3.01 reviewsPerry 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.

Which you had to do a hill climb to get to, also the main exit route. Plus, the site was out of level so bad I bottomed out my tongue jack and was still out of lev...Show more
