About
Strouds Run State Park Campground sits in the scenic Appalachian foothills of Athens County, offering a primitive camping experience surrounded by mixed hardwood forests and overlooking the 161-acre Dow Lake. The campground features 57 non-electric sites, each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. Water spigots are distributed throughout the campground, and a dump station is located at the entrance. Restroom facilities consist of pit toilets with no showers available. The location provides excellent access to the park's recreational offerings. Dow Lake sits just below the campground, offering swimming at the designated beach, fishing, and non-motorized boating. The park maintains an extensive trail system popular with hikers and mountain bikers, including the well-known Thunderbunny Trail with its ridge views overlooking Athens. Recent improvements include an inclusive playground and an ADA-accessible beach path with a new ADA-compliant restroom. Two camper cabins sleeping four guests each and a group camp accommodating up to 150 people are available by reservation. Regular campsites operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Pets are permitted with a maximum of two per site, and they must remain leashed and attended at all times.
