We pulled out of Willow Lake Park this morning, glad to be away from the mud and foul tasting water, and headed south on I-71. We wanted to camp near Bainbridge, but couldn't find anything very close--all the campgrounds were full because of the Fall Festival of Leaves. We decided to try A.W. Marion State Park in Circleville, about 45 miles northeast of Bainbridge.
Our first challenge was finding the campground, since the signage is not very clear. A county sheriff kindly led us to the campground after we stopped to ask directions, and the way in was quite winding. Our GPS doesn't seem to have much info on the park.
The campground had lots of empty sites when we arrived (it turns out that Circleville's Pumpkin Festival is next weekend, so this park is fully booked then). It's an older campground, but several sites were large enough for Venture. The park is wooded and attractive, with nice fall color. The electric service is 50 amp, but there's no water at the sites, so first we had to put water in our freshwater tank. It took several minutes of running the kitchen tap to clear out the brown water from our previous campsite, and then we were in business.
