Our visit to Salt Fork State Park Campground (Ohio)
Salt Fork State Park Campground : http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/saltfork
If you are interested in a few pictures and more information you can see it here on our blog..
This being our first year of camping we still don't have a lot of places to compare against. But this was by far the favorite of any of the campgrounds we've visited to date. Our loop (Area G) was large, level, paved with a shower house on one end and a flush type toilet facility located in the center. The sites were HUGE compared to any other place we've stayed to date. The sites are also generally at an angle to the road making for easy back in. This loop was a mix of open area with some trees to more wooded and shaded areas. There is no vegetation between sites except for maybe a tree here and there but the sites are angled and so large that privacy was no issue. The other campers and the rangers we encountered were all very friendly and respectful.
I'd have to grade pretty much all of the facilities as follows: They are generally clean and well maintained. However there are definite signs of age. The lodge, shower houses, restrooms - while all appear to be well cared for, clean, and in working order are dated at best.
It's not a deep woods camp, it's not just an open field... It's not brand new, and it's not decrepit. It's a very nice place to visit at least for a weekend. We will be back for sure.
(I did submit a review there!)
