We rate them as the best, when compared with National Parks, National Forests, BLM, TVA, military bases, State Parks, county/city/fairgrounds parks, private campgrounds, homes of friends, Wal-Marts and truck stops. (We do get around!) Being that they are designed by engineers, there is often something weird about campsites, like the one where each site has its own water, but ours and others were 75 feet from the site.

Its very clean, restrooms and showers clean and free. They have dishwashing stations near the restrooms and hookups are for water and electric - 30 amps. Down the trail are sites without hookups for a slightly lower cost per night and fairly well spaced apart. The trails are very easy for biking/hiking and follow the river.

Have spent a lot of time in ones in AR especially. Always clean and usually larger site than a typical RV park. In the off season there can be times when we were the only rv in the park. Lots of wildlife too. As mentioned before Golden Age and America the Beautiful give 50% off. Love COE parks. Have spent a lot of time in ones in AR especially.

The sites are large and private and we moored our boat within view of our site. Walk-in primitive campsites are also available. It is a large lake and has areas for quiet fishing, water skiing, and swimming. The rest rooms on the day use side of the lake are clean. We did not use the campground restrooms.

We just stayed there last week. There were more NEW COA trucks and personnel running around doing nothing the whole time we were there. They were everywhere, but not very helpful. We stayed at 3 different Ohio State parks this year and they are short handed everywhere. Some of the rangers have 3 different parks to take care of. Hummmm Still love Mill Creek and will go back, it's half price for us old people. Love the COA here in North Eastern Ohio. We just stayed there last week.

We've been there before to visit with family, but have not camped. We really enjoyed the entire experience, although we don't have a boat. Boating is a big part of what goes on there. People were friendly and it was quiet and peaceful. The sites are quite varied in size and available hook ups. There's some elevation in the park and some of the sites are not completely level. They continue to make improvements to the park. We plan to go back again.

We have stayed at too many to list. All are a 10 on our rating scale. We agree with all the above, that is the 1st place I go to look for a campsite. We have stayed at too many to list.
