About
Buckeye Lake State Park Campground is located at Ohio's oldest and most historic state park, established in 1949. The park encompasses approximately 3,300 acres of water and shoreline areas across Fairfield, Licking, and Perry counties. Originally created as a reservoir for the Ohio and Erie Canal system in the 1800s, Buckeye Lake has evolved into a premier recreation destination. The lake offers excellent fishing opportunities for perch, bluegill, crappie, muskellunge, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bullhead catfish. Public swimming beaches are available at Fairfield Beach and Brooks Park on the south shore, and Crystal Beach on the north shore, operating seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park features multiple boat ramps providing easy access for boating and water skiing. Shore areas include Brooks Park, Fairfield Beach, and several islands accessible by boat.
