This State campground is quite nice. Our site was a FHU on the E road. No WIFI. The site was paved, level and roomy with a picnic table and fire ring. The showers were clean and had plenty of hot water with a bench in the dressing area of each shower. No shelf in the shower itself. Nice walking paths for walking your dogs. We would stay here again. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Motorhome.

This is an excellent park with paved, widely spaced sites. There is ample vegetation around each site providing good visual separation. The park is very big rig friendly with easy access to the sites. We had no trouble backing our 41' fifth wheel in place. The full hookup sites also have a concrete patio. The access from the interstate is easy as well. Delaware is 5 miles away with plenty of shopping available. Columbus with all of its attractions is an easy drive. There was almost no place to park our truck. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this state park. Nice beach for a state park. Sites are mostly secluded and private. Bathrooms are hit or miss depending on how busy the campground is. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Travel Trailer.

No water hook up in B Loop. There was a community water spigot by our site. Be aware not all bathrooms have showers. We had a big level site (B32) on the end with great privacy. The pad was a little short and had to park truck at an angle to fit in front of trailer. Nice fire rings. Only 1 of the sites (B39) actually had a water view, even though the B loop is called water view. Sites were shady and level. We were there during a bad rain and lots of muddy spots, the campground tried throwing straw out in the mud puddles which did help some. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Travel Trailer.

We came without reservations mid week for a week long stay. It was a bit confusing when the host told us to go check out sites, write down the numbers, and come back to see which was available. I mean, come on, its the age of the internet. We figured out a reasonable shady spot and the experience was fine. The lake is huge, but we were here for other reasons. There is a small disc golf course near the campsites and a better 18 hole course within the park. Watch out for the raccoons. And they could do something about the stray cats. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Motorhome.

Nice site spacing- you don't feel like you're on top of all your neighbors. Only site we could see directly was the one across the street. We're in Columbus for events, so didn't use the lake at all. The beach looked nice though. Space was paved with plenty of room, picnic table and fire ring. Our site was electric only. Didn't use the restrooms, but the showers were fine. Private with a shower and small changing area outside. Could use cosmetic update, but clean with plenty of hot water. Would definitely go back.

Really nice large campground where it feels small because sites are well spaced and separated by greenery. Lake is nice with beach, activities areas, marina and some access from shore to fish. Our site was a full hook up 50amp site...but we noticed other premium sites that were electric and water only if you were close to lake inlets. The check in station had suffered a fire so No one was there, no maps (though camp signage was good). Then shower house was closed and dumpsters were overflowing. Our last day, a staff person manned a temp check in station, was nice and explained trash contractor was remiss and would be picking up soon...and finally dumpsters began to empty. As park got filled, there were multiple reservation issues between campers and no staff around to help. People generally cooperated. We would return. Golden Buckets gets price cut in half, too. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Took a couple of beautiful Fall days to visit this park. Made advance reservations for a full hook-up site. When we arrived, some other travel trailer was on our reserved site and no one was around, not at the campground office or at the site. Took half hour to get a ranger to stop but by then we had just backed into another site (turns out to be better) than the one we had reserved. No problem. The ranger sorted our site reservation issue via his radio. Nice wide site, lots of foliage separating us from neighbors, newly paved blacktopped pad and small concrete patio with excellent large picnic table. Professionally made fire ring that had a removable cooking grate so we use that to make dinner our first night. 50 amp electric, water, and sewer all clustered together at left real corner where they belong. All hook-ups in excellent condition. Couldn't have asked for a nicer, simpler set-up. Very enjoyable. Would be a ten except for the slip up on site reservations and no one at office to help mid-week in October. Most of the sites in this park have only electric so these few full service sites are new and very nice. Glad we got one. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Motorhome.

Second visit to this State Park, this time we made reservations early enough to get a full hook up site. No WiFi or cable, but 30 OTA TV channels. Spacious sites. Limited activities if you don't have a boat. No boat rental. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed at this park for a couple of nights while visiting the Columbus Zoo (great zoo by the way). This is a very nice park. We stayed in site B6 which had full hookups. The site was asphalt with a concrete patio and picnic table. It also had a fire ring. They have a limited number of full hookup sites. No cable or wifi, but we did get several OTA channels. The bathhouse and restrooms were clean and well kept, but were somewhat dated. The rate we paid ($20/night) reflects the 50% off Passport America rate. We didn't use any other facilities of the park. I would stay here again without hesitation when in the area. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Motorhome.

What a beautiful park! 50 amp, great water pressure, sewer and asphalt site with concrete patio! No pull throughs, our back in was very long and we didn't unhook. It wasn't perfectly level, but easy to level up. No cable or wifi, but we got many channels on the antenna and also had a good Verizon signal. Wish we were staying longer...there is a swimming area, but we didn't go see it. Nicely laid out Park, and the office staff was extremely nice and accommodating. They assigned us a site, told us to call them if we wanted another. We didn't call the reserve America number...they charge $8 to make reservations online! There is a lot of road construction and you are routed to a road with a 13'6" railroad overpass. Our RV is 13'6" tall so we had to do a lot of finagling to find a road without a railroad overpass. Also, route 23 exit was shuffled around...lots of exits off the highway were closed. A better way to get there from 71 would to be to go north of Columbus, Oh to route 37. That was the way we left and much easier with no construction. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park! Residential areas all around the park, but you would never know it in the park. Wooded, well laid out park. We don't fish, but apparently the fishing is fantastic in the lake. Many sites look out on the lake. Most sites are electric only, but they do have about a dozen full hook-up sites, not on the lake. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Travel Trailer.

This state park is very pretty and clean. We stayed in one of the full hookup sites and had no problems with them. The site was very level and long enough for our mh and tow car. The park is loaded with poison ivy so we walked our dog on the paved roads to avoid exposure. The showers had nice hot water and great pressure, but frustratingly, there is no place to put shampoo etc. Also the curtain didn't cover the whole opening. We enjoyed the stop and would stop at this park again. We camped at Alum Creek State Park in a Motorhome.
