I enjoy hiking here with my family and dog. Its usually not too busy.

Large area to explore. First tail we found was near the marina and was flooded. Saw many people playing frisbee golf on a snowy/windy day, must be a fun course. Beach area has a neat playground. Might have to come back in summer to try out the swimming.

Played disco golf there this morning and it was a great course some very challenging holes. Overall a good course. The Lake is very nice with a 800 Long Beach great camping area with paved spaces. This was one of the nicest Midwestern state park step I have seen.

Nice trails along the river. Beach is good for a visit with family.

Its been several years since weve been here. Theyve really cleaned it up and improved it. Pleasantly surprised!

Beautiful park! Lightly used! Great Delaware resource! Its a well kept secret! Lets not let a large number of people in on it!

Nice park. Not busy most of the time which is a plus to me. Go there for their frisbee golf course. Its nice and maintained.

Very beautiful and well kept love the disc golf course

**Far off the road you will hear little to no traffic. All 214 camp sites are located within 4 loops with all-inclusive bathhouses in the center of each circle (meaning each bathroom contains a toilet, shower, sink & bench). Each site is spacious and many are shaded.**Sites are ELECTRIC only (not sure if any have water or FHU but weve never seen or been offered any in our several stays). A water spigot is located in the back of each loop. So fill your fresh water tank before you arrive & use bathhouse too.**Close to Waldo, OH - famous for bologna sandwiches & a great sausage shop is just north of the park. Columbus, Marion, Richwood, Marysville, Delaware, and Prospect are nearby (we have relatives in all of them!)Playgrounds. Boat launch. Great beach. Reasonable nightly rates. Book in advance if you wish to stay Fri or Sat as they are booked on these nights most of the time. Weekdays are quiet.**Park employees clean the bathhouses daily and natural resource officers drive thru daily. You will feel safe. The long drive in & out of the park will reward you with frequent sightings of deer, squirrel and birds.**Booking the park via ReserveAmerica is just a headache (and their accuracy of what sites are booked are often wrong) so we try to arrive on a weekday as the office can reserve & check you in on ARRIVAL DAY only. No advance res at the office.Good luck & enjoy your stay!

The state park here is beautiful, but i noticed a couple snakes in the water when we were walking around the pond so I dont know if Id be brave enough to go swimming here.

We like taking our puppies different places with us whether we just go out on our boat or hiking. The beach at Delaware State Park is pretty nice they have a mix of fine, coarse, and rocky sand that does extend into the water but what really sold us was that they have a fenced in area that goes down and out into the water so our dogs were able to play together in and out of the water, use the bathroom, and even rest while we were able swim and walk along the beach together which was so nice. The bathrooms were also pretty close which can be a godsend if you are boating, have kids or puppies. There was some shade on parts of the lake which isnt always the case with all bodies of water. There were some little islands even some you could pull your boat up to. We also liked that Delaware State Park had an awesome boat ramp at Buckeye Grove making getting the boat in and out of the water all that much easier for us. We also liked that it wasnt that much further than Alum Creek just a little bit more north I guess. We are wanting to try camping here next it seems like a pretty nice place to go. A little hard to find with Google unless you are looking for it though.

Great camp site, disc golf courses and beach! Bathrooms were decent

Great day in the park with my beautiful wife! End of season mushroom hunting was a success!

Awesome park! Wonderful camp sites, nice beach, beautiful walking/hiking/biking trails, and friendly staff. I enjoy camping and Delaware is by far the best camping experience Ive had in central Ohio!

Picnic by the beach. Very relaxing and the view is beautiful. Great place to go to with kids, a fun jungle gym and caterpillar for them to play on. Or just go to unwind. Going back soon!

The place was fabulous. I liked the quietness of the park. I like the layout of the park. I like the dog parks and playgrounds throughout the park. I like the tornado shelter at the park and we even had to use it. We did not get a chance to walk the trails this time but we have that in mind for next time. Along with the frisbee golf and the youth fishing spot. We r definitely coming back!!!!

Very nice.Beach nice. Covid guidelines met.Park was neat.

Lots of room and a few shelters and grills that are first come first serve. Plenty of space for kids to play. When playgrounds open up there is a nice playground also. Bathrooms are available too. Only gripe I have is the beach could use a little work cleaning it up and getting less rocks and more sand. Other than that great place to take the family

Went Monday August 17 at 9am to rent a pontoon boat for 2 hrs. Parking lot was empty and several pontoon boats docked. The kid at the marinara said all pontoons were reserved and we would be 5th on the waiting list. Why wouldn’t they put that stuff on the website correctly so families aren’t so disappointed after traveling so far. Typical state ran operation.

