Hidden Lakes Family Campground

28 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Hidden Lakes Family Campground in Montville, OH, offers 28 RV sites and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service. Sites come in five categories — back-in 30-amp, back-in 50/30-amp, lakeside back-in 50/30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50/30-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. Maximum rig length isn't reliably published, so call with your dimensions before booking. The campground is gated, with a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and a recreation center. Check-in runs 2pm to 6pm with a noon checkout, and late arrivals can't always be accommodated and may incur an additional fee. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a beach, a pavilion, a playground, basketball, horseshoes, and natural lakes fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, stargazing, and themed event weekends through the season. Montville sits in Geauga County between Ohio's Lake Erie wine country and the outer suburbs of Cleveland. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Note the check-in window before you plan a long driving day.

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.

Nature's Getaway RV Park

30 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Nature's Getaway RV Park in Schellsburg, Pennsylvania, offers 30 RV sites and three tent sites seven miles west of Bedford on Route 30, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in categories at both amperages join a 30-amp pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, game room, ball field, and general store. Thirty sites span back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, and pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Three tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, arcade, ball field, billiards, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and swimming filling the rest. A state park is nearby, and the dark rural sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Bedford County sits where the Allegheny Mountain ridges meet Shawnee State Park's forested plateau, and the old Lincoln Highway corridor has carried travelers past this spot since the road was built. Historic Bedford's preserved downtown, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and Blue Knob's skiing are all within reach, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike close. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Alleghenies. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and peak October color.

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.

Momma Tried RV & Campground

38 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Momma Tried RV and Campground in Cabins, West Virginia, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites and two tent sites in the forested mountains of the eastern highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, open all year. A single full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with sports courts, walking trails, a playground, and dog park on a mountain stream. Thirty-eight sites are full hookup throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to note: service is 50-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and 70 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for mountain terrain. Two tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms handle the practical side. A river runs the property for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Mountains rise nearby. Pets are welcome. The community of Cabins is a name that captures the character exactly. This corner of eastern West Virginia is among the wildest and least developed country in the eastern United States — hardwood hollows, cold mountain streams, and the Monongahela National Forest's high country. Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods Wilderness, Smoke Hole Canyon, and Spruce Knob, the highest point in the state, are all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Potomac Highlands, with year-round operation serving hunters and winter travelers. Reserve well ahead for October.

Route 6 Campground

Route 6 Campground in Gaines, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, and tent spaces along a peaceful pond on the historic Route 6 corridor in Tioga County. A general store, boutique shop, on-site dining, and a pavilion serve guests exploring the Pennsylvania Wilds. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on well-maintained grounds, with cabin rentals and tent spaces rounding out the accommodations. A general store, boutique shop, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and on-site dining for meals. Pets are welcome. The pond anchors the setting, with fishing from the water and walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and a pavilion across the grounds. A golf course and state park are nearby. The property is deliberately unhurried, which suits the corridor it sits on. Pennsylvania Route 6 is often called the Grand Army of the Republic Highway and is recognized as one of the state's most scenic byways, running through a landscape of ridges, valleys, and the deeply forested terrain of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon — the Pine Creek Gorge — is the region's headline attraction, with state forest wilderness and genuinely unspoiled rural country throughout. The campground serves the northern tier season. Summer hiking and paddling on Pine Creek and October foliage in the Wilds drive the heaviest demand, with the Grand Canyon overlooks drawing visitors from across the Northeast in fall. Reserve well ahead for foliage weekends.

Grand Canyon Motel Resort & Campground

10 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Grand Canyon Motel Resort and Campground in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites and five tent sites one mile from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. A single water-electric-sewer back-in category joins a hot tub, sauna, on-site dining, arcade, and billiards. Ten back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent category and no guesswork; note the 40-foot cap before bringing a larger rig. Five tent sites and motel rooms round out the lodging, which gives groups a genuine mix of options. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. A hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with an arcade, billiards, and shuffleboard filling the rest. Pets are welcome. One mile from the canyon rim is the entire proposition and no other property matches it. Pine Creek Gorge runs about 47 miles through the Tioga State Forest with walls dropping roughly 1,450 feet, and Leonard Harrison State Park's overlook — the classic viewpoint — is right there. The Pine Creek Rail Trail runs 62 miles along the gorge floor and is one of the best rail-trails in the country for cycling, with outfitters in Wellsboro running shuttles and rentals. Whitewater season on Pine Creek is short and comes in spring. Wellsboro itself is worth the stop, with gas-lit streets and a preserved downtown. Fall foliage is the peak here and fills the area — the gorge in October is genuinely spectacular. Reserve well ahead for September and October, and for summer weekends.

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.
