RV Camping near Laurelville, Ohio

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground is a peaceful, wooded campground in the heart of Ohio's Hocking Hills. Guests can choose spacious RV sites with water and electric hookups, private tent sites, and comfortable cabins while staying close to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Conkle's Hollow, and more than 40 miles of bridle trails. The campground offers private bathrooms and hot showers, covered horse stalls, fire rings, picnic tables, a camp store, firewood, dump stations, and a quiet setting away from the busiest park areas.

Perry Backwoods Campgrounds

42 RV Sites

Perry Backwoods Campgrounds in New Lexington, Ohio, offers 21 RV sites on nine family-owned acres, with full-hookup back-in sites carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp service, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. The layout is big-rig friendly — unusual for a campground this size in the southeast Ohio hill country. Twenty-one sites run from full-hookup back-ins with 30 and 50-amp service to primitive RV sites for guests who need less. Rigs up to 60 feet fit, and a dump station serves those without full hookups. Restrooms and showers are on site. Pets are welcome. On-site facilities are straightforward. A playground serves families, and hiking runs from the property through the wooded Perry County hills. The nine-acre scale and family ownership mean guests deal directly with the operators, and the campground continues to add facilities. Off-roading areas are nearby for guests hauling ATVs. New Lexington sits on US-22 about 60 miles southeast of Columbus, in the reclaimed coal country that has grown back into some of the most rugged terrain in an otherwise glacially flattened state. Hocking Hills State Park, the AEP ReCreation Land, and the Wayne National Forest are all within day-trip range. The campground serves the southeast Ohio camping season, drawing from the Columbus and Athens markets. Fall color through October is the most scenic window, and summer weekends see the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for both.

Sparkman Lake

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Sparkman Lake in Woodsfield, Ohio, offers three full-hookup back-in RV sites and five cabins across more than 40 wooded acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec, with a private lake, walking trails, playground, and dog park. Three back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Five cabins round out the lodging. Showers and firewood handle the practical side. A private lake anchors the property for boating, paddle boats, and fishing, with walking trails, hiking, basketball, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Forty wooded acres and a private lake for three RV sites is an extraordinary ratio — guests essentially have the property to themselves, and the quiet is the product. Directions: the campground sits between Malaga and Miltonsburg directly off SR-145, 1.7 miles south of the SR-800 intersection in Malaga, and about ten minutes from Woodsfield. Monroe County is one of the quieter corners of southeastern Ohio's Appalachian foothills — forested ridges, old farm hollows, and unhurried rural character. Guests from Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Wheeling come for exactly that, with the Ohio River, Wayne National Forest, and Seneca Lake all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead — three sites go quickly.

Claremar Twin Lakes Camping Resort

51 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 5 Onsite RV/Trailers

Claremar Twin Lakes Camping Resort in New London, Ohio, offers 56 RV sites, five cabins, and 10 tent sites on twin lakes in Huron County, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Lakefront and interior categories join a playground-adjacent tier and a lakefront camper rental bunkhouse, with an inflatable water park, beach, hot tub, and food trucks. Fifty-six back-in sites span interior 20/30/50-amp with water, interior 20/30/50-amp with water beside the playground, and lakefront 20/30/50-amp categories, carrying water and electric, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Five cabins, 10 tent sites, and a lakefront camper rental bunkhouse sleeping four round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, propane fills and exchange, and firewood handle the practical side. Most amenities run daily in season; the inflatable water park and food trucks are typically weekends and holidays. An outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, and beach anchor the summer, with the lakes supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and snorkeling. Sports courts, basketball, volleyball, golf cart rentals, a playground, dog park, and picnicking fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. The address is 47675 New London Eastern Road, and the resort has served camping families for more than 43 years. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

Camper Village RV Park

8 RV Sites

Camper Village RV Park in Dry Ridge, KY, offers 8 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet.

A state park is nearby. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Eight sites on a lake this close to Cincinnati means summer books first.

