Testimonials

"What makes our family choose Lock 30 over the other campgrounds is the natural beauty and serenity of the property. We take long walks along the riverfront and it feels like we are the only people around for miles. The campsites are full of nature and beautiful trees. The atmosphere is, in one word, peaceful. It is everything camping is truly about." - The Friend Family, Mentor, OH
