2025 Palomino Travel Trailer
First off, let me start by saying Jared is considered by my family as a Super Host. I’ve never been camping before, and this was our first experience and he showed us everything that was need to be done with The RV. He took his time with us and he was very pleasant and he made us feel so comfortable. I really appreciate him and his wife & warm, welcome they gave us. Everything was wonderful. The weather kinda didn’t cooperate, but that is another story. We had a wonderful time the wife and I enjoying Camping life. We look forward to doing this again and if anybody ever thinks about renting a RV from this wonderful family, 5 stars + across the board we really had a wonderful time at Mohican State Park in Ohio Thank You so much for..

Shirley was amazing to work with!! We had rented another camper from a different host (Joey) on this site and when we arrived at the campsite there was no camper! Shirley swooped in in the eleventh hour to save us! She bent over backwards to accommodate us so our weekend wasn’t ruined!! Her communication was top notch and the camper was exactly what we needed! THANK YOU SHIRLEY!!! Highly recommend!

Mike and Kim’s cozy camper was exactly as described. Power awning and power tongue jack were awesome! Detailed rundown on how everything worked at pick up, and even checked in a couple days into the trip to make sure there were no issues.

We rented this trailer from David for a work event/music festival and it was absolutely amazing. The air conditioning alone was enough to make the entire process SO worth it in the 90 degree summer heat. We had an amazing time and wish we would have had the time and days to use more of the amenities he offered!

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Mount Gilead, OH
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Mount Gilead, OH?
An RV rental in Mount Gilead is one of the more affordable ways to explore central Ohio. On RVezy, motorhomes near Mount Gilead average roughly $200 to $275 per night, while travel trailers and fifth wheels typically run about $100 to $150 per night. Many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent off weekly and monthly stays, which is the easiest way to score a cheap RV rental Mount Gilead travelers love. Pro tip: book a midweek getaway in May or September when Mt. Gilead State Park is quieter, prices dip, and the Morrow County back roads are at their most peaceful.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mount%20Gilead%2C%20OhioDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Mount Gilead?
Great news for first-timers: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Mount Gilead, OH. Ohio does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal motorhomes or towable trailers used recreationally, no matter the size. You will need to be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and you will confirm your identity right through the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home license and you are set to roll out toward State Route 95 and the rolling Morrow County countryside.
bmv.ohio.gov/dl-cdl-about.aspxWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Mount Gilead, OH?
You can book with real peace of mind. Every RV rental in Mount Gilead booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway to the moment you return. The protection plan covers most damage to the vehicle, and you can choose from different coverage levels at checkout to match your comfort zone. Pick your level, pack the cooler, and point the rig toward Mt. Gilead State Park.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my plans change?
Booking is low risk. RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy for every Mount Gilead RV rental, and it includes a full money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in a rig with confidence. Refund eligibility after that depends on how far out your trip start date is. You can review the full, current policy any time in the RVezy Help Center before or after you book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Mount Gilead RV trip?
Absolutely, and Mount Gilead is a wonderful place to camp with a dog. Many hosts list pet-friendly RV rental Mount Gilead options on RVezy, just tick the Pet-Friendly filter when you search. Mt. Gilead State Park welcomes leashed pets on hiking trails and at the campground, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Columbus North offers pet-friendly RV sites as well. Pro tip: the trail loop around Mt. Gilead's upper and lower lakes is shaded and short, perfect for a morning walk with the pup before breakfast.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Mount Gilead?
Yes, and it is the easiest way to start your trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery Mount Gilead travelers love: they will drop the RV at Mt. Gilead State Park, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Columbus North on Township Road 99, or a private property, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Just use the Delivery filter when searching. Delivery fees are set by each host and depend on distance from town. Pro tip: delivery is a game changer if it is your first time renting an RV, because you skip towing and backing in entirely.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkHow do mileage limits work, and can I find unlimited mileage rentals?
