The former Park Office at John Bryan State Park has been renovated and is the site of the new Camp Office. This allows for additional floor space for a greater variety of camping supplies and informative displays, as well as a more adequate check-in station for campers and park guests. With the change in location of the campground office, a new access road to the campground has been constructed. This new entrance is located just beyond the new campground office.
The family camp area at John Bryan has 60 camp sites which include 50 non-electric sites and 10 electric sites. The sites are partially shaded and each is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring. Latrines, drinking water and a dump station are available. Pets are permitted on All Camp Sites.
Pets must stay on a leash and be attended at all times. Limit is two pets per site.
You can now make reservations for Ohio State Park family campsites on-line 24 hours a day or by calling 1-866-OHIO-PARKS. Reservations may be made up to 6 months in advance of your arrival.
