A great campground is more than the lake, the hookups, and the amenities — it's the people. At a seasonal park like Buckeye Beach Park, your neighbors become part of your summer. Here's how to be the kind of neighbor that makes the whole campground better. We've watched communities form on this campground for decades. The parks where people genuinely enjoy each other — where neighbors look out for each other, share a beer over the fence, and make the whole place feel like a neighborhood — don't happen by accident. They happen because the people there make small, consistent choices to be good to each other. Here's what that looks like in practice. □ Respect Quiet Hours — Every Single Night Quiet hours exist because campgrounds are communities, and communities need rest. At Buckeye Beach Park, quiet hours begin at 11pm. That means music, generators, loud conversation, and anything else that carries beyond your own site needs to be wrapped up by then. Not winding down — done. This matters most on Friday and Saturday nights when energy is high and nobody wants the fun to end. But your neighbor across the road may have gotten up at 5am to fish, or have a toddler asleep in the rig, or simply be the kind of person who needs sleep to function. Their morning is just as valid as your Saturday night. The most respected campers in any seasonal park are the ones who are consistently considerate about noise without being reminded. You don't have to stop having fun at quiet hours — move it inside, lower the volume, wrap up the music. Plenty of great campfire conversations happen in near-silence. Morning quiet matters too. Generators cranking at 6:30am on a Sunday, doors slamming, music on the outdoor speaker before 8am — all of these carry in a campground in ways you may not realize from inside your own rig. Give your neighbors their morning. □ Keep Traffic and Speed in Mind Campground roads are shared space, and the speed limit exists because kids, pets, and pedestrians use them constantly. The speed limit at Buckeye Beach Park is there for a reason. Drive slowly — not just at the posted limit, but at the speed that feels appropriate for a place where a child might step out between rigs at any moment. Arriving and departing late at night means your headlights sweep through neighboring sites and your engine noise carries. If you know you're coming in after quiet hours, let your neighbors know in advance if you can. Pull in as quietly as possible and wait until morning to fully set up anything that makes noise. Also be thoughtful about where guests park. Visitors who park in front of neighboring sites, block access to pedestals, or take up road space create friction quickly. Have a plan for guest parking before they arrive and communicate it clearly. □ Pets — Know the Rules and Own the Responsibility Dogs are welcome at Buckeye Beach Park, and they're a big part of campground life for a lot of our seasonal families. But a dog at a campground is your responsibility 100% of the time — not mostly, not when it's convenient. Every moment your dog is outside your rig, you're responsible for what it does. Leash your dog whenever it's outside. Not just on the road — in your site, near other sites, near the bathhouse, everywhere that isn't a designated off-leash area. A friendly dog is still a dog that someone else's fearful dog, young child, or senior neighbor didn't ask to interact with. Pick up immediately, every time. This is the one campground rule that, when ignored, creates the most lasting resentment among neighbors. Bring bags and use them. Every time. No exceptions for small dogs or "it's in the grass" or "nobody saw it." Other people walk that grass. A barking dog is a neighborhood problem. If your dog barks when left alone in the rig, that barking carries through thin RV walls for a long distance. Address it — crate training, a companion toy, a white noise machine inside, whatever works for your dog. Don't leave a chronically barking dog unattended in the rig for extended periods. □️ Keep Your Site Clean and Your Trash Moving Your site is your space, but it's surrounded by your neighbors' space — and what your site looks like and smells like affects theirs. Keep your outdoor area tidy. Trash bags should go to the dumpster before they're full and certainly before they sit overnight, when smells attract animals and carry in the night air. Food left out overnight is an invitation to raccoons, possums, and other wildlife — and once wildlife finds a reliable food source in a campground, it becomes everyone's problem. Clean up after outdoor meals, secure your trash, and don't leave pet food outside at night. Campfire ash and charcoal need to be fully cold before disposal. Wait until morning to clean out the fire ring, verify the ash is cold all the way through, and dispose of it in the designated areas. Never put hot ash in a plastic bag or near anything flammable. A site that's well-kept signals to your neighbors — and to any new arrivals nearby — that this is a campground where people take care of things. That standard is contagious in the best way. □ Be a Neighbor, Not Just a Neighbor The best seasonal campgrounds feel like neighborhoods, and neighborhoods work because people look out for each other. Introduce yourself to the people next to you. You don't have to become best friends — a wave and a name goes a long way toward establishing the kind of comfortable, respectful awareness that makes a campground feel safe and welcoming. If you're going to be away for a few days, let a neighbor know. Long-term seasonal campers look out for each other's sites — an unfamiliar vehicle parked at your spot or something left in the rain gets noticed faster if the people around you know you're gone. That's the kind of community Buckeye Beach Park is, and it works because people choose to participate in it. Offer help when it's genuinely useful. Someone struggling to back into a site, a new arrival who looks like they've never done this before, a neighbor with a problem under their rig — a genuine offer of help costs nothing and creates goodwill that lasts a season. Don't hover or overdo it, but don't pretend not to notice when someone could use a hand. Share the fire if the moment calls for it. Some of the best campground conversations happen spontaneously — a neighbor stops to say goodnight and ends up pulling up a chair. Leave room for those moments. They're part of what makes seasonal camping at a lake different from every other kind of vacation. And when something bothers you — address it directly and kindly first. Talk to your neighbor before you talk to management. Most issues at a campground are misunderstandings or oversights, not malice. A calm, friendly conversation resolves the vast majority of them and preserves a relationship you'll be living next to all season. □ Shared Spaces — Bathhouse, Laundry & Common Areas Shared facilities work well when everyone treats them like their own — which means cleaning up after yourself, not monopolizing equipment, and being aware of how long you're using something when others might be waiting. In the bathhouse: wipe down the sink after you use it, pick up any items you brought in, and don't leave personal items sitting on surfaces for extended periods. Shower at off-peak times if you have flexibility and the bathhouse tends to get busy in the mornings. In the laundry: remove your laundry from machines promptly when it's done. Leaving clothes in a washer or dryer for hours is one of the consistent friction points in every campground that has laundry facilities. Set a timer on your phone and be there when it goes off. Common areas — the dock, the beach area, gathering spaces — should be left as you found them or better. If you brought chairs or equipment out, bring them back. If you see trash that isn't yours, pick it up anyway. The person who does that without being asked is the person everyone is glad to have as a neighbor. □ The campground golden rule: Camp the way you'd want everyone around you to camp. The noise level you'd want to hear at 11pm, the site condition you'd want to look at from your chairs, the dog behavior you'd want next to your grandkids — that's the standard. Apply it to yourself first and everything else follows. The seasonal campers at Buckeye Beach Park who've been coming back year after year — some of them for decades — aren't just here for the lake. They're here for the community. They've built friendships on this campground that started with a wave and a name over the fence and turned into something that outlasts any single summer. That kind of community doesn't happen automatically. It happens because the people in it choose to be good neighbors. We're proud of the culture at Buckeye Beach Park, and we're grateful to every camper who contributes to it. See you at the lake. □ □ Join the Community at Buckeye Beach Park The only RV park and marina right on Buckeye Lake. Electric, water, and sewer hookups on every seasonal site.

