Indian Lake State Park Campground Ohio | 2024 Boat and Camper Show

[@P25trs]

Been wondering where you guys been lately, nice to see you back hitting the parks again!!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

We are still around just no camping over the winter. Thanks so much for watching!

[@JanetCorey-i6t]

When my son was a little guy (he's 41), Lake Hope was our home campground. When I lived in Columbus, I would visit my mom in Akron and stay at Portage Lakes one or two times a month. Really liked that campground. Now, it's a tossup between East Harbor and Kelley's Island. Watching your videos, I have a long list of places to try!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Lake Hope is very pretty part of the state! We have never visited Portage Lakes. East Harbor & Kelly’s Island are both great parks! We also have a lot of places to visit 😊 Thanks so much for watching!

[@Kim-is1zb]

I love Scioto Trail Campground. It’s very small, but I love that about it.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Small campgrounds can be the best! Thanks for watching!

[@bethellen4155]

My go to would be a short drive to Mohican. And love the Malabar Farms Maple Syrup festival in March with the horse drawn wagons and historical tour of the home. Good to see you pop up on my feed! Spring has sprung!🌱 Absolutely wouldn't miss your fun videos.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Mohican is a nice campground and the Malabar Maple Syrup Festival sounds like fun! Thanks so much for watching, we appreciate your support!

[@Kim-is1zb]

I love Mohican also. It’s difficult to get a reservation there. Now that I’m retired it might get a little easier.

[@katherineshonkwiler2498]

Cowan, John Bryant and Indian lake are my top campgrounds.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

All great campgrounds!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@RhinosRestomods]

John West and the Boaters Helping Boaters is an awesome group to have around our lake!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

I agree 100% Thanks so much for watching!

[@rodgaver7605]

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

It’s a great home campground especially! Thanks for watching!

[@ruthanngriffith4875]

Our home campground is Pymatuning State Park in Andover Ohio. I’ve been camping there since I was 2, 59 years! Love it 😍

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

[@JohnWest-w8j]

Great video you guys thank you for the shout out. I really appreciate it. And you can never go wrong with Buckeye pizza

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Thank you John. It was great seeing you guys again. If we can help in anyway just let us know. Yea Buckeye Pizza was great. Thanks for watching!! Stay safe.

[@tondamalone3303]

Hi there! I just saw your video and I was so happy to see that you enjoy coming to the indie lake campgrounds because I use to camp here at Sabos Lakeside Campground, next to the Aries Bldg by the spillway, for 8 years. We sold our camper and bought a little home in Lakeview. We were in the Tornado last March, but thank God our modular home community did not get hit. Most of Lakeview did. I love Buckeye at the Lake pizza! I hope you guts loved it also. I bought a small TT to pull with my Ford 150, and I plan on making my first camping trip at Indian Lake State Campground. I would love to meet you guys next time you come to the lake! Although we have loved here now for 2 years, we still feel like we're discovering new places also. I'd love to check out some of this places with you guys. I have compiled a long list of places I want to go camping at, thanks to you two! I love the feed back about all the places you camp and the things to do in the area. Hope to see you soon, happy camping! Do you ever winter camp? Hugs, Tonda and Penny (my 5# yorkie) in OH-IO!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

We love going to Indian Lake! And also keep finding new places to check out! Glad to hear you made it through the tornado unscathed❤️ Congratulations on your camper, hope you and Penny make many great memories! Thanks so much for the kind words and support! I-O!! Thanks for watching!

[@tims4558]

We lately have started the season with Geneva State Park. Our shakedown trip. It’s not too far, but far enough to give the RV a rattle or two. I appreciate your videos. Please keep them coming. You have given us some great ideas for parks we have never been to. Also for ideas around the parks. We have Mary Jane Thurston, John Bryan, Caesar Creek, and Grand Lake St Mary’s booked for this year primarily due to watching your videos. Thank you again!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Glad to hear our videos have helped you! Sounds like you have a lot of great trips planned! Thanks so much for watching!

