campground recommendation: Columbus, OH

Hello all...thanks so far for your help (I've got some great places thanks you all for my trip already!)

Anybody have a recommendation for campground in Columbus, OH? (It's a good rest point between Nashville and Rochester in terms of time on the road and my mother's sanity :)

Thanks in advance!

    Delaware State Park is quieter than Alum Creek and relatively close by. Cardinal Campground is right next to I71 and a skeet shooting range so beware. There's a Yogi Bear park in Mount Gilead, but I've never been there.


    Delaware State Park is a very nice park! I should have included it in my post.

  • we stayed at Alum Creek and it was very nice.
  • One of our favorites is Cross Creek Camping Resort in Delaware, OH. It is across the street from Alum Creek State Park is another possibility.