Most campers start packing up in August. And every year, the ones who stay a little longer come back the following season saying the same thing — why didn't we do this sooner? Fall at Buckeye Lake is something else entirely. Here's why. We've been on the shore of Buckeye Lake since 1986, and fall is hands-down our favorite time of year at the park. The energy shifts, the pace slows down, and the lake takes on a quality that's hard to describe until you've seen it yourself. Here are five reasons to rethink your end date this season. □ Reason #1 — The Foliage Around the Lake Is Stunning Buckeye Lake in October looks nothing like Buckeye Lake in July. The trees that line the shoreline, the islands, and the coves shift through every shade of orange, red, and gold — and when you're out on the water or sitting at the edge of the dock watching it all reflect back at you, it's one of those moments that stays with you. Central Ohio's fall color typically peaks in mid-to-late October. If you've only ever seen the lake in summer, you owe it to yourself to see it in fall at least once. We'd bet you'll be planning your October dates before you leave. □ Reason #2 — The Campfire Finally Feels Essential There's a big difference between a campfire in July and a campfire in October. In summer it's something to do. In fall it's something you genuinely need — and that changes everything about the experience. The chairs pull in closer. People stay outside longer. Conversations go later. The smell of woodsmoke and the sound of the lake at night are things you don't forget. Fall evenings at Buckeye Beach Park are some of the best camping we've seen in four decades on this lake. Bring good firewood, a cast iron pan, and plan to stay outside well past when you think you will. □ Reason #3 — The Crowds Are Gone and the Lake Is Yours Buckeye Lake on a Saturday in July is busy — and that's part of the fun. But Buckeye Lake on a Saturday in October is something different entirely. The boat traffic thins out. The shoreline gets quiet. You can sit on the dock with your coffee in the morning and hear nothing but water and birds. The lake feels bigger when fewer people are on it. Fall campers at Buckeye Beach Park consistently tell us it's their favorite time to be here for exactly this reason. You get all the beauty of the lake with a fraction of the crowd. If you've ever wished for more space and more quiet — this is your season. □ Reason #4 — Buckeye Lake Winery in the Fall Buckeye Lake Winery is a great evening out any time of year, but fall takes it to another level. The outdoor seating overlooks the lake, the harvest-season wines are pouring, and the evening air has that perfect crispness that makes a glass of red taste better than it has any right to. They run live music and events throughout the fall — check their calendar and build an evening around it. It's one of those off-site experiences our campers talk about most. A short drive from the park, easy to make into a whole evening, and completely worth it. Fall at the winery is one of the reasons people keep coming back to this lake long after summer ends. □ Reason #5 — Fall Fishing on Buckeye Lake Is Exceptional Serious anglers know what summer campers often don't — fall is one of the best fishing seasons on Buckeye Lake. As water temperatures drop, bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish move into feeding patterns that make them more active and more catchable than at any point during the summer. Early mornings and evenings in October are particularly productive. Plenty of our dock slip guests spend their fall mornings fishing right off the slip before the rest of the park wakes up. It's one of the quieter pleasures of staying into the season — and one of the best arguments for not pulling out in August when the fishing is just getting good. □ Bonus reason: Fall camping is cooler, which means better sleep, more comfortable days outside, and no fighting the AC all night. Coffee tastes better in the morning when it's 52 degrees and misty over the lake. Flannel and campfire smoke and the sound of geese overhead — if you know, you know. We've been watching fall arrive on Buckeye Lake for nearly four decades, and it never gets old. If your plan is to pack up at the end of August, we'd just ask you to consider pushing that date back — even by a few weeks. The lake has more to offer than most people realize, and fall is when it shows you its best side. See you around the campfire. □ □ Stay Into Fall at Buckeye Beach Park The only RV park and marina right on Buckeye Lake. Electric, water, and sewer hookups on every seasonal site.

