Shawnee State Park Campground
Established Campground
Shawnee State Park’s campground sprawls across rolling hills with 107 electric sites, modern restrooms, showers, and a camp store. The facility caters to RV families but works well as a base camp for exploring nearby Shawnee State Forest’s extensive trail network. Sites vary from open grassy areas to partially wooded spots, with the upper loops offering more privacy.
The campground sits on Roosevelt Lake, providing swimming and fishing opportunities between trail runs. Access is fully paved via State Route 125. Reserve ahead for summer weekends and fall foliage season when the place fills with families and leaf-peepers from Cincinnati and Columbus.
