Looking for campground on Mohican River, Loudonville, OH

Hi all,

We are planning on going down the Mohican river around the 4th of July. We have done this in the past, but not stayed the night.

Any recommendation on where to camp (or where not to camp).

We have a pop-up and would like 30 amp service.

It seems some of the campgrounds on the river do not have showers. We want showers.

Thanks

  • We just got back from Whispering Hills. While it is not in Loudenville or on the river it is in the general area just south of Shreve. It took us around 20 minutes to drive to Mohican Adventures for a canoe rental. The campground was very nice. If you need full hookups ask for a grass site as they are much larger.
  • Also on this forum, check out the postings under "Rallies, Shows, and Gatherings", and click on the "Mohican Rally, August 2-4, 2013". This is the Ohio Rally Group's annual gathering at one of the private CGs along the river. I'm sure any of these fine members could give more info on their personal favorite CGs found throughout this popular area.
  • We've stayed at Mohican Adventures, just up the road from Mohican SP. A short walk across the highway puts you at their canoe/kayak livery, arrangements can easily be made at the CG office. Facilities also include putt-putt golf and a go-cart track. A zip line is located nearby.

    Do a search, Google, Bing, Woodall's, etc. for the Loudenville / Mohican area for other facilities. Several other private CGs are located on the "Wally Road" paralleling the river, most with their own canoe/kayak livery. Some are nicer than others, but all are very adequate. Most do not offer sewer hook-ups, due to the close proximity to the water table of the river ecosystem. One CG even hosts a Native American Pow Wow in the summer. Be forewarned, the further you drive on this road, the more narrow and dusty it becomes. Mohican Adventures is perhaps the easiest to find, right off the main highway.
  • Mohican state park is one of the best in the area, and possibly even the whole state but your way too late, that place books up very fast, need to reserve 6 months in advance especially for holiday weekends.
  • might check out pleasent hill lake I think theres a state CG there , not to far from loundenville
