Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 So, Even thought my bike deal fell through (for the time being anyway) I'm trying to plan some future camping trips with my bike. I want to go to Hocking Hills or somewhere else close...so anyone have any experience camping locally? I need to know campsite names, or websites I can acess to get pricing and stuff. I would appreciate any input y'all can offer! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I haven't done any in state bike / camping trips, but when I travel I look at the state's parks and recreation websites for camping info.http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/overnightfacilities/camping/tabid/19426/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC51 John Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've stayed at Hocking and was able to see most areas of interest.http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn63/RC51_John/Hiking%20at%20Hocking/?albumview=grid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Hocking and Mohican are the probably the most popular and an easy drive from Columbus. For some less touristy areas, try Paint Creek or Lake Vesuvius. Both are fairly picturesque, and not too bad of a drive from Columbus. At Lake Vesuvius, you can camp on the cliff that overlooks the lake, it's pretty cool. If you want a cabin and plan on fishing, try Seneca Lake or Piedmont Lake, both are off of 70 in eastern Ohio.

swingset Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Look into some of the Northern WVA camping grounds....the dual-sport riding down that way puts Ohio's to shame, and it's still within range of a little bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a blast wouldn't it? If I can convince my man to go on a trip (which shouldn't be too hard...) I would LOVE to do something like that over a holiday...and the whole point is go riding so who cares about sight seeing---and I love the tent idea and also love that there is a real shower....sounds awesome!

Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Okay, it sounds absolutely intriguing!! Im good with getting dirty and seeing whatever there is to see that those without the dual sport can't get to Are there fees for the camp sites etc? I really wouldn't mind planning that...oh...I'm moving into my new place the first week of July....I guess it would be a great break if we can get all our shit together by then....wow sounds like fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
