Located just East of Hillsboro Ohio Rocky Fork State Park is situated on the shores of Rocky Fork Lake. We visited the park while on our way to East Fork. This state park offers a fairly good size campgrounds with RV hookups, a camp store, shower and rest room facilities with laundry. There is a nice beach area for swimming. The lake offers a marina, boating and fishing. There is a miniature golf and disc golf course as well.

Spent a night here in late September 25'. It was great. Quiet, the temperature was hot during the day and cool at night. The gift shop had a lot of stuff. The grounds were well kept and the employees were very helpful. Definitely want to stay here again.

We had a good weekend trip to the park. I was pleased with the group spot and other facilities at the park campgrounds. The shower facilities were a bit of a miss.
Using the group space was nice, there were even pads for two RVs and extra hookups for power, if you need it. Lots of space for our 20 people, and we could have easily doubled that with room to still hang out.
The playground, mini golf, and Frisbee golf are all nice features, but a bit basic. The kids had fun, which is what's important. He mindful of the sun, there's little cover on them so the kids will bake.
The movie night was a nice idea, but it started at 9:00 so it was dark enough. Unfortunately the kids were worn out and only two made it through the show. Also, someone decided to light up a cigarette nearby, which bothered a few of them.
It was nice having the shop walking distance away for basics you forgot or broke.
The shower facilities need repairs. Warning to the guys, as of our visit, shower house #1, shower stall all the way down only does scalding hot water - it's being reported to the park services.
Other guests were pretty decent. There's always a few in that dense of an area, but the group grounds we had were more isolated so you didn't have people walking through or close to your space, which was nice. Sunday a few bugged out at 05:00, but the we're as quiet as their turbo diesels could be.
For camping, it has a lot of good options if you want to go and chill. There's better spots if you want hiking, but the lake has options to rent boats and stuff. The beach a mile or two down the road is sand on shore, then rocks and mussels so water shoes will come in handy.
Worth the trip!

It's a beautiful park. Plenty of amenities for campers and day use alike, there's a nice little camp store as well. Only a few short trails, but they are peaceful and not used my most visitors. They are a bit hard to find as they across the street from the main park entrances. Overall, a fairly nice place.

Planning to come back in the Fall. Very relaxing and well laid out. Food/store is about 15 minutes away. You have to drive to the trails. Tons of fishing areas. Lots of playgrounds. The check-in has bait, clothes, toys, fishing equipment, ice cream, etc.
