Perched high above the rolling waters of Little Beaver Creek, Beaver Creek Campground invites you to escape into a world of towering hardwoods and peaceful valley views. Whether you're planning a family camping adventure, bringing your horses to explore the trails, or gathering your group in one of the rustic Sherman cabins, you'll find your perfect basecamp here—just remember to reserve your spot ahead of time.
Facilities include a family campground (electric and non-electric sites), two Sherman cabins, a separate equestrian camp with primitive sites, and two tent-only group campsites.
Historical Significance
The park includes a Pioneer Village centered on Gaston's Mill and preserves Sandy and Beaver Canal remnants including Lusk Lock. The area features historic structures and interpretive resources highlighting 19th‑century local industry and canal history.Weather and SeasonsThe sweet spot for visiting runs from late spring through fall, when the trails beckon hikers and the forest puts on its spectacular seasonal show—from spring wildflowers to autumn's fiery foliage. While the campground welcomes visitors year-round, winter explorers should note that from November 1st through May 1st, water service pauses for the season (though the dump station stays open for your convenience).
Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking up beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods, sunlight filtering through the leaves as Little Beaver Creek murmurs in the valley below. Your campsite sits nestled on forested hillsides where the terrain drops away to reveal stunning gorge views and ancient sandstone formations that tell stories millions of years old. As you explore, you'll discover remnants of the historic Sandy and Beaver Canal winding through the park, while trails lead you deeper into one of Ohio's most scenic wooded valleys—a landscape so beautiful it earned National Scenic River designation.
