Top Hosts near OH, United States
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..

How to get to Burr Oak State Park
Burr Oak State Park sits in rural southeastern Ohio near the village of Glouster, roughly 75 miles southeast of Columbus (about a 90-minute drive) and about 20 miles north of Athens. Access is via State Route 13 and State Route 78, both of which include narrow, winding sections through Appalachian hill country, so RV drivers should expect rolling grades and tight curves rather than tunnels or weight-restricted passes. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent travelers is John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). Pittsburgh International Airport is a longer alternative about three hours to the northeast.
