Does your RV camping trip take you to the upper Midwest? If so, you might want to check out Delaware State Park in Delaware, Ohio. This forested park is located just 45 minutes north of Columbus, an hour southwest of Mansfield, only 20 minutes south of Marion, and is a nearly 1,700-acre hub for campers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Through westward expansion, European colonizers discovered the shores of Lake Erie and decided it would be a good place to build a settlement. In order to protect their families during the war between the Delaware tribe and the British colonizers, the settlers constructed a fortress around the town. After they took the land for their own, they built up this fort which became the beginning of Delaware State Park. In 1951, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a flood control dam which created the Delaware Lake. The reservoir caused by the dam later became the park we know today.

This fascinating ecosystem is home to a large variety of wildlife and landscapes. RV campers at Delaware State Park get to enjoy activities such as swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Get your vacation started and book an RV in Delaware County today.

Discover Delaware State Park


Getting Outdoors

Anglers will find a new favorite fishing hole at Delaware Lake. There's a local marina which has everything you'll need to make your fishing trip a success. Whether it's crappie, largemouth, or smallmouth bass, you’ll be sure to find it here in Delaware Lake. For the youngsters, there's a smaller pond specifically built for novice anglers 15 years old and younger.

Did you bring your hunting gear? Delaware State Park campers are always welcome to hunt in accordance with Ohio state law. There's a lottery for duck blinds, and waterfowl is only able to be hunted on Sundays. Grab your bow, gun, or traps from your campervan rental and head out to the designated hunting areas and see what you can take home. Make sure whatever you're hunting is in season, always have your valid license handy, and follow all the safety rules and regulations.

Have you ever tried disc golfing? Imagine combining golf with frisbee and then put the course out in the woods. Delaware State Park has its own 36-hole disc golfing course that's free for Delaware campers. Bring your own discs or rent from the shop on-site. Take aim and fling your disc down the fairway as you attempt to ultimately land it in the disc catcher. The rules are very similar to golf, hence the name.

Camping at Delaware State Park

As previously mentioned, this park covers just under 1,700 acres of land. Campers have a choice of 211 campsites, all with 30- or 50-amp electrical hookups. Certain sites can accommodate RV rentals up to 70 feet in length. Twenty of the 211 sites are reserved for walk-ins, and all other reservations can be made up to six months in advance. Four sites adhere to ADA regulations, so make sure to book ahead to make sure your needs are met.

Public bathrooms and showers are available for park visitors, as well as a dump station and laundry facilities. The park also provides fire rings, picnic tables, a camp store, an amphitheater, and outdoor grills for cooking up your dinner. If your family enjoys playing games, there are basketball courts, volleyball courts, a tetherball pole, and a playground on-site. The park also provides equipment for these sports.

Exploring the Area

Looking for something to do outside of the park? Check out the Delaware Wildlife Area just north of Delaware. This 4,670-acre ecosystem is great for hunting and fishing for a diverse spectrum of wildlife. Rabbits, mourning doves, pheasants, and deer are some of the most commonly hunted game in the area. Drop a line and see if you can catch any bluegill, channel catfish, or sockeye salmon. If hunting or angling is your game, you won't want to miss the Delaware Wildlife Area.

If you have the urge to explore, the Olentangy Indian Caverns are a short drive away. Discover ancient Native American lore related to the caves, then take a tour through the maze of natural underground tunnels. Bring the whole family. There's a 50,000-square-foot petting zoo full of goats, deer, zebu, chickens, and sheep, all of whom are friendly and love the hands-on interaction. Visitors also get to do some gem mining, miniature golfing, and even a treasure hunt maze!

Or, head to the world-famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. You'll find hundreds of animals from all over the world that you can see and learn about. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium also has great food and live music for its visitors. The zoo provides educational resources, programs, guided tours, as well as community outreach. If you're an animal enthusiast, this is the place for you. Discover the wild world of Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

While the park is full of natural wonder, Delaware State Park is surrounded by civilization. Therefore, when it's time to leave, you'll have no trouble finding a gas station in the area or a place to have a great meal. Then you can take I-71 south towards Kentucky or west towards Indiana.
