Perry Backwoods Campgrounds

42 RV Sites

Perry Backwoods Campgrounds in New Lexington, Ohio, offers 21 RV sites on nine family-owned acres, with full-hookup back-in sites carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp service, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. The layout is big-rig friendly — unusual for a campground this size in the southeast Ohio hill country. Twenty-one sites run from full-hookup back-ins with 30 and 50-amp service to primitive RV sites for guests who need less. Rigs up to 60 feet fit, and a dump station serves those without full hookups. Restrooms and showers are on site. Pets are welcome. On-site facilities are straightforward. A playground serves families, and hiking runs from the property through the wooded Perry County hills. The nine-acre scale and family ownership mean guests deal directly with the operators, and the campground continues to add facilities. Off-roading areas are nearby for guests hauling ATVs. New Lexington sits on US-22 about 60 miles southeast of Columbus, in the reclaimed coal country that has grown back into some of the most rugged terrain in an otherwise glacially flattened state. Hocking Hills State Park, the AEP ReCreation Land, and the Wayne National Forest are all within day-trip range. The campground serves the southeast Ohio camping season, drawing from the Columbus and Athens markets. Fall color through October is the most scenic window, and summer weekends see the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for both.

Rustic Acres RV Resort & Campground

28 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Rustic Acres RV Resort and Campground in Shippenville, Pennsylvania, offers 29 RV sites, six tent sites, and two glamping sites in the Clarion River watershed, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. A back-in full-hookup category with a private backyard joins pull-through tiers at both amperages, with EV charging, a craft room, and a dog park. Twenty-nine sites span back-in full hookup 30-amp with backyard, back-in, pull-thru full hookup 50-amp, and pull-thru full hookup 30-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The site with a private backyard is a genuine find. EV charging is still uncommon at RV parks. Six tent sites and two glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, showers, firewood, RV storage, and a craft room handle the practical side. The resort is LGBTIQA+ friendly. A playground, community fire pit, dog park, and creek fill the grounds. The trails are the standout — the campground is adjacent to 3,000 acres of wooded state game lands with ATV roads and hiking trails, accessible directly from your site. Offroading, boating, a state park, and wine tasting are nearby, with productive birding and live music through the season. The property has run as a family retreat for more than 65 years, in Clarion County near the Allegheny National Forest. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead for October.
