Nice, clean smaller campground in edge of the Theater District. They have a whole system of getting you checked in quickly and with everything you need.

Stayed here while I fished and visited the sites. Newly paved roads in the area, finished while I was here. Saw an owl fly across the road on the way in! Beware of copperheads. Saw one dead and one of those also crossed the road in front of me not far from the campground.

Water spirits are a bit odd. Otherwise the site was roomy, fairly level, and nice.

Cell service was good enough for me to work on AT&T. Also streamed a movie at night on Verizon.

Stayed here to drive 66 to Oklahoma City and to Tulsa plus a down day for laundry and local sites. Only a few campers at this time of year. Site was level, roomy, and right near the lake.

Just don't miss the turn to the road to the lake if you're in a big rig. I did and it was a little sketchy finding wide enough areas to turn to get myself back on track!

Stayed here a few days while visiting my daughter at Miami U. Only one loop has water and in that loop it looked like only the middle 10 or so sites were reasonably level. Others would require a fair amount of leveling. A&B loops looked like the only ones to get decent sized camper in. The rest of the loops were seriously out of level and very small. Looked like an old tent campground they started to put bigger sites and amenities in. They did have brand new wifi that was giving about 20MB download. Only about 30 campers there though.

Nice trails, lake, and camp spots were recently paved.

Fair warning, if you go there at night, the campground is immediately on your right NOT inside the park gates. The campground sign is woefully small and not lit at night so as I pulled off the road trying to locate signs and seeing gate half closed I missed the campground sign. Assumed it was in the park somewhere and was one of those places that close the gate at night on campers (which is crazy to me). Instead I drove into the park, using the GPS coordinates on this Campendium Entry which took me to the golf course parking lot where I had to unhook my jeep to be able to turn around. So I just drove around until I found my error.

The noise subsides at night but it's legit 4 lane highway noise ALL DAY LONG. I was sight seeing and gone most of the time, but I wouldn't pick this place as a family vacation to hang out at the campground. But I wouldn't take away rating for it, just depends on what you're camping for. It was fine for me.

I made a last minute reservation here on Halloween weekend. Must be one of the few campgrounds that doesn't have trick or treat! It was a rainy night, but my site was fairly level and I was pleasantly surprised by the campground the next morning. Lake, movie screen, plenty of sites. Cell service was good for both AT&T and Verizon. I was getting over 20MB down on AT&T when I was watching the Bukeyes game.

The park I had planned to stay in had closed for the season (even after I spoke with them 2 weeks earlier about the date I was coming) so this was my second option. It was very cold for 2 nights here, low 20s, but water was on to fill my tanks, electric worked fine, and only a couple other campers in and out at this time a year.

Great place to base out of to visit Route 66 and the area. Baxter Springs is a great little town and a great local museum. Top notch for such a small town.

Site 22 was right under one of the light poles so was nice with so few other campers while I was there.

Also right on a beautiful river with a low head dam in view.

I stayed here 3 nights and worked each day from my truck camper. I drove the campground and found this site to have the best signal for both AT&T and Verizon. Facilities were a little dated and the dump station was closed (not sure why) but it was mid October.

If you book online beware of the season. I booked a site and bought a tram ticket only to find that the tram wasn't running that day (they let me use it the next day but wasn't really in my plans)

In an era where it seems like campsites are getting over commercialized and being gobbled up by corporations to jack up the rates and maximize profit, this campground is an old school breath of fresh air.

Basic, level sites with electric. Water available to fill up. Bathrooms were fairly new and in good shape. Located right on the Hocking River.

The entrance in a big rig might be a little tricky. I was in my truck camper so no trouble.

I'll definitely be back when I visit my daughter at school nearby.

Stayed here Sun-Thur and worked from the RV so needed cell service which was good for Verizon and passable for AT&T. Close access to stores in Slade, RRG access through Nada tunnel, Natural Bridge, and also to get on the DBBB. Hard 1 was only about 10 minutes from this campground.

Booked this site online on my way there. Only thing I'd suggest to improve is to give out the wifi password with the reservation somehow so I could have tried it out. The store was closed a few times I went to go find out. Minor issue though, park was overall great.

Also looks like they are continuing to expand to. A shower house or bathroom or something was under construction while I was there.
