I visited Piatt Park over Memorial Day weekend and tent camped. The website provides details that I won't go over but I'll mention what stood out to me. We used #10 campsite that is perfect and best for tent camping. Not all the camp sites are ideal or good for tent camping so you will want to call ahead and reserve the site if you are tent camping. You could set up a large canopy or several tents in this site. Several folks had RVs or homes they pulled and hooked up. There are electric hookups. Each site has a fire ring. There is a shelter that likely fits 50 people and has electrical outlets and one grill. There is a nice playground and a few hiking trails. The nature trail is fairly steep for the first 100 yards and if you are short of breath you'll have to rest a few times. Folks brought their pets. I saw several families with kids. Everyone a pleasant.

Sorry ya'll, I'm about to burst this bubble on one of Ohio's secret camping gems…read more Jesse Owens State Park started off originally as AEP land, which was used for it's natural resources (Coal, gas, etc), leaving larges gapes and dug out crevices in the Earth. Once AEP decided they had purge the natural resources enough, they stopped operations in the 90's and reclamation groups stepped in planting trees, scaping the land & turning pits into large beautiful lakes full of bountiful fish. For many years these were known as the AEP recreation lands, as they had campgrounds, fish access, etc. More recently though, the lands were purchased by Ohio and created as a 'state park'. Why don't you hear a lot of Jesse Owens? Well, most of that will be because it's all primitive camping. There are no shower houses, RV dump stations and the bathroom facilities are glorified out houses. Not exactly a 'glamping' paradise for those who need electricity & hook ups to thrive during camping. It however, ticked all the boxes we were looking for - some true authentic campsites. The sites vary & Jesse Owens has numerous campgrounds you can check out scattered around Morgan County. For my review purposes, I stayed in Sandy Hollow - Campground C. The sites in this campground varied - Some were great for pulling your car into, some were hike in (not far by any means) & some could accommodate the bigger 5th wheels or trailers on more leveled ground. Most spots have a gorgeous view of the man made lake, which makes for a peaceful time of relaxation. It's also important to note that most all campsites have access to the lake (more like walking paths). I DO believe there are a few with docks, but this isn't the place to bring the pontoon party boat. This IS however a place for kayaks, paddleboards & small fishing boats. Did I mention that the camping is FREE here? That's really unheard of in most of the eastern part of the United States. It's also FREE for up to 14 days, which is similar to most stay limits for Bureau of Land Management areas in the west. Every spot is first come- first serve & it fills up quickly on the weekends. Mid-summer might be a different story with the hot temps & humidity, but seriously, don't be that shmuck showing up at 9pm on a Friday even expecting to snag a spot. It's not going to happen. Each spot should have a circular fire pit with a cooking grate & there are dumpsters in different parts of each campground to dump garbage. Overall, this place is a gem, and is a short drive through the beautiful South Eastern part of Ohio. A true getaway from civilization.

It almost feels like stepping into another environment entirely, especially knowing the area is dedicated to wildlife conservation. Our campsite was quiet and well spaced out, which made it easy to enjoy the surroundings without constant noise from nearby groups. At night, the sky was incredibly clear, and the lack of city lights made stargazing surprisingly good. Facilities were simple but adequate, which fits the outdoor-focused setting. Everything we needed was available, and the grounds were kept in good condition. The staff we encountered were welcoming and clearly proud of the property, offering helpful guidance about the area. Camping at The Wilds is more than just pitching a tent--it's an opportunity to spend time in a unique natural environment that feels both peaceful and expansive. It's a great destination if you're looking for something a little different from the usual campground experience.
