Why Shawnee State Park is Called the Smokies of Ohio | RV Life Tips

We’re RV camping at Shawnee State Park – Ohio River Campground in Portsmouth, Ohio, a place many people call the Smokies of Ohio. Between the rolling hills, scenic hikes, and river views, it didn’t take long to see why. In this vlog, we’re sharing a full campground overview, our RV setup, and what it’s really like spending time in southern Ohio. From hiking Raven Rock Trail and visiting the largest buckeye tree, to exploring downtown Portsmouth, this trip surprised us in the best ways. We also dive into some real RV life moments — installing the LevelMate Pro, backflushing the black tank (don’t forget to set a timer 😬), cooking in the camper, playing games in our Clam, and finding unexpected wildlife along the way. If you’re planning RV camping in Ohio or looking for underrated state parks, this one deserves a spot on your list. 📍 Location: Shawnee State Park Ohio River Campground Portsmouth, Ohio 🔔 Don’t forget to: 👍 Like the video 💬 Comment if you’ve camped here or want to 📌 Subscribe for more RV life, campground reviews, and travel adventures #RVLife #FullTimeRVLiving #RVTravel #Boondocking #RVTips #CampgroundReview #ClassARV #HolidayRambler 👇 Helpful Links & More 🔗 Watch this video next:    • New England RV Trip   📍Campground Website: 🛠️ RV Gear We Use & Recommend - including our Clam, Diesel Heater & Level Mate Pro seen in this video! 🛒 Our Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/campinwit... 🍇🍷🍺🐮We love Harvest Host!
