Walnut Creek Campground & Resort - Chillicothe, Ohio

Campground was nice during the week for the most part. Lots of vehicles going through and side by sides. Stayed in a cabin for a week, said everything included even called asking. Was 6 of us and only 6 towels and washcloths for the whole week. When we could actually get someone at the office they brought some once or twice if they remembered. So we had to go buy some so we could shower. Windows didn’t have screens (maybe one did) so we couldn’t open the windows unless we wanted more bug inside. Pots and pans were horrible all the Teflon scraping and peeling off so not safe to use.
Also said firewood included and some was but if you used what was at the site you had to buy more (also would have brought but site says included) lake is more like a pond, the fisherman with us we’re rather disappointed with that. Pool was green and disgusting so we didn’t even step foot in that.
Staff was friendly when we spoke with them.
Hot tub was very nice and peaceful in the evenings.

While trying to make a reservation was hung up on, then the line was busy when I tried to call back. Next day saw a FB post from their site so asked why I was hung up on. "Author" just put ? So I went into more detail, basically what I explained above. Then they blocked me on FB too. I have no idea why they act this way since we were discussing cell phone coverage at the time. Wish the owner would contact me and explain. Don't want to go to BBB but their behavior is unacceptable. I can't believe a business operates this way. You have my contact info from 3 phone calls and I filled out the reservation request form on your site so you have contact info there too. Edit, wish I had read all the negative reviews below before wasting so much time on this horrible run place.

Stayed for 2 nights in the Family Tree Cabin. Very nice cabin, nice shaded area for grill and fire ring. Wifi worked well, there is little to no mobile phone service so wifi was appreciated.

The pond has boats that are free to use.

Firewood was $10, I thought that was high, but I took $10 worth and had a good fire.

Hot tub was nice to see. It worked as expected.

The golf cart trails are not as advertised, do not expect to take your golf cart on these trails, most of the trails are only suitable for ATV and would be dangerous on a golf cart. The map available on the website is useless and outdated.

The staff was friendly, we had forgotten sugar, and the nice lady at the office supplied us with enough to get through our stay.

It is a large campground with a lot of hills, so the golf cart was useful in getting around. We visited mid-week so it was very quiet and peaceful. You can tell the owners put a lot of work into this place as it is clean and well maintained.

Overall, I would visit again.

We camped for a week here as part of a large family group. My family was in our camper while most others were in cabins. Here are our thoughts:

Pros: Very quiet campground

Very affordable

Kayaks and rowboats are free to use on the little lake.

Beautiful setting

Big pool with lots of seating

A Haunted Woods trail in the woods was kind of fun to go through

Cabins were really nice

The bathroom building was clean, and had nice hot water

The paved roads were nice

Friendly staff

Reasonable golf cart rental rates

Wifi in cabins good

Cons: Not a walking campground - it's very hilly

Non seasonal trailer sites are in a field with zero shade!

Office had strange/unknown hours ( a sign with hours would have been helpful)

The pool area was nice, but the pool had some serious algae issues. It was very, very green to brown. It shows it green on the website, too, so it's not a new issue, perhaps?

Wifi at campfires almost none existent. Wifi at pool acceptable.

Cell phone coverage very limited at campsite and cabins.

Overall, not bad. It seems to be a nice place to be a seasonal camper. Great location with lots to do nearby and very scenic and peaceful.

We are returning campers yearly to Walnut Creek. The grounds are very well kept. The owners and their family are delightful folks. We thoroughly enjoy our stay every single time. Never an issue. ❤️

Very well kept clean campground. Hosts are very helpful and proud of their property and business. Reasonably priced, 7 miles off the highway, so nights are quiet and yet convenient to the highway.

Very nice campground and the evening times were peaceful and quiet. Thank you for the wonderful weekend while breaking in/using our new RV. I look forward to coming back.
