Amish country camping

Keim Lumber is in Charm. Keim lumber closes at noon on Saturday and like most of the places are closed on Sunday. Be sure to stop at Hershbergers (I think that's the name) on the way to charm. Good produce, baked goods and you can check out the farm animals. Great good kids because the goats climb on top of the roof.

Whispering Hills in Shreve

Another vote for Scenic Hills. If budget allows, Evergreen is an outstanding campground!!!! Be certain to go to Charm. Visit the lumber company and look at everything. Good food in Charm. Miller's Bakery is just North of Charm and has very good products at slightly English Prices.

There is a KOA near Homerville, OH. We stayed there last Sept. passing through. It is about an hour south of Cleveland, just off I-71. Very clean and a lot of space; very nice staff. Saw an Amish buggy in West Salem.

There are at least half a dozen campgrounds within a couple miles of Mohican State Park. Probably over a dozen in the Amish area.

Off topic, but had to share, we went to an amish community while on vacation in gettysburg PA, while touring the amish countryside, we came across a roadside stand where amish folks were selling homemade pies, etc.. Well they had real homemade birch bark beer. We.bought some, and then I looked at the young amish girl behind the counter and asked, "do you have any ice?"..... She looked at me, and then it hit me... DOH!

She very well could have had ice. I live in the county of one of the largest populations of Amish and Mennonite communities in North America. Refrigerators, stoves and some freezers are converted to propane. What you hear is not necessarily how Mennonite and Amish families live. You may find it odd to hear that someone is sitting, typing on a forum, using a computer and telephone then getting up and going to town in a buggy, wearing clothes the english seem odd. Or that there could be someone of the Amish or Mennonite faith standing beside you and you would never know it. There is a lot of misconceptions about the community.

What is it that draws people from far to travel the countryside to see? We have had many a talk about it.

Mohican State Park, has some full hookups and is well taken care of.
