Thanks for getting in touch. Not many folks know where in the heck Pickerington is!
Had to comment about you remembering the camp store at Mohican... Yah... I remember it really well! That's where I fell flat on may face last year 50 minutes into our 5 day stay... Fell over the bike rack. Too focused on my grape slushy I guess... Trip to the ER in Ashland, broken nose (I face plant like a boss!) stitches, no canoeing or "nature water" for me because it was considered an open fracture... Good pain meds... I can't get within 50 feet of a bike rack now without my kids sounding the "alarm" - LOL! At least they are watching out for their clumsy ole dad... Ok, hijack over with my broken nose story. Back to you favorite campgrounds, or the next hijack. :)

We certainly plan on trying out Salt Fork. We have drove through a few times and my sister and brother in law didn't care for most of the sites because they had a roll off/drop off the back of them. I do agree for the most part. I know G was pretty level but the weekends we have tried to get in there all of the sites were booked (keep in mind we normally camp together and usually decide to go a week or two out from our arrival date). We both have kids and 3 out of the 4 don't listen or don't pay attention. the 4th has a mind of her own and likes to wonder off. After the tree branch falling on our old camper, we all get a little nervous about what our site looks like and what is around. The one thing that was really cool was when we drove through there in early April, there had to have been at least 40 to 50 deer wandering the campgrounds. There were only a few people back there and the deer seemed to just wander around and were not bothered by us driving right beside of them.
 
Glad to hear Mohican has a pool (kids will love it). I haven't been there in probably 25 years. Only thing I remember is the camp store.
 
I will PM you so we don't hijack this thread. Had some questions for you on other parks.

Most any of the Kentucky State Resort Parks.  There are several, and we have had good experiences at all of them we have visited.  They all have campgrounds as well as lodges which have rooms and good country meals.  Many of them are rustic, but are well run and friendly folks.   If I had to pick one, probably Carter Caves...small, quiet, remote, beautiful.
 
 
 
(I could be shameless and mention Singing Hills in Cave City, which my brother and his wife own and run...small, quiet, great stop over near Mammoth Cave, but that would be a biased report and so I won't do that!)  :facepalm:

Mohican and Hocking hills are the two busiest parks. I do tend to book reservations as far in advance as allowed (6 months right now).-I know that Mohican has a pool as well.
-My camper is 36 feet, we just take it slow at Hocking Hills, normally try to book a site down by the water tower. That loop around the tower is tight, but manageable.
-Not all sites/loops are the same at Salt Fork. The back half of the "G" loop can have fairly shady sites. It all depends on the site you get, Google Earth is your friend... As for the Drop offs?? I don't get it, maybe in some loops, but G is almost perfectly flat all around. I know ther are stories about deaths on hiking trials. Some of the trails here and at other parks give stern warnings about staying on marked trails, heed those signs and you will be perfectly safe (IMHO).

I'll second Carter Caves. Even though we had a Skunk die and spray our campsite the day before we arrived. LOL. Not sure if the smell dissipated quickly, or if we just got used to it...
In Ohio, I'd like to offer up two places: Old Mans Cave/ Hocking Hills State Park, and Mohican State Park. Both are true natural wonders with a variety of outdoor activities in and around. If you can't live without a cell phone, they may not be the place for you, which is fine, it leaves more spots open for me! LOL.
Ok, a third State Park in Ohio: Salt Fork State Park, Ohio's largest park if I'm not mistaken, lots of water opportunities if you are a boater.

Wait a second. What did he do wrong? He just went for a little swim. He was just trying to sober up after being over served. It's not his fault.
Ok. I tried to type that with a straight face.
Idiot!

and if it's a late afternoon/night time purchase, it could take up to two days to get to your resort.
 
Also, if you are going to be in a park for at least 3 hours after the purchase, you can do front gate delivery, and pick it up on your way out of the park.

I'm guessing that if you're in a big enough accident to affect your propane, it's not going to matter much if it was on or off.

The Fort is not going anywhere.  It is written into the Disney By-Laws, ever since Walt landed his seaplane on Bay Lake and set about mowing the grass around the Settlement to have a place to camp.  He leaned the mower against a fast growing tree and decided at that moment that the land he had just mowed should be made into a campground in perpetuity.  That very next day, he and Roy celebrated by diving into the nearby swimmin hole.  Unfortunately, Walt contracted a brain eating amoeba that day.  Doctors tried freezing his brain to halt the spread of the amoeba but it was to no avail.  Lucky for us, Roy carried out Walt's plans, and to this day we have the Fort to enjoy. 

LOL. I'd love to meet Lou and make good on that hug!

Hi!  
 
Noobs here,
 
Myself (Mike) , DW, DD, DS...
 
Thanks to all the information we found on this site we had a great first trip to Disney and to the Fort this year.  I'm hoping my very low key first posting will not get me yelled at for not joining sooner.  
 

 
Since camping for us is done for the year and we can't get back to the Fort till School is out  The kids and I put together our own Mickey Lamp over the weekend.  (Thanks again to the plans I found here!)  I used a string of color changing LED rope lights I found a Home Depot complete with remote control (you can just see the receiver eye of the remote at the top of the post.)  Made this for fairly easy disassembly and storage in the TT so we can take it with us on all our camping trips.  Still need to paint, and, decide how to keep it stable at the base (staking or getting another base/milk jug...)  It's already occupied a place of honor in the Living Room.