[@WilliamCloutier-v6b]

Just found you guys! Indian lake is our “home” campground as well and Buckeye on the lake is our Thursday night dinner every time!! Hope to see you there sometime.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Welcome! As you can probably tell We love Indian Lake! 😄 Sounds like a great Thursday night! They have delicious salads also! Would love to see you there sometime! Thanks for watching!

[@studflyer]

Thanks for the video from our fellow Buckeyes. I've added this to our list of campgrounds to check out. About 2 hours for us, which isn't bad. Keep up the great videos on camping! Nice upgrade on the tow rig! It should tow one of those boats very nicely. :)

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Thank you fellow Buckeye! It’s a fun campground to visit because there’s always something going on around the lake. It can get very busy and bit noisy through the summer months . You noticed the new to us rig 😊 We are loving it and yes it would a boat with no trouble! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kennethseeley-ze9pk]

Hello from Akron. I watch you guys. Not a lot of east coast people on you tube for camping. Thanks for making the videos and that pizza looked good!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Hello! The pizza was very good! Thanks so much for watching!

We love this camp at Charlestown State Park. It our home campground. Love watching you all.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

We really like Charlestown SP. We have a rally there every year. Thank so much for watching. Safe travels.

[@tonynay7767]

Pokagon State Park is our home campground. It's such a beautiful park and just a 40-minute drive from our place in Michigan. It is usually our first trip of the year.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

We love Pokagon SP. We have stayed there a few times. That’s nice that you are so close. Thanks so much for watching!!! Safe travels to you guys.

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Our home campground is French Creek State Park in PA which is about 25 minutes from the house. We always head there for our first trip of the season. A state campground with full hook ups. Boat and camper shows help get us through the winter season. They just need to add motorcycles and it would be a trifecta show! Glad to see you're back at it.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Hey Scott, We are going to have to get over that way sometime. It was a fun weekend. Yea motorcycles would of topped it off. Are you heading to Ohio this year? If so i hope we get to see you guys. Safe travel and thanks for watching.

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

@@TravelingBuckeyes Originally I was going to head out west this summer and go through Ohio, but as I planned the trip I realized I needed more time for a trip out west so I am putting that trip off until I am retired. I replaced it with a trip to Pigeon Forge and Nashville. Let me know if you come east into PA.

[@richardtinsleyjr]

My go to is winton woods and East fork lake. I like to go there for first trip of the season to make sure everything is working fine before i ventrue out further away from home.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Great campgrounds! We love Winton Woods! Thanks so much for watching!

[@serinehart]

We are fortunate to have a nice state park with full hook ups just 30 minutes from us in Jellico TN, personally my favorite campground mainly because there is very little to do but camp and just get away from everything, other than the ebikes we just lay around and rest. Stay safe.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

That is awesome! We are hoping to get down that way next year. It’s really nice to just relax. Thanks so much for watching!! Safe Travels.

[@pamburke8614]

We have a spot at Long Lake Park Campground. Pristine and lovely on a 60 acre lake. New to camping,love it! As seniors, we love staying in the same spot. Park model camper with all the comforts of home and wonderful neighbors and activities. 😊

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

That part of the lake is beautiful! You’re are lucky to have this park to enjoy your summers! We have thought about something like this once we are retired. Thanks for watching!

[@wahlboysadventures1051]

@traveling buckeyes we go to walnut creek campground southern Ohio near chillicothe Ohio it’s a great campground and 10 min from home tar hallow state park campground is also about 15 min away.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

That is a beautiful area! Thanks so much for watching!

[@rbaker4355]

We like to camp at two campgrounds. The first is The Cardinal Center off of I71 and Oh.61. The second is the Mt. Gilead KOA on Oh 95. We enjoy watching your videos.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

That’s great! We like both of them as well. Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate it!! Safe travels.

[@rbaker4355]

Glad you left b4 the tornado!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Yes! Our hearts go out to all of the Indian Lake community 🙏❤️

[@7snakes]

What kind of damage did the state park receive? I know it’s closed, but was hoping you can provide some idea of what happened in the State Park itself.

