    Beautiful state park. Miles and Miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Much more elevation than you would expect from the area. The campground was very well kept. No electricity and a simple outhouse but a great camping experience. Water available by the pavilion.

    it's nice to camp. pit toilets are ok, not my favorite, but ok - if you keep them clean and supplied with hand sanitizer. that was the knock, they didn't. it's pretty too and the sites are big. tons of parking. the COVID-19 memorial is worth seeing, beautiful sculpture, beautiful view, nicely designed area around it. that alone is worth the trip.

    The new Covid-19 Memorial is an amazing piece of sculpture. The drive in is nice and everything is in good repair. I don't play disc golf but this course is huge and many were playing today! Make no mistake. These trails are much more challenging than a flat, gravel trail in other parks. Lots of steep elevation increases and decreases. There are horse trails, as well. My reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the maps. Not easy to read and figure out. The trails are confusing if you are just hiking and not following the disc golf. The address in the passport is wrong for the park office and takes you to a huge farm outside the park entrance.

    This is an amazing park with some dramatic views. It has a lengthy trail system and nice amenities. I was a little disappointed with the trail markings for the Sugarloaf Mountain trail. There were very few blazes and hardly any signage. This is definitely something that needs addressed. Other than that, I have no complaints. I will definitely be back.

    This is one of the more challenging hikes close to Columbus. The ridge trail has some decent elevation, and there's 25 miles of trails! The downside is the trails are poorly marked, and don't coincide with the maps, so if you do a loop trail there's a risk of getting lost.

    A great park to visit, full of Ohio history, hiking trails and clean facilities. Even though the toilets are pits, they are still clean and did not have a terrible smell. The campground was nicely kept and the views were fantastic. Only thing missing was a little shade cover. We had a wonderful camping trip.

    Beautiful park with deer and disc golf course. Nice pavilion, tables, swings and play area. There's also a really cool story trail.

    This park is beautiful. In the morning, you're above the fog and can see over the valley. We came at night so didn't realize how beautiful it was. The only downside is the pit toilet in the camping area so you can't wash your hands.

    Beautiful primitive campsites. Really nice park for the kids to play on, trails throughout the park. Would recommend to anyone for a beautiful getaway!

    I love Great Seal State Park! The Storybook Trail was short, yet fun and entertaining for my kids. Love hiking here when I was a teen and love bringing my kids here now!!
