Amish country camping

We like Scenic Hills. Full hookups, no pool, no bath house, no playground. Just nice and quiet with horse pastures all around and some pretty good views in the upper section.

I imagine very few people will understand either of the above reference but I do.

Levi and crew were Amish that practiced vigilante justice against other Amish, attacking men and cutting their beards in an attempt to shame them. They are now doing prison time.

It is a crime to sell raw milk in Ohio. An Amish man was the victim of a set up a year or so ago, gave away some raw milk. The recipient insisted on compensating the farmer, after refusing payment numerous times the farmer did accept a token payment. He was then arrested for selling raw milk.

Neither of these stories has anything to do with camping in Amish country. It is a great place to visit. The Amish are all too happy to take money from the English. The English are anyone that is not Amish.

Edit:
I didn't realize Levi and crew was in reference to a tv show that I have never seen. My post is referring to the 'real' Amish mafia in Ohio.

All the CG that I had recommended in and around Amish country offer full hook-ups.

I can recommend 4 good ones in and around Amish country.

Whispering Hills in Shreve
Evergreen RV park
Mohican Adventures (they got all new bath/shower houses last year)

and the best for last

Shelby / Mansfield KOA Resort

evergreen good sam 10 - 10 - 10 very nice full hook up. Amish often visit to use the laundry mat. Indoor pool is nice, bathrooms are immaculately clean. some sites do have a bit of a slope

You rent a horse and put it on a tread mill to run the generator.

Just kidding!! Some sites have just electric and water, others have full hookups. The newer ones have 50amp service. Oldest ones have at least 30 amp. Most now have WiFi.

Pope Haven is in the real honest to goodness Old Amish counrty. But not in Pennsylvania or Ohio. And no phony Amish restaurants.