You have great options. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, and many Mount Gilead listings include a generous daily allowance (often 100 to 150 miles per day) plus the option of an RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal if you plan to road trip. Stationary stays at Mt. Gilead State Park (just six miles east of town on State Route 95) barely use any miles at all. If you are planning longer hops to Mohican State Park or Cedar Point, message the host before booking to confirm the package that fits your route. Pro tip: ask about a delivery-and-park option to skip mileage entirely.
transportation.ohio.gov/programs/scenic-byways/byways-homeWhere are the best campgrounds near Mount Gilead, OH?
You are spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Mount Gilead start with Mt. Gilead State Park Campground (4119 State Route 95), a 181-acre wooded park with 59 sites, 22 full hookups, concrete pads, two small lakes, and clean modern bathhouses. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Columbus North, on 76 acres at 4185 Township Road 99, is the family pick with pools, a Wibit water obstacle course, and full hookup pull-thrus. Within an easy drive you also have Mohican Adventures Campground in Loudonville (about 35 minutes east) and Alum Creek State Park near Delaware (about 35 minutes south). Pro tip: reserve Mt. Gilead State Park through reserveohio.com up to six months ahead for summer weekends.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Mount Gilead?
Mount Gilead is a true four-season destination, with the sweet spot running May through mid-October. Late spring brings 65 to 75 degree afternoons and wildflowers along the Lakeview Trail. Summer (June to August) averages highs in the low to mid-80s with warm evenings, perfect for kayaking the upper lake. Fall is the local favorite: crisp 60-degree days, fewer bugs, and brilliant maple and oak color through Morrow County in early to mid-October. Mt. Gilead State Park stays open year-round, so winter campers with cold-weather rigs can enjoy ice fishing and cross-country skiing. Pro tip: book the last weekend of September for peak foliage without peak crowds.
weather.gov/iln/I have never rented an RV before, will I be able to handle it?
You absolutely will, and the Mount Gilead area is one of the friendliest places in Ohio to learn. Every RVezy host gives you a full orientation at pickup, showing you how to operate the slide-outs, water, propane, generator, and tanks before you drive off. You can also message the host with any question before you book. Morrow County is flat to gently rolling, with quiet state highways like SR-95 and SR-19 that are ideal for getting comfortable behind the wheel. Pro tip: choose a host who offers delivery to Mt. Gilead State Park, you can skip driving entirely on your first trip and just enjoy the campsite.
transportation.ohio.gov/What happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Ohio booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire, dead battery, or lockout is a quick phone call away. Your host is also a direct message away in the RVezy app for questions about how something works, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before you leave home so it is one tap away from US-23 or I-71.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip destinations from Mount Gilead?
Mount Gilead sits right in the middle of Ohio, which makes it a launchpad for some unforgettable trips. From here you can reach Mohican State Park and the Mohican River (about 35 miles east, 45 minutes), Columbus and the Columbus Zoo (about 45 miles south, one hour), Cedar Point in Sandusky (about 90 miles north, just under two hours), Hocking Hills State Park (about 110 miles southeast, two hours), and Amish Country around Berlin and Walnut Creek (about 55 miles east, 75 minutes). A campervan rental Mount Gilead road trip can easily string several of these together in a long weekend. Pro tip: take State Route 95 east through the countryside to Mohican rather than the interstate, it is a gorgeous drive.
ohio.org/things-to-do/destinationsWhat should I budget for fuel on a Mount Gilead RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier expenses to plan for here. Ohio gas prices typically run close to or slightly below the US average, and you will find affordable stations right off I-71 Exit 151 at Mt. Gilead and along US-42. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon for a Class A motorhome rental Mount Gilead travelers usually book, 10 to 14 mpg for a Class C, 15 to 20 mpg for a Class B campervan, and your normal tow-vehicle mileage minus 25 to 35 percent for a travel trailer. Pro tip: a base-camp trip at Mt. Gilead State Park (six miles from town) keeps your fuel bill low, you can drive once and relax for days.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Mount Gilead?
