Jared and
We have a pop up camper and all we need is a pump for water, a outhouse, fire ring, and dumpster. I don't want a large campground I have tried Indiana's, Ohio's, and Michigan's state sites and maybe I am not looking in the right place. I am from Oregon and used to BLM camping you pull in put your money in a slot and usually don't see more than one or two people the whole time you are there. We want to go camping next year we didn't go this year because we are sick of crowded places.
I dont want electric, flushing toilets, a water hookup, showers, a pool. I really dont care if we have to bring in our own water and take out our own trash. I want a fire ring and a outhouse.

Hi!
This may not help much, I don't have an Ohio map in front of me .I moved here (Oregon) from Ohio, and remember what a struggle it was to find quiet camping. Hocking Hills is great, or the park near Cleves (Miami something Park? less great, but site 13 is quiet) Other than that, not sure. They have a different idea of camping in Ohio, less wildernessy, far less primitive (they don't have much protected land left) and private. I know what you mean, the facilities are unimportant if the site and park are about nature loveliness. The area around Blue Creek, near Peebles, has some cool caves and streams, maybe there are parks in the region. Good Luck!
By the way, I am going tent/car camping tomorrow, want to head away from Portland to a warm lake, but am weary of RT. 26 and 84, and the Mt. Hood area. Any ideas or places that stand out as stellar /low elevation (we want a warm quiet lake) within 2 or 3 hours that you recall?
I do remember heading out of Ohio to fulfill nature needs. Hocking Hills is a highlight, but may be far way for you, but Red River Gorge in KY is lovely, and has good tent camping for those who want to be away from RV'S and other things of man. I spent a week there once, resting after the Appalachian Trail. Lots to see, cool rock formations, and creeks. Best to you!.

Christina
My boyfriend and I are looking for camp sites (tent camping) in OR. They need to be affordable, have restroom facilities, showers (would be nice but not mandatory), a fire pit, and most of all FUN!! We are considering Loon Lake Recreation Center, Rogue River, or Mt. Hood...are these any good?? Any suggestions on specific campgrounds would be appreciated! Thanks! :o)
Answer
I have done tons of camping in Oregon. The only public camp grounds that I have stayed at that has every thing you are asking for and I can say anything about from experience is these. Cove Palisades State Park in Central Oregon. Fort Steven's State Park near Astoria, and Barview Jetty County Park outside of Tillamook. All of my camping experience in or around Mount Hood has been off the beaten path and more "primitive"
The three above are all tremendously fun. All three have everything you are asking for, including showers. My personal favorite is the one at Barview Jetty. Here is why. I am a fishermen and the fishing is good here. You can catch various types of fish from the jetty. You can even buy a device that attaches to you fishing pole to catch crab. I would make a seafood feast of fish and crab at the end of the day for dinner. They have fish cleaning stations here that make it easy to do. Just up the road from the campground (walking distance) is a small store where you can buy bait, beer and even pizza! I will post links for all three that tell you more specifics about them, what there is to do, how much they cost, etc. Have fun!
