Camping near Bolivar, Ohio
Bolivar sits in Tuscarawas County in northeast Ohio, along the Tuscarawas River about ten miles south of Canton. Atwood Lake is approximately 10 miles east of I-77, reached from Exit 93, the Bolivar/Zoar State Route 212 exit, which makes the village a convenient staging point for RV travelers coming off the interstate.
The area combines lake-based recreation with Revolutionary War history. Fort Laurens was the only fortification built within the current boundaries of Ohio during the American Revolutionary War, constructed in 1778 on the Tuscarawas River near what is now Bolivar, and the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, a recreational trail over 80 miles long, passes through the site.
Campground options within a short drive range from full-hookup family resorts to lake parks with hundreds of sites. Canton / East Sparta KOA Holiday, Camp Tuscazoar Foundation Inc, Baylor Beach Park; Water Park and Campground, Woods Tall Timber Lake Resort, and Atwood Lake Park Muskingum Watershed Conservancy Dist all draw RV travelers looking for a base near Amish Country, the towpath trail system, and the Muskingum Watershed lakes.
Things to do near Bolivar