One hard freeze can crack a water line, split a fitting, or ruin a water heater, and those repairs add up fast. The good news is that winterizing isn't complicated once you know the steps. Here at Buckeye Beach Park, we've been helping RVers on Buckeye Lake since 1986, so we've gathered the questions we hear most often and answered them in plain language. When should I winterize my RV in Ohio?Do it before the first hard freeze, not after. In Central Ohio, overnight temperatures can dip below freezing as early as late October, so many owners winterize in mid-to-late October. If you're still camping into November, keep a close eye on the forecast. It only takes a few hours below 32°F to cause damage to exposed lines. What happens if I skip winterizing?Water expands when it freezes, and that's the problem. Any water left in your lines, pump, faucets, or water heater can crack pipes and fittings. Often, you won't discover the damage until spring, when you turn the water back on and find leaks behind walls or under the floor. A little time now can save you a costly repair bill later. What supplies do I need?Most of what you need is inexpensive and easy to find. Plan on two to three gallons of non-toxic RV antifreeze (the pink kind, never automotive antifreeze), a water heater bypass kit if your rig doesn't already have one, a hand pump or siphon kit, basic hand tools, and a tank-flushing wand. If you plan to blow out your lines, you'll also need an air compressor and a blowout plug adapter. Tip: Check your owner's manual before you start. Many RVs have model-specific valves, low-point drains, or built-in winterizing systems that make the job quicker. How do I drain the water system?Start by getting all the water out. Disconnect from shore water, then drain the fresh water tank. Turn off the water heater and let it cool completely before opening the drain plug or anode rod and releasing the pressure valve. Next, open the low-point drains and all the faucets, both hot and cold, including the outdoor shower. Once everything has drained, close the drains and faucets again. Important: Never drain a hot or pressurized water heater. Always turn it off and give it plenty of time to cool down first. Should I use antifreeze or blow out the lines?Many RVers do both for extra peace of mind. Blowing out the lines with compressed air pushes out leftover water, while RV antifreeze protects the pump, traps, and fittings that air can miss. If you use a compressor, keep the pressure low (many manufacturers recommend staying under 50 PSI) so you don't stress the plumbing. Open one faucet at a time until only air comes out. How do I add RV antifreeze?Bypass the water heater first. Otherwise, you'll waste six to ten gallons of antifreeze filling the tank. Then use your water pump's winterizing valve or a hand pump to draw antifreeze into the system. Open each faucet, starting with the one closest to the pump, and run it until pink fluid flows, then close it and move to the next. Don't forget the toilet, the outdoor shower, and any ice maker or washer lines. Finish with the drains. Pour a cup or two of antifreeze down each sink and shower drain to protect the P-traps, and add a little to the toilet bowl as well. What should I do with the holding tanks?Empty and clean them before storage. Dump the black tank first, then the gray tank, and flush both thoroughly with a tank wand or built-in flush system. Leftover waste can harden over the winter and cause odors or damage sensors. Once the tanks are empty, close the valves and add a small amount of RV antifreeze to keep the seals from drying out. How do I care for batteries, tires, and propane?Batteries: Fully charge them, then disconnect or remove them and store them in a cool, dry place that stays above freezing. A battery maintainer will keep them healthy until spring. Tires: Inflate them to the recommended pressure and use tire covers to block UV rays. If your RV will sit for months, consider using leveling blocks or jack stands to take some weight off the tires. Propane: Turn off the propane at the tank, and make sure all gas appliances are switched off inside. How do I keep mice and moisture out?Mice love a quiet, empty RV. Remove all food, including sealed snacks and pet food. Inspect the underside and seal any gaps around pipes and wiring with steel wool or expanding foam. Many owners also use peppermint oil pouches or other rodent deterrents. Moisture can be just as damaging. Clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to prevent mildew. Place moisture absorbers throughout the interior, and close the blinds to reduce sun fading. Tip: Walk around the exterior and check the roof seams, windows, and vents for cracks. Resealing now helps prevent winter leaks. Should I cover my RV for the winter?A good cover is worth it, but choose carefully. Use a breathable cover designed for RVs. Plastic tarps trap moisture underneath, which can lead to mold and damage to the finish. Make sure the RV is clean and dry before you cover it, and secure the cover so winter winds can't whip it against the siding. What do I do when spring comes?De-winterizing is mostly the process in reverse. Flush the antifreeze out of the system with fresh water, take the water heater off bypass, reinstall the drain plug or anode rod, reconnect the batteries, and sanitize the fresh water system before use. Then check for leaks, test your appliances, and get ready for another season on the lake. Already dreaming about next season?

Get out and find solid shelter immediately. Ohio sits in the edge of tornado country, and severe weather can move through the Buckeye Lake area fast. As the owners of Buckeye Beach Park, tornado preparedness is something we take seriously — and something every camper should think about before the sirens go off, not after. Here's what you need to know. RV walls are built for comfort and convenience, not for withstanding tornado-force winds. Even a weak tornado can flip a trailer or send it airborne. The campers who come through severe weather safely are the ones who had a plan before the storm arrived. This post gives you that plan. □️ Watch vs. Warning — Know the DifferenceThese two words mean very different things and require very different responses. □ When a Tornado Warning Is Issued — Act Immediately⚠️ If You Cannot Reach Shelter in Time
This is a last resort only. Always try to reach a solid structure first. If debris is already flying and leaving the RV is more dangerous than staying, here is what to do:
Inside the RV — Last Resort Position
Outside With No Building Available — Last Resort Position
✅ Prepare Before the Sirens SoundThe single biggest factor in tornado safety is preparation before the storm — not decisions made in the moment. Here's what every camper should have in place from the first day of the season:
□ Know your shelter location the moment you arrive. When you pull into any campground — including Buckeye Beach Park — ask staff where the nearest storm shelter or solid structure is. Walk there so you know exactly how to get there in the dark or in bad conditions. Don't wait until sirens are sounding.
