Carthage Gap Campground

Carthage Gap Campground is in the far southeast corner of Ohio, near the small town of Coolville. The campground sits only about 10 miles east of the Ohio River, which forms the state border with West Virginia. This region is far hillier and more forested than much of the rest of the state. The nearest larger town is Parkersburg, WV, at around 20 miles to the east, while the nearest large city is also the state's capital, Columbus, OH, which is almost 100 miles to the northwest.

Carthage Gap Campground is open from around the first of May through the end of October. There are actually two campgrounds on-site. Reservations are accepted, though there are often spots available on a first-come, first-serve basis, as well. This area is fairly rural; however, there are a few gas stations and grocery stores within as little as five miles from the campground. There are also a few restaurants available nearby for when hunger calls. With a stay at this family-friendly campground in southwestern Ohio, it should not be a problem to find any services you may need.

This campground offers WiFi for campers, as well as a laundry room, bathrooms, and showers. Fishing and swimming access at a pond can also be found on-site. There is also a playground available for kids, and there are some game courts spread around the campgrounds. There are also various events held here throughout the busy months, such as pancake breakfasts and potlucks. Camping with an RV in this part of the state will make it easy to reach all the attractions found nearby.
