Camp In Ohio's Amish Country At This Picturesque RV Park Near Shops And Tasty Restaurants

One of the largest Amish settlements in the U.S., Ohio's Holmes County Amish community spans several counties across the northeastern part of the state — where more than 36,000 Amish residents maintain their traditional way of life. Brimming with rolling hills and fertile farmlands that have supported families there since the early 1800s, the destination offers a unique cultural and historic appeal that draws in visitors from across the country.

This long-running popularity and charm is precisely what makes places like Scenic Hills RV Park so attractive. Just 1 mile outside the town of Berlin — and spread across 30 acres of hillside terrain — the family-owned park has been operating for more than three decades. Featuring 112 full-hookup sites — including 40 pull-through places and nine premium spots with cement pads — the spaces are all designed to accommodate your choice of large motorhome or camper.

Beyond the campsite, however, is where the real adventure begins. From watching Amish buggies clip-clop past their campsite to hitting up Berlin's markets, restaurants, and attractions, visitors can soak up the best of local culture. Plus, better yet, campers can experience authentic Amish life while still enjoying modern amenities that ensure a comfortable stay — including fire rings, picnic areas, a gazebo, and a community room.

With campsites averaging 35 feet wide — and equipped with 30-amp or 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections — Scenic Hills RV Park stands out as a premier destination in Ohio's picturesque Amish country. In terms of layout, sites are thoughtfully spaced with grassy areas between them — which helps with privacy for all guests — while larger rigs can opt for extra-spacious spots that include a level pebbled area, all so you can set up the perfect RV campground for you and your family. As for pricing, rates start from $40 a night for regular sites and $50 for super sites, with discounts available for extended stays. For example, a week-long stay at Scenic Hills will set you back around $250 for a regular site and $310 for a super site, while monthly fees begin around $800.

Amenities-wise, the park also offers laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi for all guests. Additionally, while there are no comfort stations with showers or restrooms on-site, there is a dump station available for your convenience. Lastly, if you're planning on traveling with your pet in an RV, you'll be happy to know that four-legged guests are welcome in the park; however, owners must have proof of vaccination at check-in.

Alternatively, for travelers who crave a little more comfort, the park also offers a rental cabin located 1 mile from Berlin. With weekend rates starting around $185 a night, the property is available to rent via AirBnb and is equipped with two bedrooms, a living space, in-unit washer and dryer, private patio and back garden, and fully-kitted kitchen.

Just 1 mile from Scenic Hills RV Park, the charming town of Berlin serves as a gateway to a wide variety of authentic Amish country experiences. First, there are local dining spots like Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen in Mt. Hope, which serves a menu of traditional home cooking — including specialties like fried chicken, roast beef, and homemade pies. Meanwhile, for a taste of history, Boyd & Wurthmann Restaurant has maintained its original country diner atmosphere for over 75 years, drawing crowds for its fresh-baked pies and signature peanut butter spread.

Along with tucking into some good ole' comfort meals, food enthusiasts won't want to miss a visit to Heini's Cheese Chalet. Family-owned and operated since 1948, the shop produces everything from raw milk varieties to lactose-free options of local cheese — all available for purchase on-site. If you're on the hunt for other types of souvenirs or gifts, the Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market offers the perfect weekend destination to get your hands on handcrafted clothing, jewelry, home decor, and local crafts.

Lastly, for families traveling with young kids, The Farm at Walnut Creek (pictured above) provides a unique opportunity to experience Amish agricultural life firsthand. From touring through the grounds in your vehicle ($15 for adults, $12 for children) or taking a horse-drawn wagon tour ($21 for adults, $16 for children), visitors can check out the non-electric farmhouses, learn more about how seasonal activities like plowing and canning are performed, and even feed over 500 animals from all around the world.