[@tjmcelroy538]

@@7snakes also the Maple Syrup Festival this month is canceled, due to the damage

Our home campground is Geronimo Campground at Indian Lake Ohio and this will be our 8 year there. Before that we pulled our camper and Deer Creek was the place we went to the most with our grandkids.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Cool, your fellow Indian Lakers too! We love going to IL, there’s always something to do! I bet you have many great memories with your grandkids! Thanks so much for watching!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Thanks for sharing, hope you have a great 1st trip of the year! Thanks for watching!

[@MaisesMom-ix6yi]

West Branch State Park! It's only 30 minutes away, so a great starting place to get back in the swing of packing, setting up, etc. If we forgot something, no stops at a store, just a quick run home.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

That’s awesome! We are going to have to get over to that side of the state and check out West Branch and some other ones. Thanks so much for watching!! Safe travels!!

[@tattiibi99ins]

We are from Indianapolis Indiana, just went to Indian lake today. It was very nice. We are going back possibly next weekend lol. Our home away from home is Whitewater Memorial state park in Liberty Indiana. If you ever get out that way you should definitely check it out and also 2 other parks connected by Brookville Reservoir

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

So glad you were able to check Indian Lake out! We enjoy Brookville lake and are planning a trip to Mounds this summer! One of these days we are going to go to Whitewater 😊! Thanks so much for watching!

[@ohioclassCcamper]

We use Dillon state park as are home camp grounds. Just 30 minutes for house. My wife can even travel to work if needed. We are new to RV camping just started August 23 . Look seeing your Ohio state park trips.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Dillon SP is a nice campground. Hope you guys have a great camping season. Thanks so much for watching.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Those are great campgrounds. Have fun at Indian Lake. We really appreciate you watching our channel and glad we can help out. Safe travels!!

[@davidlane9990]

We would take the camper, and boat there. Breakfast at McDonalds after a ride across the lake was normal for us in the mornings😅 our home campground is Fort Loramie

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

The morning is the best time for a boat ride. Definitely McD’s for breakfast. Have fun on your trip! Thanks for watching!!

[@Steve_and_Deb_Explore_the_USA]

It looks like Bud’s Marine lost their roof last night. I remember that you guys lived nearby but couldn’t remember. I grew up on my grandfather’s farm on the south side of Bellefontaine. My brother has a place on the lake on Shawnee Island, but it’s okay. There was an unbelievable amount of devastation though. I’ll paste in a link for 54 Mac McGinnis’ drone images from Facebook in a reply to this post, but not sure YT will allow that.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

We do not live at the lake but spend a lot of time there. Christy’s family has a cottage at the lake. It’s located in one of the hardest hit areas, luckily they did not have any damage. The destruction around the lake is devastating. Thanks for letting us know about this fb page we will check out their page. Please keep the Indian Lake community in your thoughts and prayers! They have a long road ahead of them.

[@ohiofarmgirl3384]

Thanks for taking us with you! Do you think the camping/camping buying boom is over? We’re just starting our 13th camping year. Can’t wait!

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

You’re so welcome. After talking to the owners of RV wholesalers it seems to have slowed way down compared to 2020 -2023. Have a great 13th year of camping. Thanks so much for watching!!😁

[@leonardjeffreys1546]

Hope you all came through the storm ok. Please post an update when you can.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Luckily we do not live at the lake however Christy’s family has a cottage located in one of the hardest hit areas. The cottage was not damaged, unfortunately the neighborhood was not as lucky 😢 We truly appreciate you reaching out and checking on us! Please keep the Indian Lake community in your thoughts and prayers 🙏

[@patrickpatterson896]

OMG! First, I hope you are safe. I am not sure how far away from Indian Lake you are but but saw the devastation in the area. I also saw where the park is closed until further notice.

[@TravelingBuckeyes]

Although the Indian Lake area feels like home to us we actually live about an hour away. Thank you so much for your concern about our safety❤️ Christy’s family has a cottage at the lake but fortunately it came through the tornado unscathed. There does not seem to be any damage at the State Park Campground which is good but they closed all state property for safety reasons.

[@patrickpatterson896]

Glad to hear all the news. I know I consider West Branch my "home" campground but it's 45 minutes away and Guilford Lake is closer. Safe travels during camping season. Now, should I start putting stuff in mine. Hmmmm.... 🙂
