About
Paint Creek State Park Campground occupies a scenic hilltop setting within the 5,652-acre park in southwest Ohio's Paint Creek Valley. The main campground offers 197 electric campsites, including 14 premium deck sites with views of the 1,148-acre lake. Two camper cabins are also available for rental during summer months. Each campsite includes a fire ring and picnic table, with modern amenities including hot showers, flush toilets, laundry facilities, and a dump station nearby. The campground is pet-friendly and offers ADA-accessible sites. A camp store provides basic supplies and internet access. Site pad lengths vary considerably, with some accommodating RVs up to 50 feet while others are better suited for units under 30 feet. Electric hookups are standard, but water and sewer connections are not available at individual sites; water spigots are distributed throughout the campground. Beyond camping, the park offers a 1,000-foot sand beach, a 21-hole disc golf course, three hiking trails, 25 miles of bridle trails, and 12 miles of mountain bike trails. The lake provides excellent fishing and boating opportunities.
