4. Be Part of an Important Conservation Story

Did you know the campground is named after the Eastern hellbender, North America’s largest (and super cool) salamander? These elusive creatures are endangered in Ohio, but thanks to conservation efforts led by The Wilds and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, young hellbenders are being raised and released into healthy streams. By staying here, you’re supporting real wildlife conservation in action!

5. Make Every Moment an Adventure

Beyond safari tours, there’s no shortage of things to do! Hike and bike through scenic trails, watch the sunset over the rolling hills, and gather around the campfire for stories, s’mores, and stargazing. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or just a love for the great outdoors, every day is a new adventure at Hellbender RV Campground!
