Zeller's Beach campground
Zeller's Beach
There are several nearby points of interest, including the Shawnee State Forest and the Serpent Mound, both of which are just a short drive away from the campsite. The Shawnee State Forest offers visitors an opportunity to hike, fish, and hunt, while the Serpent Mound is a historic Native American site that is believed to be over 2,000 years old.
The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads. The site is first-come-first-serve, so it is suggested to arrive early to secure a spot. There are 10 campsites available, each with a maximum capacity of 6 people. The area is pet-friendly, so visitors can bring their furry friends along for the adventure.
An interesting fact about the area is that it was once a thriving river port in the 19th century, with steamboats carrying passengers and cargo up and down the Ohio River. Today, visitors can still see remnants of the old port, such as the historic locks and dams.
The best time of year to visit is between May and September when the temperatures range from 60°F to 85°F. The summer months are perfect for swimming and fishing in the Ohio River, and visitors can enjoy the beautiful fall foliage during the autumn months. Overall, Zeller's Beach Camping Area is a must-visit for anyone looking for a peaceful camping trip with stunning views and outdoor adventures.