□ Use a weather app that pushes real-time alerts. Your phone's built-in weather app isn't enough. Use one that delivers NOAA/NWS watches and warnings the moment they're issued and alerts your phone even when it's on silent. NOAA Weather Radio is free and reliable. Keep your phone charged and nearby at all times during severe weather season.
□ Keep a go-bag ready. A small bag near your door with phone charger, ID, medications, pet leash, and a flashlight means you can grab what matters and move in seconds. Don't count on having time to find these things when a warning is issued.
□️ Take every tornado warning seriously. Every single one. It's easy to become desensitized when warnings don't produce visible storms. But a tornado warning only has to be right once to be life-or-death. Treat every warning as if a tornado is coming directly at your site. The "odds" don't matter when it's your family.
□️ Secure your site before storms arrive. During a Watch, pull in awnings, bring in all outdoor items — chairs, grills, rugs, decorations, anything that can become a missile in high wind. This protects both you and your neighbors.
□□□ Have a family plan and a meeting point. Everyone in your group should know where to go and how to get there independently. Don't assume everyone will be together when a warning hits. Designate a meeting spot outside the shelter once it's safe to leave.
□️ After the Storm Passes
Wait for the Official All-Clear
Do not leave your shelter until the tornado warning has officially expired or been cancelled. Storm systems can produce multiple tornadoes. Check your weather app or listen to NOAA Weather Radio before stepping outside.
Watch for Hazards When You Return to Your Site
After the storm, watch for downed power lines — treat every line on the ground as live and dangerous. Stay well away and call 911. Watch your footing for debris, nails, broken glass, and sharp objects on the ground. Do not enter your RV until you've walked around it and confirmed it hasn't been structurally compromised — check for damage to the frame, wheels, roof, and utilities before going inside.
Check In With Campground Staff
Let the campground office know you're safe. Report any damage to your site, any downed lines or trees, or any hazards in the campground. This helps us respond quickly and keep everyone safe.
Document Any Damage for Insurance
If your RV was damaged, photograph everything before moving or touching anything. Contact your RV insurance provider as soon as possible. Most comprehensive RV policies cover storm and wind damage — your rig can be repaired or replaced. Your safety is what cannot be undone. We care deeply about the safety of every person who stays at Buckeye Beach Park. Severe weather is one of those things we take seriously all season long. If a tornado Watch or Warning is ever issued while you're on our property, follow our staff's instructions immediately — we'll direct everyone to the safest available shelter as quickly as possible. Your RV will still be here when the storm passes. Make sure you are too. Stay safe out there. □ □ Come Stay at Buckeye Beach ParkThe only RV park and marina right on Buckeye Lake — with electric, water, and sewer hookups on every seasonal site. Family-owned since 1986.

Here's the thing most summer visitors never find out: the lake gets better after they leave. Labor Day comes and goes, the wake boats go home, and Buckeye Lake settles into the stretch that serious anglers wait all year for. Cooler water wakes the fish up, the shad start moving, and suddenly a Tuesday evening off your own dock is worth more than a whole July weekend. If you've got a slip here or you're thinking about one, this is the season that makes the case. Saugeye Is the Fish to ChaseBuckeye Lake is one of Ohio's premier saugeye lakes, and that's not local pride talking. Saugeye are a hatchery cross between a sauger and a walleye, and ODNR stocks them here every year. To qualify for Fish Ohio recognition a saugeye has to hit 21 inches — and Buckeye Lake produced the second-highest number of Fish Ohio saugeye submissions in the entire state in a recent year. There are genuinely big fish in this water. They also eat best when it's cold enough to want a jacket. Saugeye feed hard in fall and spring, and the bite really turns on as surface temperatures slide down out of the seventies. Once you're in the low sixties the fish get noticeably more aggressive, and the stretch where the water sits in the fifties — usually mid-October into November around here — is about as good as it gets. Watch the water temperature, not the calendar. Where to Put Your BoatODNR's own guidance for this lake is refreshingly specific: fish the rock, and fish the deep water in the channels. Rocky main-lake areas and the channels that hold depth are where saugeye set up. That means the riprap along the dam, hard-bottom points, bridge and culvert areas, and anywhere a channel edge drops off next to shallow water. Buckeye Lake is a shallow lake overall, so "deep" here is relative — a few feet of difference is a real edge, and that's exactly what the fish use. Let the wind tell you which side to fish. A steady fall breeze pushes baitfish against a shoreline and the predators follow. The windblown bank is often worth more than the calm one, even though it's less comfortable to sit on. Overcast days and the last hour of light are reliably better than bright midday sun. Don't overlook the bank. The lake has three public boat launches and several shoreline fishing areas, and fall is one of the few times of year when shore anglers do just as well as boaters — because the fish move shallow. Some of the best saugeye fishing here happens at night, close to the rocks, with a jig worked slowly along the bottom. What to tie on: Chartreuse and white twister tails on a jig head are the local standby, and a jig tipped with a live minnow is hard to beat after dark. Stick baits and shallow-running jerkbaits work well when fish push up onto the rocks. Slow down your retrieve as the water cools — in fifty-degree water, a bait moving at July speed just gets ignored. And Everything Else in the LakeCrappie are the other fall standout. They school up tight around brush, submerged timber, and dock pilings as the water cools, and when you find one you've usually found thirty. Small jigs in white or chartreuse and live minnows both produce. Bluegill hold around the same structure and are the easiest way in the world to get a kid hooked on fishing. Largemouth bass feed heavily through the fall as they put on weight for winter, and they'll chase a squarebill crankbait bounced off rock or a spinnerbait pulled along a weed edge. Channel catfish stay willing well into October on cut bait, nightcrawlers, or liver fished