Rocky Fork Ranch

1 RV Site

Rocky Fork Ranch in Kimbolton, Ohio, is a ranch-themed family resort offering 1 water-and-electric RV site alongside cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet, open all year. Horseback riding, a golf driving range, mini-golf, disc golf, an outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center fill a property that operates at genuine resort scale. The RV site is water-and-electric back-in, carrying 30 and 50-amp service, sized to 30 feet. Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, and the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches — this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers. Contact the ranch about additional site availability. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The recreation is the point here. Horseback riding, a golf driving range, mini-golf, a disc golf course, an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, game room, barn, sports courts, tennis, basketball, volleyball, billiards, gaga ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a lake, dog park, and pavilion all sit on the property, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and productive birding besides. Planned activities run through the season. That amenity list is extraordinary — this is a working ranch resort rather than a campground with a pool. Guernsey County's rolling hill country sits in unglaciated southeastern Ohio, with Salt Fork State Park, the Rocky Fork Rodeo, the Cambridge Glass Museum, and the Living Word outdoor drama all close. Summer drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

37 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 3 Glamping Sites

Lake Wapusun RV Resort in Shreve, Ohio, offers 37 RV sites, three cabins, six tent sites, and three glamping sites on a lake in Wayne County, with 20 and 30-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A beach, boat rentals, golf cart rentals, and a jumping pillow anchor a family resort behind a gated entrance in Ohio's Amish Country. Thirty-seven back-in sites carry water and electric on 20 or 30-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is on site. Three cabins and three glamping sites serve guests without a rig, and six tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, propane fills and exchange, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Well-behaved, vaccinated pets are welcome but must be leashed outside your vehicle or attended in the fenced off-leash area. Recreation is the resort's focus after a full redesign. A lake with a beach supports swimming, boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats, with boat rentals on site and inflatable water toys in season. A clubhouse, game room, craft room, and pavilion cover indoor hours, with basketball, sports courts, gaga ball, and a jumping pillow outdoors. Golf cart rentals, walking trails, a dog park, and a playground round it out, and food trucks, live music, and planned activities fill the calendar. On-site dining and a wedding venue complete the property. Mohican State Park, Malabar Farm State Park, the Ohio State Reformatory, Amish Country, and area wineries are all close. Summer family demand is the peak — reserve ahead.

Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Five cabins, 10 tent sites, and a lakefront camper rental bunkhouse sleeping four round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, propane fills and exchange, and firewood handle the practical side. Most amenities run daily in season; the inflatable water park and food trucks are typically weekends and holidays. An outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, and beach anchor the summer, with the lakes supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and snorkeling.

Cabins, glamping structures, and tent camping round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

A community fire pit, playground, hiking, and biking fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Diana sits on WV-20 in the heartland of the Mountain State's most remote interior.
