Answer
All the state parks are pretty nice but expensive. You don't say what style of camping you are doing. Tent, camper, backpacking? Hocking hills is very nice. Any of the reservoirs (Burr Oak, Seneca lake) have camping. Over in your part of the state you are not too far from Ohio Power rec area. Good fishing and cheap camping there, if you are into that sort of thing. You can get a free permit on line. These people may be a corp. but they have the cheapest camping in Ohio. Look around their pages. Here is a link to apply for a permit. http://www.aep.com/environmental/recreation/recland/permit.aspx But West Virginia is very nice, if you want to go that far. Spruce Knob area.

What are the laws about camping in the woods in Ohio?
Jeff
I'm planning to go camping in the hills around my University, but there isn't an established campground. Are there any legal issues with just hiking into the woods and throwing up a tent to spend the night? There wouldn't be anything illicit going on, just a couple of folks who like sleeping in a tent.
Answer
Find out who controls jurisdiction and seek permission as well as a description of any applicable regulations. As the 99% protests demonstrate, the authorities tolerate tent erection differently depending on the political atmosphere and perceived threat of the activity. Last year summer, my employer, county government, forced us to work with 2.5 hour unpaid lunches. My protest was erection of a tent and taking naps during these extreme lunch periods. Eventually, the Office of the Sheriff seized my tent and informed me that an erection of any duration is a violation. I paid a fifty dollar fine, which worked-out to less than five dollars a day. My employer has rescinded the 2.5 hours unpaid lunches for next summer. I take credit for being the first of the 99% protests and raising awareness of abuse of the workforce.
