Cowan Lake State Park Campgrounds & Cabins

My wife and I have been coming here for a few years now for the fall campout. Each year is a great time and we always look forward to it. The whole place is great and family friendly. The whole camp ground shuts down an hour before the trick or treat begins, and then all the families walk from one sight to the next taking in all of the decorations (which range from scary to festive and friendly). If you are looking to come for the trick or treat time, be sure to look online and book well in advance! These sights go fast.

Absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the park. It was very clean all the sites are larger and we didn't have to unhook our trailer to park. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Overall a really nice campground! The only up front gripe I had was that our fire pit was awkwardly far from the actual parking spot. Not sure if this is standard practice for the other spots. Nice bathhouse, friendly staff, good boat launch for kayaks but a little small and busy for a boat. The lake is huge and beautiful. We got to see a group of sail boats and lots of wildlife while kayaking/fishing. The property was well maintained and there is a small store, though it wasn’t open during our visit for some reason.

We stayed in the first loop with electric only. Lots is shade in that area. The full hook up area looks to be in full sun. Rest rooms need to be redone. Highlight was finding the lotus field on the lake that goes on and on. Yellow flowers were spectacular. Don’t miss it!

I’ve camped here multiple times, and there are many quiet, sizable spots (which is what I look for in a campground). The grounds are also clean and well maintained. It’s one of my favorite state parks, especially in that area—close to many of the Miami Valley bike trials. I just spent the past five days at Cowan Lake and want to give a shout-out to Mark on the maintenance/grounds crew. He went above and beyond when my Jeep wouldn’t start and helped me find a good shop (Bisig) in Wilmington to help. He and others who work for the park demonstrated their kindness and conscientiousness more than once while I was there. Much appreciated!

Most definitely one of our favorite campgrounds. The volunteers are awesome. It's family friendly with lots of activities. And the camp store food is pretty good! We make sure to camp here at least twice a year!

A great peaceful camping trip for family or friends. Very clean like always. I try to go here for my first trip of the year. Did encounter a bad neighbor but that is the luck of going to any campground. As a state park it is one of the best in ohio for relaxation and fishing on the beautiful lake.
