way so a fresh coat of paint is probably in the near future.
