Ohio Parks Visitor Reviews
Not Happy with the upkeep of this site - Remembering back as a kid i had found memories of this place. Recently visited and it was sad to see that it has been neglected. Please tell me why??
Childhood memories - For most of my childhood, Crane Creek was a destination greatly anticipated. Several times a year, our dad would take us to swim, to walk the beach and trails, or just to take in the sights. From the observatory to the museum, from the beach to the trails, many happy memories were made here. We passed the tradition on to our sons when they were smaller, and now as adults they continue to enjoy all that Crane Creek has to offer. Thanks for the memories! Nice Lake - Not too many people around; surprising for being so close to Columbus.Loved the outdoor movie and sassafras - we spent over a week in one of your 2 bedroom cabins we thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace, the closed in porch and all the other amenities. we had fresh made sassafras tea and watched the outdoor movies. It was just a time we will always remember. Family Memories ! - Our family has been going to Harrison Lake for over thirty eight years. We have taught our kids to how ride there bikes, and many camping skills.
As they are now grown Adults they are making there own family memories at Harrison Lake I rate this campground as one of best to make family memories! HAPPY CAMPING information - I used to go as a child would love to take my family do they still do the whispering Christmas if so what times and what days. Do they still do the meetings with Santa and what days and times is that. Thank you in advance for the info. Great Park! - One of my favorite Ohio parks! You can find lots of additional information on the web site.Family Reunion - Thank you for mowing for our croquet game, having the electric running in the shelter, with no problems, and cleaning the portable pot! We will back next year and maybe more. Sincerely, The Quisenberry Family. dappointed - MY NIECE CALLED TO MAKE A RESERVATION FOR OCT.1O&11. SHE WAS TOLD THE SITES SHE WANTED WERE TAKEN 200 202 204. SO WE GOT IN OUR CAR AND DROVE UP THERE TO PICK SOME OTHER SITES OUT. WE GET THERE AND ARE TOLD THOSE SITES ARE NOT TAKEN. SO WE DONT PICK ANOTHER SITES. WE COME HOME BECAUSE WE CANT BOOK AT THE CAMPGROUND ITSELF. WE CALL AND ARE TOLD THOSE SITES HAVE ALREADY BEEN BOOKED. BIG WASTE OF TIME AND GAS MONEY.THEY DONT HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER AT ALL.Boat Docks - Alum creek boat docks are in the worst shape I have seen them in years. Now instead of fixing them they are going to restick the length of the boats on the docks to 24ft from now on instead of fixing them. They just spent who knows how much money on the parking lot that is still not finished. It was suppose to be done by July 4th but that has been here and gone and the parking lot is still not finished. The boat docks make money every year for the state and they still refuse to do anything about them at all. Just goes to show how the state can waist money and not care at all.2014 Beach Fest - I participated in the Beach Fest this year and had a wonderful time! It was a perfect day for the festivities. The only thing I would change is the addition of more food vendors. The lines were extremely long to acquire food/drink - my wait was over an hour! Everything else about the festival was perfect in every way.CAMPING SITE 26- TURTLE HAVEN - Went camping last weekend at site 26 which in on the lake it was the most beautiful site- with the perfect lake view, we got up in the morning and sat by the lake and watched all the turtles, there isnt much fishing there but catch a couple turtles. The site is very large, it was a quiet camping area. Shower houses were very clean and hot water.. was impressed with everything. One thing that was disappointing went to rent canoes and they only had 2 for the whole camping area, so they were all rented out -first come first serve, didnt like that part and kids were bummed.Fun time worth the money to have the lakeview.
