We’ll say it bluntly: Van Buren State Park Campground is the bees knees.

We’ll keep saying it bluntly: horseback riding, hiking, bike riding, basketball, amphitheater, ADA access, mountain bike trails, picnic tables, playground, volleyball, disc golf, and more. So, yeah. Get here. You can reserve electric campsites, non-electric sites, equestrian ones, and cabins on which to rest your head once your adventurous self just can’t go on. And hey, sorry for all the lists, but we’re still kind of speechless over how hooked up this cool, quiet, family and pet friendly spot is.

Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

13 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · West Millgrove, OH

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.
