Korbel North Campground

Not exactly a stellar camping experience, but a great location being near downtown Columbus. My husband and I work the Ohio State Fair annually. This will be around 20 years of staying at Korbel North for the event. They do a decent job of keeping public spaces clean (bathrooms and dumpster areas). It does depend on who they contract to do the work though. Sometimes it better than others.

Sonic Temple was a blast. Can't wait for next year.

Went there with the understanding that there are no reservations needed as the website says. Drove from Youngstown towing camper to get turned away. Told needed reservations for the event that was never stated on the site! Cost 175 dollars for a dump hotel room. Would have made other plans if we knew! Very disappointed! Should have posted reservations need for the event that was going on! Camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are NOT accepted, or needed. The campgrounds will NOT fill for your event (except during the Quarter Horse Congress in October). Directly from there site!

Tom is a great guy and always goes above and beyond to make sure our stays every year are the best it can be!!!

Clean and 2 to 3 min walk from the venue. Could have been a little more organized and assigning spots. Some people took 2 or 3 spots.

This campground is by far the worst we have ever stayed in. It is not well kept (Trash, overgrown) and there is a lack of security, that is needed. People were wandering around all hours of the night, some screaming. You will also be required to pay 1280 + a 3% credit card fee when they come by on Thursday, even if you only stay a night. Also to check out you have to hunt down this trailer they are located in to get your money back. They don't answer either so we spent a solid 30 minutes trying to find the place to check out. There is also a train yard right next to it and you will hear trains, cars and airplanes all hours. The only good thing about this is the location in relation to the city, although it is not in a great area of town.

These campgrounds are closed because of Covid ☹ the website doesn't mention that at all. We pulled in and went to hook up and discovered everything was shut off. While picking a new campground the cops rolled up to tell us it's closed. It's a really nice camp spot. Great location in Columbus. It is next to train tracks but they don't have any reason to use their horn in that area. Several trains went by while we were there and it was fine. We're bummed we didn't get to stay.