on the bottom, and evenings are your best window. License and Limits: What You Need to KnowAnyone sixteen or older needs an Ohio fishing license, and it's not expensive. For the 2026-27 season a resident annual license runs $25, a resident senior license is $10, and a nonresident annual is $76.96, with short-term options available if you're only in town for a few days. Kids under sixteen fish free. Licenses are good for 365 days from the date you buy them, not a fixed calendar year, and you can buy one online at wildohio.gov, through the HuntFish OH app, or at bait shops and sporting goods counters around the lake. A digital license on your phone counts. Buckeye Lake has its own rules, and they work in your favor. Statewide, most inland lakes carry a 15-inch minimum on walleye, sauger, and saugeye — but that minimum has been removed at Buckeye Lake. The daily limit is still six saugeye. Crappie here carry a 9-inch minimum with a daily limit of thirty. Bass run a 12-inch minimum statewide inland. Check before you keep. Site-specific regulations change from year to year and Buckeye Lake is one of the lakes that gets adjusted. The current rules run March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027 — give the official ODNR regulations a look each spring rather than going on what a buddy told you three seasons ago. One Date to WatchThe lake doesn't stay full all winter. Every year ODNR runs a winter drawdown that lowers Buckeye Lake about three feet, typically starting in mid-November and finishing by mid-December, with refill beginning March 1. It's done for dock, seawall, and shoreline maintenance, and it's a good thing for the lake — but it does concentrate fish and change your ramp options in a hurry. If you want a full-pool boat, the window is now through early November. Fish Right From Your SlipThis is the part that sells people on a seasonal spot. When your camper and your boat are already here, fall fishing stops being a trip you have to plan. You walk down to the dock after dinner, fish the last hour of light, and walk back. Our slips are newly built and sit in a calm no-wake zone, which makes them a pleasant place to be even when the wind picks up. The sandy beach three blocks away is nice for a morning walk when the fish aren't cooperating. We've been family-owned on this lake since 1986, and we're still the only RV park and marina on Buckeye Lake — about forty-five minutes east of Columbus. Stop in and ask what's been biting. Somebody around here always knows. Dock Slips and RV Spots Available Give us a call or stop by the website. We're happy to talk through what's open and what the season looks like.

Fall Festivals Near Buckeye Lake: Your 2026 GuideSweet corn, bluegrass, giant pumpkins, and the best county fair in Ohio — all within an easy drive of your campsite. There's a reason so many of our seasonal families say fall is their favorite time at the lake. The water goes quiet, the crowds thin out, the evenings get cool enough for a fire, and the whole region seems to throw a party every single weekend. From Labor Day right through the end of October, central Ohio turns into one long stretch of festivals — and Buckeye Beach Park sits right in the middle of it. Here's what's on the calendar for fall 2026, starting with the one happening practically in our backyard. Millersport Sweet Corn Festival — September 2–5If you only make it to one festival all fall, make it this one. The Millersport Lions Sweet Corn Festival runs Wednesday through Saturday of Labor Day week at Historic Lions Park on Chautauqua Boulevard — a short hop around the lake from the park. Locals just call it Corn Days, and it's been running for more than 75 years. Admission is free and so are the concerts. This year brings Diamond Rio on Friday and the Little River Band on Saturday, plus more than twenty midway rides, tractor pulls, parades, contests all week long, and the Ken Keener Classic 5K on Saturday morning. New this year, kids can try the First Bite fishing tanks in the Covered Bridge Area. And of course, there's the corn itself — roasted, buttered, and served all weekend. Camper tip: The 5K route runs along the old Ohio & Erie Canal past Weldon's Ice Cream Factory and the historic Summerland Beach Hotel. Even if you're not running it, it makes a beautiful morning walk. The Backwoods Fest, Thornville — September 18–20This is the one that really kicks off fall around the lake. Tucked into sixty wooded acres on High Point Road in Thornville, The Backwoods Fest brings together more than 300 artisan vendors, thirty-plus kinds of food, and three straight days of bluegrass across multiple stages. Now in its 31st year, it's held rain or shine on the third weekend of September. Come hungry and wear real shoes. Much of the food is cooked over open fire in cast-iron kettles, and the whole thing winds through gravel and mulch paths in the woods, so it's not the day for sandals. Admission runs $12 with kids ten and under free, parking is complimentary, and tractor-pulled wagons shuttle you from the lot to the gates. Hours are 8 to 6 on Friday and Saturday, 8 to 5 on Sunday. Harvest Moon Festival, Granville — Early OctoberThe Licking Park District puts on a free afternoon festival at Infirmary Mound Park on Lancaster Road just outside Granville, and it's a favorite with the grandkids crowd. Expect food trucks, a farm petting zoo, carriage rides, rock climbing, archery, bounce houses, pumpkin painting, and craft tables — all free, no registration, just show up. It typically Power outages at campgrounds happen. A summer thunderstorm rolls through, a transformer blows down the road, or the park's electrical system gets overwhelmed on a hot weekend — and suddenly your shore power is gone. It's rarely dangerous if you know what to do. Here's how to handle it safely and comfortably until the lights come back on. We've seen outages here at Buckeye Beach Park over the years — usually weather-related, almost always resolved within a few hours. The campers who handle it best are the ones who were a little prepared before it happened. This post covers both: what to do in the moment, and what to have on hand so you're never caught completely off guard. ⚡ Step 1 — Figure Out What's Actually Going OnThe first thing to do when power cuts out is stay calm and figure out the scope of the problem. Is it just your site, your section, or the whole campground? That tells you what to do next. □ Step 2 — Immediate Safety Priorities
⚠️ Never use open flames inside your RV for lighting during an outage. Candles inside an RV are a fire hazard in a very small space. Use battery-powered lanterns, headlamps, or flashlights instead. Keep at least one within arm's reach at all times — not buried in a storage compartment.
