Very nice cabin. It had everything we needed!

Perfect for a weekend getaway or a week long stay, there's so much to do and see in this area. Hiking trails, swimming, fishing, boating, disc golf, pickleball...and everything is so well cared for maintained. Shower houses were extremely clean and in excellent condition. The full hookups were great, as was the water pressure, and our concrete slab was level as soon as we backed in. Some of our kids and grandkids came to visit on this outing and had a blast at the new modernized playground. We plan to come back to this campground to keep visiting the area, like Mohican State Park.

We enjoyed this park. They have sites for tents, campers, horse trailers, and nice cabins. They had activities for adults and children alike. You are not far from activities outside the park but plenty to do right there.

I will NEVER go camping again at Pleasant Hill Camp ground very rude and disrespectful people. Pleasant Hill Campground is owned by the same person who owns Charles Mill Marina Bob Schaefer. Both campgrounds are like retirement villages for RVs or people with money 💰 and that have seasonal passes. Eddie Butler and I cut our camping trip short and came home to night. We had a KAREN next to us call the park ranger on us b/c our dogs where not on a leash but where staying where they needed to be but then seen another dog and went to say hi. So this Morning 🌄 we decided to take the girls back home and we felt like it was NOT fair to them. We felt bad and were not having fun or happy because we missed our babies. Our dogs have NEVER been on a leash and NEVER will be on a leash. Our dogs a very well behaved and trained.

Met friends to go boating and got rained out. We went to Mohican Lodge to enjoy the lodge, getting out of the rain. We then had supper there. The food was great. They were very short-staffed, but they worked hard and made the experience enjoyable!
