The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is waiving campsite fees for the night of Friday, Nov. 24, to encourage families to spend time enjoying their Black Friday outdoors instead of in shopping malls and stores. The #OptOutside campaign started by REI struck a chord with many of our visitors, and we wanted to thank all of our Ohio State Park campers for their continued support.

This promotion includes all campsites at open state park campgrounds. It does not include cabins, lodges or other rentals. For a complete list of available campgrounds and the amenities that are open, visit parks.ohiodnr.gov/wintercamping.

If individuals make a reservation online and there is a minimum stay requirement, that requirement still stands as well as the reservation fee. However, if individuals walk in to any location that has availability, no minimum stay is required.

Call the individual park office with further questions. For more information on this deal as well as other discounts such as the Veterans/Active Military November special, go to parks.ohiodnr.gov/discounts.

Send us your news — of an announcement, event,
club news, fundraiser – whatever! It’s easy to do online.
