Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground

13 RV Sites, 22 Tent Sites

Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground in Laurelville, OH, offers RV sites with water and electric hookups, private tent sites, and cabins, with room for rigs up to 60 feet. Contact the campground for site count and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. Several policies are worth knowing before you book: one vehicle per site, with additional vehicles and trailers directed to overflow parking; RV sites hold up to six guests and tent sites up to four. Guests bringing horses must reserve the right number of stalls and bring their own horse-care tools and bedding — and straw bedding is not permitted. A bathhouse with private bathrooms and hot showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, fire rings, and picnic tables cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Covered horse stalls and walking trails put this campground squarely in the equestrian category, with more than 40 miles of bridle trails reachable from the property. Download the bridle trail map before you arrive — cell service drops out on the trails. Laurelville sits in the heart of Ohio's Hocking Hills, close to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and Conkle's Hollow, but deliberately away from the busiest park areas. Rates for sites, tent spots, and cabins are on the booking page. Reserve stalls alongside your site if you're bringing horses.

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.

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. Sites come in four categories — deluxe back-in, deluxe lakeview back-in, lakeview back-in, and deluxe pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Lakeview sites are the ones to request. The park is open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a clubhouse. Cabins each sleep four. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, boat docks, a boat ramp, and boat and kayak rentals fill 20 acres on the water, with fishing, boating, paddling, paddle boats, paddle boarding, and swimming, plus a playground. Dry Ridge sits on Boltz Lake in Grant County, about 45 minutes south of downtown Cincinnati and 10 minutes from the Ark Encounter, in country that feels genuinely rural despite easy highway access. 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.

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.

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.

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.

from $45/night

Rustling Pines Campground

16 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Rustling Pines Campground in London, KY, offers 16 RV sites and 1 tent site, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come in two categories, full-hookup and electric-only, with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit, in back-in and pull-thru layouts. The campground is rated big rig friendly, and at 80 feet it takes the longest coaches. A general store, firewood, and a bathhouse cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. The trails are the differentiator: four miles of clearly marked riding and hiking trails on the property itself, suitable for all abilities, with longer routes running out from there. Creek frontage and walking trails fill the rest of the 40 acres. London sits in Laurel County adjacent to the Daniel Boone National Forest, in southeastern Kentucky's Lake Cumberland region — a practical base for the forest, the reservoir, and the waterfall country around it. A state park and a lake are nearby. Rates for full-hookup and electric-only sites are on the booking page. Trail-riding weekends fill the campground.

from $14/night

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.

Camp Holly

8 RV Sites

Camp Holly in Diana, West Virginia, offers eight full-hookup RV sites across a 22-acre mountain property in Webster County, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 36 feet. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping join a pond, playground, and general store in the state's most rugged interior. Eight back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 36 feet, with site WiFi. Note the 36-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two useful tips from the operators: buy fishing passes when you book your campsite for a discounted rate, and add a jumbo firewood square at booking and they will deliver it to your site. Pets are welcome. A pond anchors the on-site recreation with fishing, swimming, paddle boats, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A community fire pit, playground, hiking, and biking fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Diana sits on WV-20 in the heartland of the Mountain State's most remote interior. The Cranberry Wilderness, the Gauley River National Recreation Area, and the Williams River's wild brook trout stream give this the most complete wilderness and outdoor adventure access of any campground in central West Virginia's Chestnut Ridge and Back Allegheny country. Summer water recreation and October foliage drive demand. With eight RV sites, reserve well ahead.

Cabins By The Creek

4 RV Sites

Cabins By The Creek in Pipestem, West Virginia, offers four RV spots along Pipestem Creek, with sites named individually — RV Spot by the Creek numbers one through four, three of them designated full hookup. Cabin rentals round out a compact property in the rugged Appalachian terrain of Summers County. Four sites are named individually rather than pooled into categories, with three flagged as full hookup. Contact the property directly to confirm amp service, length limits, and hookups for your rig before booking — the site records are incomplete, and at a property this small a phone call gets you a straight answer faster than any listing. Cabin rentals round out the lodging. Pets are welcome. The amenity set is deliberately minimal, and that is the entire proposition. Pipestem Creek runs alongside the sites, and the water's constant murmur is the sound of the place — something no campground sound machine reproduces and something you cannot get at a property with a water park. Summers County sits in southern West Virginia's genuinely rugged country. Pipestem Resort State Park is minutes away and is one of the finest in the state system — an aerial tramway down into the Bluestone Gorge, two golf courses, an amphitheater, and miles of trail. The Bluestone National Scenic River and the New River Gorge National Park are both within reach, with the New River's whitewater and world-class climbing about 45 minutes north. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in southern West Virginia, with October color drawing crowds to the gorge country. Reserve well ahead, and call to confirm site details.

Escape With Us RV Resort

26 RV Sites

Escape With Us RV Resort in Somerset, Kentucky, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites in the Lake Cumberland corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A premium pull-through category with a private deck joins premium and standard back-in tiers, with a dog park, playground, boat storage, and food trucks. Twenty-six sites span back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru with deck categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits. The pull-through with a private deck is a genuine find — outdoor living space built into the site rather than something you set up yourself. A laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, boat storage, and food trucks handle the practical side. A dog park, playground, and inflatable water toys fill the grounds. The amenity set is deliberately focused, and the thoughtful details — the deck, the boat storage, the food trucks — are what distinguish this from the region's more functional waterfront parks. Pets are welcome. Pulaski County sits on Lake Cumberland, one of the largest reservoirs east of the Mississippi with more than 1,200 miles of shoreline and a houseboating culture that defines the region. The striped bass fishery is among the best in the country, Cumberland Falls — the only regularly occurring moonbow in the Western Hemisphere — is close, and the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounds much of the area. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand on Lake Cumberland and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with the spring and fall striper runs offering easier availability.

Little Patch of Heaven

33 RV Sites

Little Patch of Heaven in Bardstown, Kentucky, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront category joins deluxe back-in and pull-through tiers, with a storm shelter, pond, barn, and walking trails. Thirty-three sites span 30/50-amp deluxe back-in, 30/50-amp deluxe pull-through, 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront, and 30-amp deluxe pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits. Accessible sites are available, and the waterfront tier is the one to request. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Two winter notes worth planning around: the bath house closes October 16 through April 1, and grey and black tanks should be discharged only at the designated site sewer drop or the dump station. The storm shelter is a genuine safety feature in Kentucky. A pond supports fishing, with a barn, walking trails, hiking, community fire pit, dog park, corn hole, and picnicking filling the grounds. A lake, golf course, state park, and boating are nearby. Pets are welcome. Bardstown calls itself the Bourbon Capital of the World and has the distilleries to back it — Heaven Hill, Willett, Barton 1792, and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail all run through, with My Old Kentucky Home State Park in town. Fall bourbon season and spring drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for September and October.
