RV Rental Arcanum, OH

Unlike other parts of Ohio, there are lots of small forests, parks, and campgrounds to consider when planning your Arcanum campervan rental trip. Buck Creek State Park is one stellar option, found over on the other side of Dayton not too far from Arcanum. The park was created when the Ohio River was dammed to prevent flooding, creating a human-made reservoir that is commonly used for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and canoeing. There are a few historic homesteads and buildings in the park, like the Crabill Homestead which is featured on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to dozens of rental cabins along the water’s edge, there are a variety of different campsites for you to use when you rent an RV in Arcanum and want to put it to good use.

Hueston Woods State Park is another fantastic option south of town, also centered around a human-made lake. The iconic red covered bridge leading into the park and the park’s history museum are among the many reasons you should consider stopping by Hueston Woods State Park, along with the fact that the Hueston Woods themselves have been designated a National Natural Landmark by the National Parks Service. Here you can sunbathe on sandy beaches, stay in a lodge, camp out under the stars, hike on over 12 miles of nature trails, or even play a round of golf on the park’s 27-hole course.

If you want to continue your explorations of Ohio’s many lake parks, check out Lake Loramie State Park.

When you want to extend your fun fishing trip, you can opt to stay the night in your Arcanum motorhome rental at one of the waterfront campsites maintained by the park.
