“scenic woodlands & cool, clean waters”

The rugged hills of southeastern Ohio provide the setting for Wolf Run State Park. 1,046 acres of scenic woodlands and cool, clean waters of the park offer visitors a quiet retreat in this remote area of the state. Wolf Run State Park is located near the town of Caldwell in Noble County, the last of the 88 counties formed within Ohio. In 1795, the Treaty of Greenville was signed ending the Indian threat in this part of Ohio paving the way for settlement. The first settlers to the area were New Englanders traveling by way of Marietta, Ohio up the valley of Duck Creek from the Ohio River into what is now Noble County.

This State Park is pretty and quiet. Not many campers this time of year (Oct). Clean showers, but vault toilets only (although they appear new). Dump station and potable water on site. Nice playground. Saw 2 deer roaming close to our campsite. The only con would be if you have a larger rig, the walk up elec sites are not very accommodating. Our rig is only 28ft and we had to go outside of walk up sites to find one suitable. Not a problem this time of year, but may be during the summer when campground is more crowded.

Threw up a couple of hammocks and enjoyed the company of a raccoon watching us from his tree perch. Only had one neighbor a few spots down from us. A chill in the air kept the bugs away and we slept under the stars. Earplugs reduced the road noise. All in all, I'll stay here again.

We camped overnight here in March on our way to Alabama. Only one loop was open and it was just me and a Class A that pulled in not long after me. We walked around the park and probably only 10% of the sites are even close to level and most of them seem pretty small. There are alot of facilities scattered throughout the park but only the pit toilets were open when we were there and they were clean.

We use Wolf Run as it is a close meeting spot for family get-togethers. This is the primary reason we keep visiting here. It is close to the freeway so we hear some road noise but its not bad. There is a reservoir close by that you can fish, swim, boat in. The camp sites here were laid out long ago and some can be extremely tricky to get into with a travel trailer. We have camped here in March, May, June, and September. We use this sometimes as an overnight stop while traveling and it works great for that. This isn't so great for spending a lot of time at. Wolf Run has a lot of potential, but the State of Ohio doesn't put any money into it.

The worst park of Wolf Run is the pit toilets. There is no flush toilets on property. They have shower houses that remind me of the open showers in high school. No WIFI, but my Verizon 4G worked great.

The lake here was very pretty and there are tons of campsites. The pit toilets were pretty gross, though. Many of the electric sites were very unlevel, but it worked for an overnight.

Wolf Run St Pk has very shallow open unlevel sites, no privacy. Sites were clean. Cherry Trail was nice. Other trails were overgrown and ended abruptly, encountered ticks in the high grasses on the unmaintained lake trail. The outhouses are the worst I've seen in 50+ years of camping. No lids on toilets, no doors to outhouse & there seems to be absolutely no treatment of excrement in pits, therefore flies & bugs are unbearable. The smell extends far into the campground. Horrendous! There is a port-a-potty at the picnic ground that is a highly recommended alternative and well worth the drive.The Ohio State Parks pamphlet & Wolf Creek pamphlet indicate a Nature Center. I asked the woman in the park entrance booth & she said it was a brown building just up the road. When I told her I looked but couldn't locate it, she then offered up that it is no longer open. I found the broken down building that was a bit larger than an outhouse, a disappointment as I go to parks with nature centers for my grand kids. When reserving a site on Reserve America there were many sites with no pictures or specs on shade & site length. That should have been a red flag. I gave a 2-star rating only because the lake is beautiful & I imagine excellent for boaters. I would not return to this campground.

My camping spot was a tight fit for my camper. The asphalt was pretty shot and not a flat piece of ground was to be had. Stepping from the camper steps to the ground was a bit risky as there wasn’t a flat area to land you foot.
The fire pit/ ring was in decent shape but a misplaced piece of firewood would roll down the hill into the neighbors’ campsite.
The picnic table was adequate however has seen several seasons.
The campground is small and yeah I’d say cozy. The neighbors were polite. The nights were pretty quiet. Overall not a bad campground but not exactly a destination resort. One dumping station. Fresh drinking water can be obtained from the dumping area as well. Overall pretty clean however probably could stand to be updated.
The beach was small and in pretty good shape.
I’ve camped here many times throughout the years. Usually once or twice a year. Not really a place that lends itself to larger rigs however there are a few spots that one can fit. Oh yeah, some of the loops at the end of the roads are tricky to maneuver around with a larger rig.

We are tent campers, so we were in the tent only area. Beautiful sunset views looking over the lake. The 3 tent sites are spacious and used to be 5 sites, I think, but it works out much better as 3; would be great for a group.

The toilets are pit toilets yes, but we stayed over Labor Day 2020 weekend and they were not bad - they were sanitized daily.

Decent privacy for site 56, but the trail to the water skirts the site, so we had lots of people walk by, but most people were great walking by, no real issues.

Showers were adequate water pressure, plenty of hot water. However the changing area is one large communal changing space, so not private

Verizon service was 4 bars, but at night when everyone was sucking up the cell service, we lost connection.

Definitely close to 77 so we heard cars all night long but it was far enough into the distance it wasn’t too bad.

Overall, I found the campground to be extremely mediocre. It wasn’t packed, and there was plenty of room between sites, which was a plus. Each site also had a fire ring (some in better condition than others) and a picnic table. However, the pit toilets were disgusting, there was interstate noise, and I happened to be near enough to a group of individuals who drank, blasted music, and yelled until 2 am. Further, the lakeside trail is not maintained and there aren’t any trail markers, so getting to the lake overlook is kind of based on your best guess when coming to a fork. (The map shows it as a single, simple, one-direction trail.)

I would consider staying again, but only because of accessibility and the state park’s customer service upon requesting a different site.

Campground was pretty empty, no problem changing sites. It rained all day, so we didn't get to the lake, just walked the dogs around the campground. The sites are adequately spaced. The pit toilets were clean, very basic. There was definitely noise from the interstate, but we stopped here because it was convenient.
