Primitive tent camping on the Greenville Peace Treaty Line, Buckeye Trail, Ohio-Erie Canal Towpath Trail, Scenic Byway, Tuscarawas River Water Trail and the Great American Rail-Trail! Located on the historic Ohio-Erie Canal between the village of Bolivar Ballparks and the McDonnell trailheads on the towpath trail ten miles south of Canton, Ohio and 1.5 miles west of I-77 exit 93 on Scenic Byway Rt 212 in beautiful Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The Peace Park is designed for bikers, hikers, dog walkers and anyone else traveling thru to book a campsite even if anyone isn't available to meet and greet.
Once booked, CampingInUSA campers may go to an available campsite and set up camp. Dog-friendly, handicapped accessible Porta-Jon with hand sanitizer shared electric for charging phones, pristine aquifer water tested annually, picnic tables, fire-pits, fireside benches, birds, butterflies, lightning bugs, wild turkey, deer, and other wildlife are often seen.
Turn in the lower driveway closest to the boardwalk and park in one of the four parking spots beside the Porta-Jon.
I stayed for a night to getaway and I was very relaxed. Joe and his companion, Airbud, were good hosts. He got me firewood, helped me pitch my tent and put up the hammock for me. I was very pleased. Thank you Joe, I'll definitely be back.
It's like a small oasis and close to downtown. It's worth a visit/stay.
Its so peaceful and the area is beautiful! Joe knows a lot about the history of the area- I went alone and Joe told me the most interesting stories. Joe has it beautiful and simple and there's everything you need. I felt very comfortable staying here. Joes dog Airbud is super cute and friendly too. I am definitely going back for another hiking trip!
Great campsite right off the Towpath! My partner and I stayed here for one night during our cross-country bike tour. Joe was easy to communicate with, is full of knowledge, and just a really nice guy. You can tell he's put a lot of thought into the campground with the little details like solar lights under the umbrellas, along the pathways, in the port-a-potty - which is super clean. There's potable water and firepits along with trash and recycling(!!) at each site. Access to the Towpath allows for an easy ride into town for food/drink.
This camp is a very nice place to stay when in bolivar , whether you are hiking , biking, traveling or kayaking I would highly recommend this spot to camp. The owner Joe is very caring of his campground. Also he has a vast amount of knowledge of the history of the area. Make sure you ask him about what the last was like in his area. I stayed there back in March 2021 and will return many more times as I love the area. Thank you for having the campsite for nature lovers like myself Joe !!!
