Hello From Ohio

I am currently living in Ohio and I am looking to learn as much as I can about camping. I have been camping for quite a while and have found that you can always learn even more.

 

​

Hi there and welcome again. You don't really wear a suit when you are camping do you?. [ Just joking of course.] So...what kind of camping does one do in the great State of Ohio? [You really don't wear a suit do you?]

This is a great site and has a lot of great people that come and go - I just stay. I'm a four season camper, well equipped and I'm ready to go in an instant if need be. I especially like canoe camping and I will be out the second week in August doing my/our thing. So...tell us more about your experience.

 

I have been running the blog for about a year. I had to revamp it this year because of a hacker that managed to get in and really messed up the files. So I have found the hackers are something I want to protect myself against at all times!

The only way I could get it back was by deleting the site completely and then starting from scratch, very frustrating!

 

Cool site.

 

Nope, I do not wear a suit when I go camping. I prefer the tux for those days!

As far as camping in Ohio we have the basic state campgrounds, which I prefer, but their are quite a few private campgrounds as well. I found the state campgrounds to provide quite a bit of entertainment value and they tend to have quite a few nature trails for the most part that you can walk on with kids and such. Plus, I love to fish, so if you like fishing let me know because their is one lake that I can pull Blue Gill, I know small fish, but enough make a decent meal at will.

 

Great Stuff! Glad you are with us.

 

Welcome, Tristian!

I work in SE Ohio, and often camp in various parts of the state. The Wayne National Forest campgrounds are always well maintained. AEP Lands is great for a quick getaway. My favorite, though, is Geneva State Park.

What places do you like?

 

I actually like Cowan Lake, they have a great beach that my kids love to go to. Stonelick Lake is also a good one. I do like hiking around in Great Seal State park as well. I tend to stick close to the Southern area. I do have some friends that just went up to the ones by Put-in-Bay and I may have to give that one a shot.

 

We often do Put-In-Bay, but stay in motels as we bring a boat instead of the travel trailer.

My daughter works in Ironton, so Vesuvius is a frequent stop - nice COE lake, too. Will have to check out Cowan Lake.

 

Im interested in that so let's share what we know and what we can learn

 

Cowan Lake is a great place. I am actually taking my kids their this afternoon to go swimming as long as the rain holds off!

 

Well done have fun
