From the shores of Lake Erie to the soft peaks of the Appalachians, Ohio provides a perfect backdrop for a vacation filled with recreation and relaxation. There are 2 National Historic Parks, three National Wildlife Refuges, and 83 state parks to discover. With this in mind, many travelers rent camper rentals to explore as much as possible.

Hocking Hills State Park brims with waterfalls and smooth sandstone caves, while Salt Fork State Park features one of the largest inland beaches in Ohio. Ride horses along the sandy shores of Lake Erie in Maumee Bay State Park or backpack along the foothills of the Appalachians in Wayne National Forest. Ohio is a wonderful place to reconnect with nature, and if you’re eager to check out some amazing glamping spots, keep reading.
