Explore Ohio: 9 Destinations for Late Fall Camping
There's no "off-season" for outdoor adventures in Ohio. In fact, once the weather cools off, and the autumn colors inch past their peak in late fall, many of our parks and trails become less crowded, making this an amazing time of year to experience solitude in nature. Be sure to check out these great campgrounds for a late fall adventure in the Buckeye State!
Hueston Woods State Park
6301 Park Office Road, College Corner, OH 45003
Less than an hour from Cincinnati near the Indiana state line, Hueston Woods State Park is known as one of the best parks for fall foliage in Ohio. It's also a great place to camp, with over 250 campsites, including primitive tent sites as well as RV sites with electrical hookups. The campground is open year-round, making it a perfect spot for a late fall trip. Hueston Woods State Park also includes a charming covered bridge, popular fossil hunting beds, access to Acton Lake, and more than 12 miles of hiking trails.
Alum Creek State Park

Alum Creek Lake is a major destination for summer recreation in the Columbus area, but the fun isn't over when the swimming and boating season ends. In fact, fall is a great time to visit the lovely Alum Creek State Park if you want to beat the crowds. Camping options here include more than 300 electric campsites, as well as camper cabins and a group camp. Late fall is a great time to hike in the park or paddle a canoe along the shoreline and enjoy the last days of fall. Alum Creek lake also offers some excellent fall fishing opportunities for bass, saugeye, crappie, and catfish.
Lake Erie Bluffs
3301 Lane Road, Painesville, OH 44077
Located less than 45 minutes from Cleveland in Northeast Ohio, Lake Erie Bluffs offers spectacular lake views that can take your breath away in any season. Operated by Lake Metroparks, Lake Erie Bluffs offers two rustic tent camping sites that can each accommodate groups of up to eight people. The sites are located atop the 40-foot lakeside bluffs and are available by reservation from May 3 to November 30. In addition to an incredible view of Lake Erie from your campsite, you can also spot up to 90 bird species as they migrate south along a major flyway. Bald eagle sightings are common.
John Bryan State Park

View this post on Instagram
A short drive from both Cincinnati and Dayton, John Bryan State Park has been called the most scenic park in Southwest Ohio. It spans 752 acres and is most famous for the rugged limestone gorge along the Little Miami River. Hiking trails both above and below the cliffs provide outstanding fall scenery, and a launch site just outside the park provides allows paddling access to the river. John Bryan State Park includes a cozy family campground with 16 electric and 40 non-electric sites. It's open year-round, but water isn't available during the off-season, so plan accordingly.
Deer Creek State Park
20635 State Park Road 20, Mt. Sterling, OH 43143
A beautiful park in any season, Deer Creek State Park provides a unique blend of the modern and the rustic. In addition to 200 electric campsites and a remote primitive camping area, the park also offers luxurious accommodations at the Deer Creek Lodge & Conference Center. Either way, you'll find brilliant fall foliage, more than 20 miles of trails, and abundant fishing and boating access to 1,277-acre Deer Creek Lake. This park is often bustling with activity in summer, but late fall is a great time to enjoy it in peace and quiet.
Mohican State Park
3116 OH-3, Loudonville, OH 44842
View this post on Instagram
Autumn is a great time to explore Mohican State Park, a beautiful Northeast Ohio Park that spans over 1,000 wooded acres. Located about halfway between Cleveland and Columbus, Mohican State Park sits at the intersection of the Clear Fork and Black Fork rivers, which join to form the Mohican River. There's amazing scenery long after the fall foliage has peaked, and the rivers offer excellent paddling and fishing. This park also includes a vast network of hiking trails and a thrilling 25-mile mountain biking trail. The campground in the park is shady and secluded, with over 150 sites ranging from primitive to full-hookup.
Winton Woods

The Hocking Hills area of Southeastern Ohio is one of the most celebrated landscapes in the state. There are few better places to experience it than Hocking Hills State Park, which is less than an hour away from Columbus. This unique place features distinctive landforms like cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and rock formations along the Allegheny Plateau, with over 25 miles of hiking trails. Few people visit the park in late fall, making it easy to reserve a campsite at short notice. Electric and full-hookup family campsites are available, as well as primitive hike-in sites.
Ottawa Overlook Backcountry Sites
Ottawa Point Driveway, Brecksville, OH 44141
Surprisingly, there are no camping opportunities in Northeast Ohio's spectacular Cuyahoga Valley National Park. But there are some great options nearby, including the Ottawa Overlook Backcountry Sites. These rustic, secluded campsites are accessible a short hike in from the Ottawa Point Picnic Area in Brecksville and are located along the Buckeye Trail, making them popular among backpackers. Each of the three campsites can accommodate up to four people, and the minimal amenities offer a great opportunity to "rough it" for the night.

