Dillon State Park Campground — Hotel in Zanesville

Me & my fiancé are here for a week vacation due to it being our 1 year anniversary; we are on our last night here, tonight....& to be honest..I’m kinda glad we are leaving, it’s a bitter sweet though. But, Anyhow;..I would like to speak my mind & get a few things off of my chest that have been bothering me....One of my major issues; was that the raccoons are TERRIBLE HERE!!!!They ruined my fiancé’s $150 tent!! 😡 it definitely puts a sour start on a time of relaxation & TRYING TO NOT DEAL WITH ADDED & UN-NEEDED STRESS. On top of everything else, when we went to the on site camp store to wash our laundry; at the laundry mat there, of course...the washers & dryers stained up a lot of our new clothes & towels we bought for our stay....They NEED CLEANED OR NEW ONES; PLUS. The camp store whoever was there at the time, obviously did NOT know the prices of the washers. She said that the washers only was priced at a $1 for each load; come to find out they weren’t! They were $1.25....the added & additional .25 cents!! 😡& it was wrote in on them with a permanent marker, & smeared; So u couldn’t tell the price..& to make our trip matters even more inconvenient there was NOT ANY CHANGE MACHINE IN THE LAUNDRY MAT for quarters! 🙄ALSO; I literally called the same day about having the toilet paper being out in the ladies restrooms; & it needed re-stocked ASAP, & there STILL NOT FILLED! We’ve been out quite a few days now!! It’s gross feeling walking out with no tp to wipe with! OTHER THAN THOSE THINGS! & might I add, the annoying construction early in the morning & the lawn mowing as well; made it very inconvenient so u couldn’t sleep..ON THE GOOD NOTE; Since I don’t just want to seem like a negative Nancy or complainer..THE PARK & BEACH 🏖 ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!! & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DAM & seeing the gorgeous flowers 🌸 & wildlife this place...

Beautiful park, with kept up hiking, biking and bridle trails. Bathrooms are dated but clean and private. Great disc course and many playgrounds-one for each loop. My reason for 3 to 4 stars(normally I'd give this place 5 stars) is that we were visited by the park rangers because they said they couldn't find our self-registration envelope. The ranger said it wasn't in the kiosk, but I can tell you it's in there right now collecting dust probably under something or on something as my wife really knocked the envelope into the drop box slot. If we were allowed to access the kiosk we would likely find our self-registration envelope. The park rangers, I believe, didn't search the cluttered kiosk thoroughly as it is pilled to the ceiling with all kinds of bins and other stuff. The envelope likely slid on the floor under something or flew between some boxes or bins. The rangers assumed we didn't pay and were NOT convinced by our word. -...I'd love to search that kiosk...- In the meantime we have a check floating around that may or may not be seen again, and would cost 30 bucks to cancel. I just hope when they find it they give us a call. But other than that, this is a great park to stay at with plenty of park ranger patrols unlike East Fork State Park where I hardly saw a park ranger, just once a week. Also the young girl working at the park office wasn't overly friendly-but just doing her job. The other older park registration employees were very customer service friendly. We did not find any ticks while hiking the several trails or completing the 18 hole disc course. 4g Verizon 4 to 5bars signal at and near the walk-in site 106. Nearly 20meg/sec download speeds! Stores, restaurants, and big box retailers 5 to 10 mins away which was a huge convenience. We will...

I absolutely love this park. It's beautiful. We go here almost every year and I always get the cabins on site. They are better than most hotel rooms I've had and you can't beat the price for the amount of space and amenities. If you get the upgraded cabins, the mattresses are as good as a hotel and they can come with a fireplace, cable TV and a full kitchen with basic dishes and cookware. And of course there's linens for the beds (packaged up so you know they are. Fresh and clean!) And towels so you can take a shower without having to bring along bulky towels along. I love sitting in the screen porch in the morning drinking a cup of coffee too. Overall highly recommend the cabins. Honestly, I usually just kind of hang around that area but the woods around it is beautiful and I plan to play on the disc golf course on site next time I visit! Lots of wildlife, over the years I've seen a whole bunch of deer, tons of birds, butterflies, and others, even a skunk passed through once! They do have a camp store on site that has a lot of basic stuff like camping supplies and drinks and ice cream as well. Also the staff has always been super kind and friendly which is always lovely to...
