Tent Camping near Jackson Township, Ohio

Winona Lake Campground

27 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Winona Lake Campground in Lima, Ohio, offers 27 full-hookup back-in RV sites and seven tent sites on a private lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Standard and back-in categories join mini-golf, sports courts, and inflatable water toys in Allen County's agricultural west-central Ohio. Twenty-seven back-in sites run in back-in and standard back-in categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A private lake anchors the property for swimming and fishing, with a pond, mini-golf, sports courts, tennis, basketball, and inflatable water toys filling the rest. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which keeps rates accessible for a family campground built around the water. Pets are welcome. A private lake at a park this size is the real asset — 27 RV sites sharing a lake means it never feels crowded, and the swimming and fishing stay genuinely usable through a summer weekend in a way that larger properties struggle to match. Lima sits in the flat, productive farm country of west-central Ohio, roughly midway between Dayton and Toledo on I-75. The Allen County Museum, the Lima Symphony, and the Ottawa River corridor are close, with Grand Lake St. Marys and Indian Lake within a short drive for larger-water recreation. Summer is decisively the season in Ohio, when the lake and the water toys are running. Reserve ahead for June through August weekends, with quiet availability through the spring and fall shoulders.

Walnut Grove RV Resort in Seneca Township, OH, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 108 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet.

The river view sites are the ones to request. With 108 tent sites against 49 RV sites, this is a large-scale campground that takes RVs rather than an RV resort. Laundry, a general store, a dump station, a recreation center, a game room, a pavilion, and visiting food trucks cover the rest. Pets are welcome.

Camp Sabroske

2 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Camp Sabroske in Oak Harbor, OH, offers 2 RV sites, 2 cabins, and 2 tent sites, with 20 and 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Both RV sites are back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: service runs 20 and 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A bathhouse with showers is on the property, and pets are welcome. For a two-site campground the water access is substantial: boat docks, a fishing pier, boat storage, a pond, and an outdoor pool, with fishing, swimming, boating, and paddle boats, plus a playground. Oak Harbor sits in the Lake Erie western basin — one of the most significant migratory bird corridors in North America, and the reason serious birders come from across the continent every spring. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Two RV sites during spring migration means reserving as far ahead as the camp will allow.
