We have been to Scenic Hills. It is just across the street from Troyer's Market and down the hill. If you go there you might want to get a spot in the bottom rather than on the top side. Topside is mostly gravel. They have full hookups. There is a brand new one on the west side of Berlin (out 39) but we have not been there. If you have not ever been to Holmes County Amish area there is a lot to see just driving around. YOu might take in Lehman's Hardware in Kidron. They have a big flea market and auction on Thursdays. Boyd and Wurthman's restaurant in Berlin is good. Miller's in Mt. Hope is great for Broasted Chicken. Berlin has Heini's Cheese Factory and then east on 39 in Walnut Creek is Walnut Creek Cheese and Bulk Food.
Charm is also a nice small town to visit. Just west out of Charm is Miller's Bakery a must stop place. On farther is Hershberger's which also has bakedgoods, cheese, and another building with things to purchase along with some animals including goats that walk around on the roof. All around a fun area. We go there 3-4 times a year.
Good Luck and Happy Camping.
...and don't forget Mrs. Yodder's Kitchen in Mt. Hope also for broasted chicken. We just came back from a week in Holmes County area and there is a lot to see, but it is SO commercial now in Berlin with big rigs flying along the 2 lane roads at top speeds. I felt so sorry for the buggies. LOTS of touristy places on the main road through Berlin also so you have to pay attention to what you are looking at. Lots of stuff NOT from Amish country. All the "side roads" through the country side are much better for seeing actual Amish country. Also, don't miss
http://www.behalt.com/about.html Very fun and informative information about all the various sects throughout history. The mural is astonishing! We didn't get to camp there though and stayed at a B&B in Millersburg that was quite nice. Always best to respectively ask locals where to go to get away from the tourist traps.
Have fun! :)