Lighting
Get your battery-powered lanterns or LED flashlights out right away. A good lantern that can light up the main living area makes an outage go from stressful to manageable almost immediately. Headlamps are useful if you need to move around and keep your hands free. Keep one in your bedside drawer and one in the kitchen at all times.
Carbon Monoxide — Know the Rules
During a power outage, some campers are tempted to run a generator close to the rig or bring a gas-powered device inside for heat or cooking. Never do this. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and lethal in an enclosed space. Generators must be run well away from the RV — at least 20 feet — and never under an awning or near any window or vent. If your CO detector goes off, get everyone outside immediately and call 911.
Keep Your Phone Charged
Your phone is your connection to weather updates, emergency services, and campground staff. During an outage, switch it to low power mode and avoid streaming or unnecessary use. A portable battery bank (power bank) is one of the most useful things you can keep in your rig — charge it regularly so it's ready when you need it. □️ Step 3 — Staying Comfortable During the OutageSafety comes first, then comfort. Here's how to manage temperature, food, and water while you wait for power to return. □ Step 4 — Water During an Outage
City Water Still Works
Good news — if you're connected to campground water at your site, a power outage doesn't affect your fresh water supply. The water comes from pressure at the spigot, not electricity. You'll still have running water for drinking, washing hands, and flushing. Your water pump (which draws from your fresh water tank) does run on battery power, so that's a backup if you're not connected to city water.
Hot Water
If your water heater runs on propane (or has a propane setting), it will continue to work during a power outage. Switch it to propane mode if you need hot water. Electric-only water heaters won't work until power is restored — in that case, heat water on the stove for washing up. □ Be Prepared Before It HappensThe campers who handle power outages best are the ones who already had a few things in the rig. Here's what we recommend keeping on hand:
□ Battery-Powered Lanterns & Headlamps
At least one good LED lantern that can light up your living space, and headlamps for everyone in the rig. Check the batteries at the start of each camping season and replace as needed. Rechargeable lanterns are ideal — keep them topped up via your shore power so they're always ready.
□ Portable Battery Bank (Power Bank)
A quality power bank keeps your phones, tablets, and small devices charged through an outage. Get one with enough capacity to charge your phone multiple times — 20,000mAh or more is ideal. Keep it plugged in and topped off whenever you're connected to shore power.
□️ Surge Protector or EMS
A surge protector doesn't prevent outages, but it protects your rig when power comes back on — often with a spike that can damage appliances. It also protects against bad power at the pedestal that could fry your electrical system without you knowing. If you don't have one, this is the single most important piece of electrical equipment to add to your rig.
□ Non-Perishable Food & Water Supply
Keep a small stash of non-perishable food that doesn't require cooking — crackers, peanut butter, canned goods, protein bars, trail mix. A few gallons of bottled water stored in your rig is good practice for any emergency, not just outages. You don't need a survivalist stockpile — just enough to be comfortable for 24 hours.
□ Portable Generator (Optional)
A portable generator gives you a real backup power source for longer outages. Make sure it's properly rated for your needs, always run it at least 20 feet from your RV with exhaust pointed away from windows and vents, and never run it inside an enclosed space or under your awning. Check your campground's generator rules before you arrive — some parks have quiet hours or designated generator areas. □ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using candles inside the RV for lighting. An open flame in a small space is a serious fire risk. Always use battery-powered lighting.
Running a generator too close to the rig. Carbon monoxide kills quietly. Keep generators at least 20 feet away and never run them under an awning or near vents.
Using a propane stove or oven for heat. Cook with it, not heat with it. Propane combustion produces CO in an enclosed space — always crack a window when cooking and never use it as a heater.
Plugging everything back in at once when power returns. Let power stabilize for a minute or two, then reconnect appliances one at a time to avoid tripping breakers or surging sensitive electronics.
Opening the fridge repeatedly. Every time you open it you lose cold air. Keep it closed as much as possible and only open when necessary. That food will stay safe longer than you think if you leave the door shut.
Power outages are one of those things that sound worse than they are. Most of the time they're resolved within a few hours and become nothing more than a story you tell around the campfire later. The campers who handle them the smoothest are the ones who didn't panic, had a flashlight within reach, and knew to check their own breaker before assuming the worst. We take our electrical infrastructure seriously at Buckeye Beach Park and work quickly to resolve any issues that come up on our end. But no campground is immune to what the weather and the power grid throw at us — so a little preparation on your side goes a long way. Stay safe, stay comfortable, and as always — if something's going on at your site, stop by the office or flag down a staff member. We're here. □ □ Come Stay at Buckeye Beach ParkThe only RV park and marina right on Buckeye Lake — with electric, water, and sewer hookups on every seasonal site. Family-owned since 1986.

The mornings get a little quieter, the light changes, and you can just feel fall coming. For a lot of our seasonal campers that's great news — fall camping at Buckeye Lake is genuinely some of the best camping of the year. But your RV needs a little attention before those crisp nights arrive. Here's exactly what to do. Smaller crowds, brilliant foliage around the lake, campfires that feel necessary instead of optional — fall camping is worth staying for. The trick is making sure your rig is ready so you're not scrambling when the first cold front rolls through Ohio. □ 1. Start With Your Heating SystemYour RV furnace has been sitting idle all summer. Before you need it at 11pm on a 38-degree night, make sure it actually works. □ 2. Seal Drafts & Add InsulationA drafty RV loses heat fast. Most warmth escapes through windows, vents, and door gaps — all easy and inexpensive fixes.
