Van Buren State Park Campground

About

Van Buren State Park Campground underwent a major $3.9 million transformation in 2024, converting all 61 campsites to include full RV hookups with electric, water, and sewer service. Connected to the City of Findlay's municipal water supply, the upgraded campground now offers improved drainage systems and modern amenities for year-round camping in northwest Ohio's Hancock County. The 296-acre park is nestled in a valued remnant of beech-maple woodland surrounded by agricultural fields. The campground serves both traditional campers and equestrians, featuring a dedicated horseman's campground where guests can corral their horses. Four bridle trails totaling approximately 12 miles wind through the forested landscape, while multi-use trails accommodate hiking and biking. Van Buren Lake provides fishing and kayaking opportunities. The campground includes basic amenities such as picnic tables at each site, pit toilets, a dump station, and drinking water. An amphitheater and playground serve campers, and three shelter houses are available by reservation. While the facility lacks showers and flush toilets, the full hookup sites make it an excellent choice for self-contained RVs. Reservations are available year-round through ReserveOhio.com or by calling (866) 644-6727.
