Leith Run Campground Absolutely the worst camping experience…read morewe've ever had. We booked a riverfront site months in advance, but the host gave it away to someone else. Even though she was responsive, that should never have happened. The people occupying our site were rude and refused to leave despite us showing our confirmation--resolving that mess took two exhausting hours. The toilet was disgusting, clearly hadn't been cleaned in ages. We had to hold it all night and left first thing in the morning. Other sites might be better, but Leith Run was a nightmare. Never again.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Jesse Owens! The cabins are exceptionally beautiful, the area is…read moreserene, and the amenities were beyond what we expected. Our family is used to rustic-style tent camping; however, we decided to shake it up a bit and try a cabin. When searching for campsites, we saw that these new, modern cabins were available and decided to give them a try. All I can say is WOW!!! These cabins blew us away, from their architecture to the amenities we were provided, they felt luxurious. Closer to an AirBNB than a cabin. We didn't need half of what we packed, as provided for us were towels, pots, pans, utensils, silverware, dinnerware, potholders, firewood, etc. We stayed in cabin 1 and were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. They had a blast walking around the campsite (we walked down the RV and tent camping areas too). While there is limited wi-fi in the cabins (doesn't quite reach the bedrooms) and satellite TV, there is no cell service. For us, this was ideal as we enjoy disconnecting from technology for a bit, but we wanted to share in case this would concern anyone looking to stay. When leaving, you can use the provided broom and dustpan to straighten up a bit. We left any used towels in the bathroom, returned all dishes to their respective places after cleaning, and took our trash to the dumpster. If you have time, we highly recommend checking out the Appalachian Hills Visitor Center for the bison, Big Muskie, and The Wilds! Overall, we had an amazing time, and we are already planning our next stay! This cabin may have made "glampers" out of this rustic family!

We stayed at the new (April 2026) Frank Lloyd Wright style cabins. The 2 bedroom cabins are…read moregorgeous! There are 10 cabins and each appear slightly different. All have similar design and unique artistic flair. Fully furnished, nice comfortable furniture and they thought of almost everything. The kitchen had most everything you might need. Missing paper towels/napkins, wine glasses, ice cube trays, grill utensils. Our cabin, # 8, had nice bedrooms, comfortable beds and linens. Closets but no hangers. Bathroom modern and spacious. Plenty of towels but no shower soap or shampoo, so be sure to bring your own. A little odd that a couple of hall windows facing the parking lot had no window coverings. Two bedrooms share a bathroom so you had to walk through the hall to access bathroom, right past the viewing windows. Covered outdoor dining area was super nice. The only downside was there wasn't much to do. We were hoping for nice hiking trails in the park but they don't have developed trails. There may be some a short drive away but the ones we tried were not well kept, narrow with lots of poison ivy. Fairly close to The Wilds so it would be a great place for families to stay. They do have two pickleball courts, and a basketball hoop. No pool. WiFi in cabin but cell service is sketchy while driving through the area. Be prepared and download directions and info before you leave the cabin.

Only thing kind of annoying is the paper bracelets they give at check-in. Only place I have been where they actually make you wear it- and seem to check.

Second, it's a historic Civil War site in which the Union soldiers built a fort in 1863 to protect the railroad (Baltimore & Ohio) from enemy fire or occupation by the Confederate army. Third, it was not overly crowded and parking is easily available within a short walk of the viewpoint. It only takes 15 minutes to admire the lovely views of the Ohio river It also provides a sense of the strategic importance of the fort's strategic location as a sentinel of enemy movements. Enjoy your visit!

There was a sign at an intersection talking about a Mother's Day Flea Market at the Fairgrounds so we made the Left turn at the light and about 2 miles later was pulling into the parking lot.

We crossed the Historic Covered Bridge that is used at the Entrance (moved here from another location in the County) The fairgrounds is located near the Muskingum River. The pictures I am displaying is from the flea market event that I attended there with my hubby.
