Main3s Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm looking for a good palce to camp. Not this kind of camping... http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45076000/jpg/_45076599_bear_other2262.jpg http://images.theglobeandmail.com/archives/RTGAM/images/20070723/WBmingram20070723111700/bear_grylls.jpg Or this kind... http://www.birdsnestlodge.com/pics/camping.jpg But something like this would be nice.... http://www.birdsnestlodge.com/pics/camping2.jpg I will have a tent, not a pop up or RV, I’d like to sort of ruff it. Also if there is a place to Canoe or do other things while I camp that that would be a plus and if it’s with in an hour or 2 drive from Columbus that would be nice too. Any suggestions?

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 AEP Recreation Land (Formerly Ohio Power) http://www.aep.com/environmental/recreation/recland/ I tent camp there often. It's pretty well maintained and if you don't go on a holiday you can usually get some decent sites not right on top of other people. I hate parking lot camping (Alum Creek, etc).

XChris1632X Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Fuck camping anywhere in ohio. I have grown up camping all over Ohio, KY, and Tenn. My favorite place of them all is Cave Run Lake KY. National park, great lake, great fishing, BEST campsites you will ever find with plenty of shade and privacy in the trees and some sites are only 25 yards from the water. I can get there towing a boat in under 4 hours so it isnt too far away. I choose to go to Cave Run and camp rather than staying on the houseboat in Tenn and I have been going there for over 20 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I actually broke out the old Boy Scout hand book. I haven't been camping since I was a kid (10-12 years old). I'm actually looking forward to it. My G/Fs family "Camps" but they have huge RV's and you have neighbors, to me, that's not camoing. Mohican does looks nice.

2 Sweet Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Great thread, I'm curious to find some sweet places to camp too. John Bryan State Park near Dayton/Yellow Springs is pretty nice and seems like what you'd be looking for. I haven't been there in years though. I'd like to try somewhere else for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
