Astico Park

Camped here mid-April, when they opened for the year. Hiked here a few times over late fall and winter and fell in love. I saw a lot of deer and had beautiful water views. When camping, we stayed right on the water and had quite a surprise how great the birding was. Be careful in summer, for it can be buggy on the water. Fishing isn't to shabby either. We have tried below the Damn in spring and off the bridge. There are plenty of places to park around the park and spend the day or week. From what we have heard and experienced, it is a pretty quiet place, and dogs are welcome.

This is a nice park that has been upgraded in the past few years. There are several bathrooms, including a few that appear to be recently built. There is a nice hiking trail that runs close to the river and runs more or less in a circle for about 2 1/2 miles, The trail is well marked with much of it with fresh mulch and has a generally smooth surface. There are several spots of elevation change to burn a few extra calories. The river views are pretty scenic, including the old bridge area. The park has many camping and picnicking areas. Entrance is free, camping has a fee. Overall 4 1/2 stars.

We did the right thing this year and parked our Class A in the proper place for Beer Camp and it was fantastic. Also I LOVE all the wonderful places to walk 🚶‍♀️

A few sites have decent shade, look on dodge cty website. Quiet, only 5-6 minutes from Columbus

We found a level paved site with 30 amp electric, dump station, clean hot shower, clean restroom, freshly mowed grass, saw Sheriff's deputy patrolling, felt safe, stayed 2 nights, would come back. Camphost couple very friendly, eager to help us register. Saw lots of flies but it's in farm country, so I expected it to be buggy in summer.

Very nice park with lots of things to do. We had a wonderful time and everyone was kind and welcoming. A side note, I believe they will be starting construction on several projects at this park soon, so it may be a little more active than normal, I believe they hope to have projects finished in July.

It's a great little campsite on the Crawfish River. Pretty big with a cool playground, a fresh water spring and places to fish. Has a dock too for boating needs. Could have a water tap at the sites (that would be helpful) for tent campers. But if you have a pop-up, trailer or R.V. with water then you're golden. My kids love this place and it's my go to locally to get out of the city. I definitely recommend it
