Best places to camp in Ohio? (State Parks)?

Andrew L

I am planning on going camping in October with 3 other people on a weekend, so I'd like to find a place in Ohio so it won't be too far off (I live near Columbus).

I'd like to find a place with cool trails that offers (preferably) non-electric tent camping sites. I don't want RV camping or places that are too man-made.

I camped at Hocking Hills State Park and loved it, so something similar to that (but NOT that - we want to find a new area) would be cool.
Also, any good parks that are close to Ohio in bordering states would be good. michigan, indiana, west virginia, kentucky, whatever

Answer
Walk About Campgrounds south of Zanesville Ohio were a Great place for us to camp . Our teen grandson loved it and we had a great time too. We rented a cabin and there are trails and lots of scenery and no one near the two cabins.

are there any secluded places to camp in ohio?

amos

is there a place in ohio that is not run by a campground, just a place you could go and camp in the wilderness next to some river or lake with pristine beauty, preferably in the north half of ohio or in western PA, please give me an address and directions from cleveland ohio and if possible, a picture if you know of a place that is very secluded and beautiful to camp at.

Answer
If you go to the Allegheny Trail in Pennsylvania you can camp outside, although it is really the wilderness...there is a place called the Tanbark Trail...however the whole trail runs from the southern states up into New York state...it is a well-traveled area, and if you find a map you will probably be able to track it easily...mountains, hills, boulders, lakes, sometimes cabins, lean-tos, etc...bring your gear! If I remember it runs somewhat through the central part of Penn...wish I could tell more! Have Fun!!!

Where can I get fingerprinted cheap or free?

TKE025

I need to be fingerprinted to work in a summer camp. The place I called told me that anywhere would cost about $50, which I can't afford. I live in NE Ohio. Does anyone have suggestions?

Answer
Try contacting your local police department/sheriff's office. They frequently hold events for parents to fingerprint their children, and they also do it if a person needs to submit fingerprints for a professional (i.e., law) license. Chances are they would charge a nominal (less than $10) fee, if any.

are there any places to canoe in ohio where alchohol is permitted?

Jenn

im in the dayton area and i was wondering if there were any places to rent canoes that permit you to drink.....i knew there used to be but it seems like everyone i go to its prohibited!

Answer
If you go to the Mohican river up in North Eastern Ohio i know you can. I remember when my family use to go canoeing up there there were always people in rafts and canoes that were drinking and having good times.

i don't know if it is really permitted but is is always going on and it is not patrolled. there are camp grounds all along the river so people just leave their campers and get in the canoes

What are some cool places to visit in or around Ohio?

Katlyn

I'm turning 18 on March 31 (oh yea;D) and my parents took off work that whole week (March 31-April 7). They told me to pick somewhere, anywhere, and we'll go. I need some ideas of what we can do. I'm open to any suggestions: anywhere as far south as Tennessee/North Carolina, as west as Illinois, and as east as New York. Please no amusement parks (my parents) and no camping places (we do that all the time already).
i live in the cleveland area so most places around here ive been multiple times

How do I find a place to set up a tent for a wedding reception?

Katie L

I don't even know where to begin looking for an area that I could put a large tent on for my wedding reception. Golf courses? Beaches?? I live in Northeast Ohio about a half hour east of Cleveland if that is helpful...Thank you!

Answer
You have the right idea. :D

Seriously, check out golf courses and public beaches. You can also look into local parks, or camp grounds.

Most public places will require a permit (they don't usually cost much) and require you to get an liquor license for the event if you plan on having alcohol. But then the rest is up to you.

If you decide on a golf course, hotel, or other wedding location that provides wedding services they may not let you bring in any outside foods or drinks (meaning u have to pay THEIR caterer, and THEIR bartender yuk). So make sure you ask those questions when calling around.

Good luck!