Winona Lake Campground

27 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Winona Lake Campground in Lima, Ohio, offers 27 full-hookup back-in RV sites and seven tent sites on a private lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Standard and back-in categories join mini-golf, sports courts, and inflatable water toys in Allen County's agricultural west-central Ohio. Twenty-seven back-in sites run in back-in and standard back-in categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A private lake anchors the property for swimming and fishing, with a pond, mini-golf, sports courts, tennis, basketball, and inflatable water toys filling the rest. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which keeps rates accessible for a family campground built around the water. Pets are welcome. A private lake at a park this size is the real asset — 27 RV sites sharing a lake means it never feels crowded, and the swimming and fishing stay genuinely usable through a summer weekend in a way that larger properties struggle to match. Lima sits in the flat, productive farm country of west-central Ohio, roughly midway between Dayton and Toledo on I-75. The Allen County Museum, the Lima Symphony, and the Ottawa River corridor are close, with Grand Lake St. Marys and Indian Lake within a short drive for larger-water recreation. Summer is decisively the season in Ohio, when the lake and the water toys are running. Reserve ahead for June through August weekends, with quiet availability through the spring and fall shoulders.

Rossburg Acres Campground

24 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites

Rossburg Acres Campground in Rossburg, OH, offers 24 RV sites and 12 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. At 70 feet the sites take a long rig. A bathhouse with showers and a playground are on the property, and pets are welcome. The recreation punches well above 24 sites: mini-golf, a beach, a pond, sport courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, swimming, fishing, biking, and planned activities through the season. Rossburg sits in the quiet farmland of Darke County in western Ohio, roughly equidistant between Dayton and Fort Recovery. The campground has been family-owned since 2003 and runs on the tagline "Where Friends and Memories Are Made." Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends and event weeks book first.

Bear Mountain Cabins & Campgrounds

32 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Bear Mountain Cabins and Campgrounds in Fayetteville, West Virginia, offers 32 RV sites and 10 tent sites one mile from the New River Gorge, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join a general store, playground, and laundry. Thirty-two sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get. Seventy-five feet is generous for gorge-country terrain and accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A playground, volleyball, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which is right for a property whose guests are here for the gorge. Pets are welcome. The address is 130 Laurel Creek Road, one mile from the New River Gorge and three or four minutes from downtown Fayetteville. The gorge became America's newest national park in 2020, and the whitewater rafting, world-class climbing, and the single-span New River Gorge Bridge are all right there. Bridge Day in October draws BASE jumpers and enormous crowds. Summer rafting season and October foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead, particularly for Bridge Day.

Ray's Campground

4 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites

Ray's Campground in Hico, West Virginia, offers four RV sites with 30-amp electric service, nine cabins, and 20 tent sites at the center of the New River Gorge region, with rigs accepted to 40 feet. The accommodation mix across RV, cabin, and tent is the point — flexible lodging in one of the East's most concentrated adventure destinations. Four back-in sites carry 30-amp electric only, sized to 40 feet — note there are no water or sewer hookups at the sites, so arrive self-contained and plan tank capacity. Nine cabins carry most of the inventory and provide enclosed lodging, and 20 tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two vehicles are allowed per site, with an extra vehicle fee of $5 per night on arrival. Pets are welcome. The campground keeps its infrastructure deliberately simple, which suits guests who spend their days on the river and the rock. The surrounding gorge does the work. Hico sits in Fayette County in southern West Virginia, where the New River has carved one of the oldest and most dramatic gorges in the Appalachians over hundreds of millions of years. World-class whitewater rafting runs beside world-class rock climbing terrain, and the scale of the gorge itself earned the region national park designation in 2020. River outfitters, climbing access, and Fayetteville are all close. The campground serves the New River Gorge season. Summer whitewater and October foliage drive the heaviest demand, and Bridge Day in October fills lodging across the entire region. Reserve well ahead for any fall weekend.

Wood Mountain Campground

6 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Wood Mountain Campground in Glen Jean, West Virginia, offers six full-hookup RV sites, 16 tent sites, and four glamping sites on a hilltop directly off Highway 19, at the heart of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Sites carry 30 and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 35 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Six sites run in standard and premium full-hookup configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 35 feet — note the 35-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Sixteen tent sites and four glamping sites round out the accommodations, alongside two-bedroom cabins with fully equipped kitchens and large covered porches. Restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hilltop position gives views across the surrounding forested ridgelines, and a disc golf course, barn, pavilion, corn hole, and picnicking areas fill the grounds. The operators put it plainly: this is West Virginia, where there are more trees than people, and guests who want to keep to themselves are as welcome as those who want to chat. Pets are welcome. Glen Jean sits directly across from both the Summit Bechtel Reserve — one of the largest scouting and outdoor education facilities in the world — and the national park's administrative hub, which puts this about as close to the action as any private property in the gorge. River outfitters and the town of Fayetteville are a short drive, and a creek and mountain terrain surround the property. Summer whitewater season and October foliage drive demand in the gorge. With six RV sites, reserve as early as you can.