Easier than you might think. For Mt. Gilead State Park, reservations open up to six months in advance through reserveohio.com, and summer weekends (especially July 4th and Labor Day) do sell out, so book those 3 to 6 months ahead. Midweek stays and shoulder-season trips in May, September, and October can often be booked just a week or two out. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Columbus North also takes online reservations and fills fast on holiday weekends. Pro tip: if Mt. Gilead State Park is full, check Delaware State Park or Alum Creek State Park on the same reserveohio.com system, both are within an hour and often have openings.
reserveohio.com/What are driving conditions like around Mount Gilead?
Driving here is refreshingly low-stress. Morrow County is flat to gently rolling farmland with wide, quiet state routes like SR-95, SR-19, and SR-61, plus easy access to I-71 at Exit 151. There are no mountain passes, no narrow canyon roads, and traffic stays light outside of Columbus rush hour. Watch for Amish horse-drawn buggies on rural roads east toward Holmes County, slow down and pass with plenty of space. Winter (December to February) can bring snow and lake-effect flurries from the north, so check the Ohio Department of Transportation's OHGO road conditions before any cold-weather trip. Pro tip: avoid I-71 southbound between 4 and 6 pm on weekdays heading into Columbus.
ohgo.com/What amenities can I expect at Mount Gilead area campgrounds?
You will be well taken care of. Mt. Gilead State Park has 22 full-hookup concrete-pad sites and 37 sites with 30/50 amp electric, plus a potable water fill station, a modern dump station, hot showers in private rooms, laundry, a camp store, and a dog-friendly policy. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Columbus North adds full hookups, swimming pools, the Wibit water obstacle course, and pull-thru sites that fit big rigs. Most campgrounds for RV camping Mount Gilead trips offer fire rings, picnic tables, and trash and recycling drop-offs. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank before leaving the park, the dump station and water fill are conveniently right near the campground entrance.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkWhat features will my Mount Gilead RV rental come with?
More than you might expect. Most RVs listed for rent an RV in Mount Gilead come fully equipped with a real bed (or two or three), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control via roof AC and furnace, and seatbelted seating for the road. Larger Class A and Class C motorhomes often add a generator, TV, and outdoor speakers, and many travel trailers include WiFi boosters and outdoor kitchens. Always check the listing's amenities tab for specifics. Pro tip: for a family RV trip Mount Gilead weekend, filter by Sleeps 6+ and Generator to make sure everyone has a bed and you can run AC off-grid if needed.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
You have tons of flexibility. Popular add-ons for an RV road trip from Mount Gilead include linens and bedding packs, kitchen kits, camping chairs, outdoor grills, generators, bike racks, and even pre-stocked firewood, each with a small fee set by the host. Pickup is usually at the host's home (often within 15 to 30 minutes of downtown Mount Gilead), and many hosts will deliver to Mt. Gilead State Park or Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park instead. Mileage and generator-hour packages can also be bundled in. Pro tip: use the Instant Book filter to lock in your rig in seconds, and message the host the same day about delivery so your setup is waiting when you arrive.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mt-gilead-state-parkHow does payment and the security deposit work?
It is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental in Mount Gilead, OH on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit or debit card, no cash or off-platform transfers needed. A refundable security deposit is held (not charged) on your card before the trip, and it is released after the host confirms the RV came back in the same condition it left in. To avoid any issues, take date-stamped photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and dropoff, follow the host's mileage and generator-hour limits, and return it with the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip: a quick walkaround video at pickup takes two minutes and gives both you and your host total peace of mind.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I take my Mount Gilead RV rental into Canada or other states?
Often yes, with a quick conversation first. Many RVezy hosts in Ohio allow interstate travel across the Midwest, so road tripping from Mount Gilead to Michigan, Kentucky's Mammoth Cave, or Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest is very doable. Cross-border travel into Canada (a popular run is Mount Gilead to Niagara Falls, Ontario, about 320 miles northeast) may also be allowed depending on the host and the protection plan, so message the host before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: have your passport ready if you are heading to Canada, even kids need one to cross.
