Campgrounds and RV parks near Duncan Falls, OH

Duncan Falls sits along the Muskingum River in Muskingum County, just south of Zanesville in southeastern Ohio. The area puts RV travelers within a short drive of two state parks, a full-hookup private campground, and a cluster of primitive lakeside sites on reclaimed mining land, giving families a range of options for a single trip. Dillon State Park, northwest of Duncan Falls near Nashport, is the largest developed campground in the area and the go-to base for boaters, swimmers, and cabin renters.
