I can't say enough great things about the experience I have had visiting Shawnee Valley Campground…read morefor my kayaking trips on Paint Creek. Jimmy and his staff are so incredibly friendly and hospitable. I have been on 3 trips this year, 2 with my dog. Jimmy held a kayak both times I brought her, ensuring that we would be comfortable and they accommodated a last minute change when it came up. I will definitely be back and will recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing day on the creek! PS - It is a little cumbersome to get the boats out of the water after a long day on the creek which would be my only comment to SVC. I hope that more people will clean up their trash from the water. We are responsible for keeping it clean!

What a beautiful state park. Drive by the entrance off 23 while on a foodie road trip and decided…read morewe'd stop by on our way back home. Glad we did, the park is so pretty. Curvy roads, lots of trails and an absolute win for us as it they were having their Halloween event at the campgrounds so got to stop, talk to some of the nicest folks and check out the decorated campgrounds. Lots of space for campers left which surprised me but the park is a bit off the beaten path here in beautiful Ohio. My favorite part was climbing up the old watch tower. The top isn't open to get in to the box at top but high enough to have a lovely view of the countryside.

Scioto Trail State park has become one of our favorites after only our second camping adventure…read morethere. It's the perfect distance from Columbus to make it a doable drive after work on a Friday so that we're able to set up camp before too late in the evening. It's also just enough topography to help you forget for a moment that you're in relatively flat Ohio. (I know I mentioned the forestry service/state forest roads in my previous review but they are well worth the drive in the fall. Especially this fall where the cold snap in September lead to gorgeous colors.) On this past adventure, while it was exceedingly rainy, we still found time to take a hike. We walked around the lake which was lovely as most of the maples still had their leaves. Hiked the Friendship Trail which picks up in the offshoot of the campground and ends on the road at the end of the activities field. We also hiked part of the Church Hollow trail which made for some great mushroom finds. I even saw my first ever wild yam plant (identified later as there is NO cell service within the campground area)! We were pretty much self contained camping, in the same spot as last time. I recommend checking out the sites on the off shoot of the campground. The sites are a bit wider and most of the sites are shaded. I visited the pit toilets once when we first arrived and found them to be clean as far as Ohio state park pit toilets go. They weren't being sanitized at the same rate they were a couple of months ago however, I am sure they are used far less when it starts to get chilly and more and more campers are in RVs.

We don't have many options down in Southeast Ohio and will travel each day to good 18 hole courses. Over the last 40 years we have developed a "list of the usual suspects" but leave room to rotate new options based on recommendations or scrambles our guys have played in. Last summer Crown Hill was added and I can say it has replaced another of our regular courses. It's a nice and fair layout that makes you think about your choices but leaves room to scramble for a saved par or bogie. The staff was friendly and the course in great shape. We will be back this summer!
