RV Rental Harrison Lake State Park, OH

With a 105-acre lake on your doorstep when RV camping at Harrison Lake State Park, it’s the perfect place to enjoy some water-based activities.

Fishing has always been popular here, and anglers can try their hand at catching bluegill, catfish, bass, and crappie to name just a few. Just remember that you will need to obtain an Ohio fishing license before you cast that line.

Fish from the shore or rent a boat at the campground office to get further into the lake. Once you’ve had enough fishing, take a gentle trip around the lake to explore. Remember to keep your speed down though, as there is a no-wake speed limit on the entire lake.

Swimming is always popular, particularly with the kids, and at Harrison Lake State Park you’ll find a 150-foot swimming beach perfect for a relaxing time. Although your dog isn't allowed on the beach, there is a designated dog swimming area nearby.

If you enjoy hiking, then you will love that there are 3.5-miles of trails available in the park. A single loop runs right around the lake, staying close to the shore and giving you plenty of opportunities to spot the wildlife along the way. Some smaller loops offer some detours near the campground, through the woodlands.
