- Itching2goExplorer IIAssuming the Amish area you are considering is Holmes County, we have stayed a couple of times at Whispering Hills RV Park just south of Shreve. While there are other places that are closer to the center of the county, Whispering Hills is a much nicer setting than the open parking lots we've seen elsewhere. IMHO
- rbtgloveExplorerSalt Fork State Park is really nice and has full hook ups. Big park with lodge, golf course, marina, swimming and some other attractions. Many sites for bigger rigs. It's a litlle south of some of the Amish places but also fairly close to Zanesville. Everything within an hour drive or so.

My son and wife and us want to go to the Ohio Amish area for the week of August 16th through 23rd. We both have 36' motor homes. Any recommendations for a campground with full hookups?
If you don't find anywhere you could always come to Ontario..Waterloo County. We have a very large Mennonite and Amish community as well as good camping places. - Reader1ExplorerSalt Fork has "some" full hook-ups, but they fill up fast on weekends in the summer. It is about 30-40 miles from Amish Country but if you want a wonderful State Park, Salt Fork is all that.
- novi2someExplorerThanks. What about Scenic Hills or Evergreen?
- Phil___StephieExplorerScenic Hills in Berlin, OH.
- novi2someExplorerYes. In Berlin.
- tracyb-ohExplorerYou want Evergreen RV park without question. The sites will take your 36' units easily. Both the pull thrus and the back ins. The bathhouse is spectacular. The indoor pool is large and has a very nice whirlpool. It is minutes away from Berlin, Walnut Creek, Sugarcreek, Millersburg, Eaton and Mt Hope. We stay there a couple times a year and love it.
- Francesca_KnowlExplorer"Full hookups" in Amish country just seems somehow wrong...:W
- WeeluvdisExplorerWe have been to Evergreen about 4 times. It is about a 15-20 minute drive to the heart of Amish Country in Berlin, Ohio.
The office and shower house are beautiful log cabin buildings. They have a laundromat. The entire place is asphalt so no worries if it rains. It is all open like a parking lot but if you are there for the area it is a great place. It is family oriented and quiet during quiet hours. There is a pool and hot tub and all area's are pristinely clean. We just camped there this past weekend and the current rate for full hookups is $52.50 and that includes cable. The best sites in my opinion are across the back in the 40's. They back up to a huge meadow and in the summer an Amish man gives rides around the meadow in a covered wagon pulled by big draft horses. Sites 16 and 17 are also pretty spacious for this park.
As was previously mentioned Whispering Hills is more campground like with some mature tree's and it's a much bigger campground. There are also probably more things to do at Whispering Hills especially if someone is traveling with children but it is also a little further from the action and my son prefers the asphalt for scooter and bike riding and all season swimming in the pool at Evergreen. They are very different but you can't grow wrong with either one.
I haven't stayed at Scenic Hills but we toured it. It is a mature park with not many amentities. Probably more for the person that is really only staying there for the tourist area. There is a new park called Berlin RV park on Rt 39. I have toured that also. It is small but nice with clean shower house and restrooms.
Not many amentities from what I could tell. The only park in the area that I didn't care for at all was Kandel's in Walnut Creek. Didn't stay but toured it and it was not appealing to me at all. Hope this helps.