Windows — Thermal Curtains & Reflectix
RV windows are poorly insulated. Thermal curtains make a noticeable difference — close them at night and you'll feel it immediately. For more, cut pieces of Reflectix (foil bubble wrap insulation, available at any hardware store) to fit your windows. It reflects heat back into the rig and keeps cold from coming through the glass. Easy to put in at night and pull out in the morning.
Roof Vents — Vent Cushions
Roof vents are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in an RV. Foam vent cushions (also called vent pillows) press into the vent opening from inside and create an insulating seal. About $10–$15 each and one of the most effective things you can do for warmth. Just remember to remove them before you open a vent.
Doors & Weatherstripping
Run your hand around the entry door and slide-out seals on a windy day. Feel air moving? The weatherstripping needs attention. Replacement strips are cheap and easy to apply. A door draft stopper at the base of the entry door is another quick fix — small gaps lose more heat than most people expect.
RV Skirting for Late-Season Stays
If you're staying into October or beyond — like many of our seasonal campers at Buckeye Beach Park do — skirting your rig is worth considering. Skirting wraps around the base of the RV, traps air underneath, and insulates the floor from wind chill. It makes a dramatic difference in how warm the floor feels and how hard your furnace has to work. Foam board or purpose-built RV skirting panels both work well. □ 3. Protect Your Water & PlumbingFrozen pipes are one of the most common — and most expensive — fall camping problems. Ohio nights can dip below freezing in October, sometimes earlier. A little prep now prevents a big repair bill later.
⚠️ Know your freeze threshold. Most RV water lines and tanks can freeze when temps drop to 32°F or below for several hours. If overnight lows are forecasted near freezing, take action before you go to bed — not after you wake up to a problem.
Switch to a Heated Water Hose
Your fresh water hose runs from the spigot to your RV and sits exposed to outdoor temps all night. Standard hoses freeze well before your interior pipes do. A heated drinking water hose has a built-in heating element that keeps water flowing even when temps drop below freezing. They run $50–$100 and are worth every penny the first cold morning you turn on the tap and water actually comes out.
Insulate Exposed Pipes
Wrap any water lines running through uninsulated compartments or near exterior walls with foam pipe insulation or self-regulating heat tape. Pay extra attention to the area under the rig and near exterior access panels — that's where cold finds the pipes first.
Keep the Furnace Running at Night
The best protection for interior plumbing on a cold night is keeping the furnace running. Even a low setting around 55°F keeps enough warmth circulating to prevent freezing. Don't turn the heat completely off thinking you'll save propane — a burst pipe costs far more than a tank of gas.
Open Cabinet Doors Under Sinks at Night
A simple trick most people never think of — open the cabinet doors under your kitchen and bathroom sinks on cold nights. It lets warm air from the rig circulate around the pipes in those cabinets, which are often against exterior walls and more vulnerable than the rest of your There's a moment every August when you feel it — the mornings get a little cooler, the light shifts just slightly, and you realize fall is closer than you thought. For a lot of our seasonal campers, that's actually exciting news. Fall camping at Buckeye Lake is something special. But before those crisp October nights arrive, your RV needs a little attention. Here's what to do to stay comfortable all the way through the end of the season. Fall camping is some of the best camping of the year — smaller crowds, brilliant foliage around the lake, cooler temps that make the campfire feel necessary rather than optional. The trick is making sure your rig is ready so you're not scrambling when the first cold front rolls through. □ Start With Your Heating SystemYour RV furnace has probably been sitting idle all summer.

They cost about $10–$15 each and are one of the most effective things you can do to keep warmth inside. Just remember to remove them before opening the vent.
Doors & Weatherstripping
Run your hand around the edges of your entry door and slide-out seals on a windy day. If you feel air moving, the weatherstripping needs attention. Replacement weatherstripping is inexpensive and easy to apply. A door draft stopper at the base of the entry door is another quick fix. Small gaps make a bigger difference in heat loss than most people expect.
RV Skirting
If you're planning to stay on your seasonal site well into October or beyond, skirting your rig is worth considering. Skirting wraps around the base of the RV and traps air underneath, which insulates the floor and protects your underbelly from wind chill. It makes a dramatic difference in how warm the floor feels and how hard your furnace has to work.

They run $50–$100 and are worth every penny the first frosty morning you turn on the faucet and water actually comes out.
Insulate Exposed Pipes
Any water lines running through uninsulated compartments or near the exterior walls of your rig are vulnerable to freezing. Wrap exposed pipes with foam pipe insulation (available at any hardware store for just a few dollars) or self-regulating heat tape.

A simple trick that most people don't think about — on cold nights, open the cabinet doors under your kitchen and bathroom sinks. This lets warm air from the rig circulate around the pipes inside those cabinets, which are often against exterior walls and more vulnerable to freezing than the rest of your plumbing. □ Check Your Battery & Power
Test Your House Batteries
Cold weather reduces battery capacity significantly. A battery that holds a full charge in August may struggle to make it through a cold October night. Test your house batteries now while you still have time to replace them if needed. Check for corrosion on the terminals and clean them with a wire brush if necessary. If your batteries are more than 4–5 years old, consider replacing them before the season ends.
