About this campground
About five miles from the small town of Freeport, Clendening Lake Marina & Campground sits along the shores of a reservoir managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The facility operates seasonally from April through September, accommodating RVs up to 35 feet with full hookups alongside primitive tent sites. Access options include traditional drive-in camping, boat-in sites, and walk-in spots for those seeking more seclusion. The campground features both wooded sites set back from the water and lakeside spots, though seasonal RV campers occupy most of the prime waterfront locations year-round.

Individual shower houses include seating and handicap accessibility, while the marina offers pontoon rentals with a 10 mph speed limit on the lake. Cell service proves nearly nonexistent throughout the property, with coverage dropping out roughly 20 minutes before arrival. Fishing draws many visitors to the 1,800-acre lake, where campers report consistent catches using basic bait like worms. The hilly terrain and winding access roads require careful navigation, particularly when encountering Amish buggies on the 55 mph approach routes. "Lakeside spot, snow flurries, quiet except for the woodpeckers," describes [laura M.](https://thedyrt.com/camping/ohio/clendening-lake-marina/reviews/135672) of her March visit. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore [Twin Hills Campground](https://thedyrt.com/camping/ohio/twin-hills-park), located south of Clendening Lake with different amenities and terrain.

Reviewers consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the clean facilities and respectful guests. However, some campers noted issues such as weak cell service, closed showers, and a mandatory two-night stay that could be inconvenient. Overall, it provides a great experience for those seeking solitude in nature.
