Campgrounds near Ashland, KY and Portsmouth, OH

Ashland = Try Carter Caves State Resort Park

US 52 between Portsmouth, OH and Ashland, KY. runs west to east along the southern border of Wayne National Forest. They have a variety of camping options from boon docking to HUs. I've never been there, but then I live too close to it. :)

* Double post.

West of Portsmouth is Shawnee State Park. About a 15 minute drive from Portsmouth. Is a nice park and campground. Shawnee also has a nice inn with a nice resturant, and if you stay at the campground, you also have use of the pool at the inn. Be sure to eat at the Scioto Ribber in Portsmouth. Very good ribs and steaks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. We were wanting a little closer to Portsmouth than Shawnee since it is just an overnight stay. We've seen a Lazy Village listed some where and a River Front but never heard of either of them. Could be trailer parks with a few RV spots, I guess. If you know anything about these we would appreciate your input.. Thanks again!

National Forest Campground Lake Vesuvius, has electric and central water points. I prefer Iron Ridge , rather than the loop.
It near Ironton....

Between Wheelersburg and South Boston there is a small campground on the banks of the Ohio river. Can't remimber the name, might be the one you said. Mostly people who are fishing but might be ok for overnite. Also used to be a place west of Portsmouth on rte 52 near the Shawnee golf course that would probably be ok for overnite. Dont know of any others. Also a Walmart in New Boston if you like, a lot of people overnite there.
