Shawnee State Park Ohio River Campground & Marina

How does a modern campground on a former golf course sound? Shawnee State Park's Ohio River Campground & Marina redefines camping with a blend of contemporary facilities and outdoor recreation. Here, 80 full-hookup campsites with paved pads are complemented by amenities like a camp store, shower houses, a dog park, a splash pad, a 1-mile kayak water trail, and trails for walking or biking—perfect for families, pets, and adventure seekers.

This campground is uniquely located on 205 acres of repurposed land, with lush green space transformed into a pollinator habitat. While the campsites do not have direct Ohio River views yet, you’ll enjoy proximity to a two-mile river walk and quick access to the marina for fishing and boating. The adjacent Shawnee State Park offers hiking trails, archery ranges, disc golf, and more, nestled within Ohio's largest state forest (“Little Smokies”).

Located near Portsmouth, Ohio, the campground is conveniently situated for day trips or extended stays, blending nature with modern comforts for a memorable outdoor getaway.
