Findley State Park

Nice well rounded Ohio State Park. Over the last 10 years, slow but steady improvements have greatly made this place more popular. Improvements added over the last 10 years include: New electric service added to 90 sites, 18 hole disc golf, 9 mile single track mountain bike trail, new playground equipment, new sewage plant, new campground pavilion, remodeled nature center / store. In the next few months about 10-15 new full service sites are being constructed, Bathhouse #1 remodel will be completed by summer (2016) and the winter of 16' / 17' will see the lake drained and dredged. In the next year of so it is rumored some new cabins will be built. Now to the review. Of the 250+ sites, 90 have electric. 90% of the sites have shade of some sort. Of the shady sites, half are in a pine forest and the others are in a hard wood forest. All park roads are paved, while the campsite are hard packed stone / gravel. 95% of the sites are level. Fairly good spacing between sites. Only issue are some sites have trees close to the campsite pads making it harder to open slides and or awnings. None of the sites are on the 93 acre / non-moterized lake, but many are a short 100' path to the waters edge. In the spring, many of the hiking trails, disc golf and mtn. biking trails stay muddy because of the flat terrain. What once was a lightly used park has now become much more popular, especially with 90 50 amp electric sites. The area and towns around the is farm country. The nearby town (Wellington) has everything you need as far as gas, groceries and one of the best hardware stores anywhere. About 1 mile north of the park entrance. Findley is located about 20 miles off the major freeways on nice secondary roads. Look on their calendar of events put on by the "Friends of Findley" group and the park staff.
