Although there aren't a lot of hiking trails here, hikers will find the few trails offer a variety of scenes along with some interesting wildlife. Birds, insects and the occasional deer. Walking along the Ohio River gives hikers some views not found in some other State Parks. We saw barges traversing it & kudos are due their captain(s) because it's something unseen in NW Ohio where we're from. It's a laid back park with plenty of roomy sites, which are very well maintained. Portsmouth sports a wall along its outskirts dedicated to their famous local athletes. Among them is one devoted to Chuck Ealey who played for the University of Toledo Rockets in the mid to late 60s. Amazingly, Chuck had never lost a game from his high school days into college. Even more amazing was his college record reflected his perfection by way of also not losing one game. Toledo's record with Ealey was 35 - 0; regular games along with bowl games. He wasn't inducted into college's HOF until 2002. A travesty if ever there was one. A very nice relaxing park. Stay here & suffer no disappointments.

Shawnee Ohio River is a great little park. It has 80 full hookups, a shower house, a playground and splash pad for kids. It has a bike path, park store, and dump station. This park is only seven miles from Shawnee State Park, and the lodge where you can go swimming. Portsmouth is a cute little town close by. They have several restaurants a grocery store. Lots of antique shops, and the flood wall mural. Take a drive over the bridge to Kentucky. Or drive the Ohio River scenic by-way. If you want a day trip check out Rocky Fork state park and catch some lunch or dinner at the porch carryout and grill in Hillsboro Ohio. The food was fantastic! Have a great time!

Great place for a day trip or vacation. The lodge is beautiful with a balcony to view the scenery. There are cabins and camping sites. The campgrounds offer a small store with a gift shop, boats to rent. There is also miniature golf, disc golf, hiking trails, a nature center and a historic cabin set up as a museum. Picnic area is by the campgrounds and plenty of swimming spots.

Great a getaway place. We spent 2 nights here in March 2025. In our cabin, internet and cable didn’t work, exactly what we wanted.

The new Ohio River Campground is a lovely and well thought out development. The sites are decent sized, paved and have water, electric and sewer on site. It has a good sized bathroom, shower house and laundry building. The amenities are even available during winter! There is also disc golf, archery, kayak loop, splash pad, dog park, camp store and trails on site. The one trail is paved and relatively flat. There is noise from the road and from the train, but those weren't that bad. Also, the picnic tables are on cement pads and are secured.