Test Your CO & Smoke Detectors
Fall means closed windows, running furnaces, and more time spent inside — exactly when carbon monoxide becomes a concern. Test your CO detector and smoke detector now and replace the batteries if there's any question. This is non-negotiable. If your CO detector is more than 5 years old, replace it entirely. □ Exterior Checks Before Fall Weather Arrives
Inspect & Reseal Caulking
Walk around your rig and look at the caulking around windows, vents, slide-out edges, and roof seams. Caulk that's cracked, peeling, or missing is an invitation for water to get in — and fall rains around Buckeye Lake are no joke. Reseal anything that looks questionable with RV-appropriate lap sealant or self-leveling roof caulk. Water damage is expensive; a tube of sealant is not.
Check Your Tires
Tire pressure drops approximately 1 PSI for every 10°F drop in temperature. Tires that were properly inflated in summer will be underinflated by fall. Check pressure when the tires are cold and inflate to your rig's recommended PSI. While you're at it, inspect the sidewalls for any cracks or weathering — fall is a good time to catch issues before storing for winter.
Awning Care
Fall means wet leaves, morning dew, and the occasional surprise rain. Make sure your awning fabric is clean and fully dry before rolling it up — storing a wet awning leads to mildew that's very hard to get rid of. Don't leave the awning out overnight in fall. Wind and rain can catch it off guard, and a cold snap that freezes a wet awning can damage the fabric and the roller mechanism. □ Make the Inside Feel Like FallOnce the practical stuff is handled, fall camping is genuinely one of the most enjoyable times to be on a site at Buckeye Lake. Here's what makes the inside of the rig feel right for the season:
□ Extra blankets and layered bedding. Swapping your summer quilt for a heavier comforter and adding a fleece layer underneath makes cold nights genuinely cozy rather than something to endure.
□ Use the campfire more intentionally. Fall evenings around a fire at Buckeye Lake are something you remember. Bring good firewood, a cast iron pan for the coals, and plan to stay outside later than you think you will.
☕ Stock the pantry for warm mornings. Fall camping is coffee-and-flannel weather. Stock up on the things that make a slow morning inside the rig feel like exactly where you want to be — good coffee, oatmeal, soups, chili ingredients. The campsite kitchen earns its keep in autumn.
If you ask most of our long-time seasonal campers which month is their favorite, August comes up more than any other. The lake is warm, the days are long, there's still plenty of summer left — and there's an energy around Buckeye Lake in August that's hard to put into words. Here's what makes it special. □ The Lake at Its BestBy August, Buckeye Lake has had all summer to warm up. Water temperatures are at their peak — warm enough to stay out for hours without a care. The sunsets start coming a little earlier than July, which means that golden hour on the water hits at a time most people are still awake to enjoy it. August on Buckeye Lake is lake life in full swing.
□ Boating & Cruising
With 3,100 acres of water and more than 20 islands to explore, there's no shortage of territory to cover. August weekend mornings are especially peaceful — get out early before the afternoon wind picks up and you'll have stretches of the lake almost to yourself. The no-wake zones near the shore keep things calm for kayakers and paddleboarders while the main water stays lively.
□ Fishing
Buckeye Lake's shallow, warm water makes for excellent fishing all summer — and August is no exception. Bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish are all active. Early morning and evening are the best windows. Plenty of our dock guests fish right off their slip before the rest of the park wakes up. It's one of the quieter pleasures of having a slip on a no-wake zone.
□ Kayaking, Paddleboarding & Jet-Skiing
The lake accommodates just about every kind of water recreation. Kayakers and paddleboarders love the calmer coves and island channels. Jet skis are permitted on the lake within the designated Speed Zone on the western portion. Whatever your speed — literally — there's a corner of Buckeye Lake that fits.
□️ The Sandy Beach
Buckeye Beach Park is just three blocks from a sandy beach on the lake — and August is when it earns its name. Pack a cooler, bring the chairs, and spend an afternoon with your feet in the sand. It's about as close to a lakeside vacation as central Ohio gets. □ August Events Worth Knowing AboutAugust around Buckeye Lake is never boring. Here are some of the highlights happening on and around the lake this time of year. □️ Worth the Short Drive in AugustAugust is peak season for everything within day-trip distance of Buckeye Lake. A few worth putting on the radar:
□ Buckeye Lake Winery
Right around the lake, the winery has live music, outdoor seating, and lake views. In August they're running events regularly — worth checking their calendar before you head out for the evening.
□ Dawes Arboretum
10–20 minutes north of the lake, the Dawes Arboretum is 2,000 acres of trails, gardens, and labeled trees. August is a great time to go before the fall crowds arrive. Twelve miles of hiking trails and a peaceful half-day out of the sun if you need a break from the water.
□️ Downtown Granville
One of the prettiest small towns in Ohio, Granville is an easy drive from the lake. A summer afternoon walking the main street, grabbing lunch, and browsing the shops is hard to beat. August evenings downtown are particularly nice.
□ Weldon's Ice Cream
A summer evening isn't complete without a stop at Weldon's. A Buckeye Lake tradition — the lines get long in August for good reason. Go early or go late, and get two scoops. You're on vacation.
□ Newark Earthworks
Just a short drive away, the Newark Earthworks are a UNESCO World Heritage Site — one of the largest geometric earthwork complexes in the world, built by the Hopewell culture around 2,000 years ago. If you haven't been, August is a great time to visit before the season winds down. ☀️ Why August Feels DifferentThere's a particular feeling that settles in at Buckeye Lake in August. Summer is still here, but there's a quiet awareness that it won't be forever. People linger a little longer on the dock at night. The evenings feel more intentional. The grill runs later. Nobody's in a hurry to go inside. We've seen it every summer for nearly four decades from our spot on the lake. August has a way of making people pay attention — to the water, to the sunset, to the people they're with. It's one of the things that makes this place so hard to leave at the end of the season.