9 Destinations to Celebrate Spooky Season in Ohio
From haunted houses to immersive experiences to real sites with a ghostly history, October has a plethora of fun and spooky things to see and do. But it's hard to know where all the best Halloween events are if you've just moved to a new area. Ohio is full of spooky destinations you won't want to miss. Here are some of our favorite haunts, tours, and other Halloween events near Northeast Ohio, Columbus, and Cincinnati.
The Spirits of the Palace Ghost Investigation
605 Market Ave. N, Canton, OH, 44702
This one-day event runs Friday, October 28th, from 10:30 pm to 2 am and is limited to just 30 people, so get your tickets as soon as possible. Taking place at the historic Canton Palace Theatre, this is not a show or a haunt, but a real investigation into possible mysterious and paranormal goings on there, led by paranormal investigators Team S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Photographs and videos are encouraged, and attendees are welcome to bring their own ghost hunting tools, such as temperature and EMF meters, motion detectors, etc.
The Haunted House Restaurant
13463 Cedar Rd., Cleveland Heights, OH 44118
View this post on Instagram
While this one isn't a scary experience, if you're a fan of horror movies, you'll want to check out this restaurant. With posters and memorabilia on the walls, they serve up dishes inspired by all your favorite scary movies, from the Birdbox Sandwich (fried chicken breast with Cajun mayo, cheese, and maple sauce) to the Pennywise (red waffle sandwich with pepper jack and candied bacon) to Silence of the Lamb Chops, and more. And, of course, there's plenty of "creepy pasta" as well. They also have vegan options like the Ecto Burger, which pairs an Impossible patty with vegan pulled pork, and Children of the Street Corn. Come in for brunch or dinner to get into the Halloween spirit.
Ghost Walk
256 Mahoning Ave., Warren, OH 44483
Sponsored by the Trumbull County Historical Society, this ghost walk begins at the First Presbyterian Church and guides you through a one-mile walking tour of the historic Perkins neighborhood. Actors portray various members of the Perkins family and relate a variety of fun and chilling tales of the area. Now in its 34th year, the Ghost Walk is a favorite for children and adults alike.
Ghost Tours of the Reeves Museum
325 E. Iron Ave., Dover, Ohio 44622
View this post on Instagram
The Reeves Victorian Home and Carriage House Museum has a variety of tours and events throughout the year, from tea parties to murder mystery dinners, which allow guests to explore this beautiful and historic 19th-century property. But if you're a fan of the paranormal, the one you'll most want to check out is the Ghost Tour. Happening October 14th and 15th, this guided tour will relate stories of the strange and unexplained things that have happened in the Reeves Museum, along with some old Victorian superstitions. Tours regularly from 7 pm to 10 pm, but if you're really brave, you can take the Midnight Tour!
Escape from Blood Prison
100 Reformatory Rd., Mansfield, OH 44905
The Ohio State Reformatory is best known as the filming location for the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption. In October, however, they use the facility in a very different way. Escape from Blood Prison is an intense haunt experience that turns the walls of the reformatory into a waking nightmare. Guests find themselves surrounded by the ghosts of some of the prison's more violent offenders and witness to the horrors that occurred there. Recommended for ages 10 and up, this is a wild ride you won't soon forget.
Anchorage Mansion Tours
424 George St., Marietta, OH 45750
View this post on Instagram
Dating back to 1859, this 23-room mansion is filled with history, including connections to the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. It also has a history of haunted occurrences and spooky happenings. On Saturdays in October, you can take a guided tour of the history and hauntings in this mansion. Or, if you're brave, you can take a flashlight ghost tour on Friday nights beginning at 10 pm.
The Ridges, Athens Asylum
118 Ridges Circle, Athens, OH 45701
What better way to celebrate spooky season than with a trip to a mental asylum? The Ridges (formerly the Athens Lunatic Asylum) treated patients for over 100 years. In addition to the facilities, there are also three cemeteries, with nearly 2,000 graves of the patients who died there over the years. Tours of the asylum are full of history, mystery, and just a bit of spine-tingling creepiness. The Halloween season isn't complete without a visit.
Moonville Tunnel
Hope-Moonville Road, McArthur, OH 45651
View this post on Instagram
Not a house, not a haunt, just a cool place with a spooky vibe. Formerly a railroad line leading to the town of Moonville, the line no longer runs, and Moonville is a ghost town. The tunnel is one of the only things still remaining. You can hike to it across the remains of the railroad line, and it's a great place to explore and take photos. And legend has it, the tunnel is haunted by the ghosts of railroad workers who died there. If you look closely, you can still see them waving their lanterns.
Garrison Ghost Walk
29100 W. River Rd. (OH-65), Perrysburg, OH 43551
Fort Meigs was a military base during the War of 1812. Now, you can take immersive history tours there and experience the era for yourself. But the last two weekends in October, they have a different sort of tour. Guides will take you back in time to experience a variety of unexplained occurrences that have been reported over the years. Tours are conducted entirely by lantern light, with stories told around campfires. Tours begin at 7 pm, but if you want the full experience, take the 18+ night tour at 8:45 or 9 pm.
You Look Like You've Seen a Ghost!