Very PEACEFUL & serene around the lake & in the woods! The walk around the dam is very very ENJOYABLE as well!

Beautiful state park , great disc golf course , extra 7 woods-walk course very difficult to navigate but overall a great place to spend the day

Great park facilities including a beach, fishing pond, disc golf and marina. Camping area is huge but you’re pretty close to your neighbors. Camp as a group and get 4-5 spots together.

Always clean, great place to take kids to play and explore.

Unfortunately I cannot find the pics. The park overall is 3.5. It needs some tlc in many places but the beach area is beyond hit. First off, a little sand would be nice.

Its a nice place to camp. Lake is to busy to fish or water ski. Fun if you have a boat. No water in campgrounds is a problem.

Great swimming beach. Beautiful State Park!

Just a basic beach, nothing spectacular. Not the cleanest, but not the dirtiest one Ive been to.

The campgrounds are lovely with plenty of shade and space and none too far from the restrooms. The campground itself is about a ten minute drive into the park whos entrance is five to ten minute drive from anywhere to eat so dont expect to be able to walk to food unless you brought your own

Camped here for the first time. Camp grounds were nice, parks were great for the kids, fresh blacktop and clean bath houses. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

I grew up around Delaware State Park. Its nowhere near as commercialized as Alum Creek State Park,which is nice. All shower rooms in the campground areas are centralized. Great crappie,bass,and catfish reservoir. Miles of hiking trails. Disc golf.

Granted the day I went was cold and windy I still got to see much of the park. The beach and campgrounds were closed as well as some of the restrooms. Still the view of the water with reflecting trees was beautiful. Then to find leaves and milkweed, always a bonus.

A nice campground where you can be pretty much spread out. Nice wooded campsites

Great big park. Really nice disc golf course thats probably the longest in Columbus.

Good park, nice place to camp. Close enough to Columbus and Delaware but far enough to seem like a getaway.

Always a great place to bird and roam through the trails. Lots of activities.

Such a great time on the water. Just wish marina was open for more than just ice. But...Covid....

Clean little beach, not too crowded

Just went to the beach. So much cleaner than a few years ago. Well come more often.

Dam is controlled based on southern lying bodies of water levels. Park was tore all to hell due to this and the smell is horrible. Its my favorite place to fish Crappie.

GREAT TIME!! And saw this guy at are campsite.

Nice scenery beautiful

Park was nice beach needs some sand bad. Can not walk on it without shoes so many rocks.

Very nice. New pavement. Clean areas. They could work on the rain though.

Very nice park.

Its definitely not a bad place but could use some more sand and less rocks!

Enjoyed the park, winter is coming and this tree is the last hanging on to fall. Beautiful 3.4 mile drive from SR 23 where the park entrance is, until you reach the campground office. Winter camping is great there.The 3 star rating is because of the bathroom. There is a laundry room on the back which was great. Hot showers, however, there is no heat. The toilet and shower stalls all have a 1.5 opening from the floor till the wall starts. A draft blows across the whole room.While the hot water is great, the artic blast is not.

Very nice park, beautiful & family oriented

Great sites, spears out and most are wooded

Play grounds need updated , abundance of wildlife sightings. Nice and quiet during the week.

Not crowded, the people around me were kind, and courteous, I absolutely love this Beach!

Wasnt too crowded and had loads of room.

Had a great weekend with family and friends. The park does a great job at making the camp sites safe during trick or treating. We even had a friendly park ranger stop in for a warm cup of coffee!Always a great times!!

Quiet, lots of trails to explore, kids loved swimming in the lake to cool off.

Great place to socially distancing picnic, beautiful and clean

Great state park with lots of camping spots. Very spread out area with relative seclusion in some camp sites. They have a beach area, marina, picnic pavilion and even a screen for movies outside. Be sure to bring your bug spray, as the mosquitos are some of the worst I have ever experienced. Also, cell coverage is spotty at best - so be prepared to disconnect for a while (or at least take a walk to get coverage). I look forward to camping here again!

Good place to take the family and do some swimming!

Beautiful park and one of the best disc golf courses Ive ever played!

The lake is surrounded by a rock/sand combo and the water didnt seem very clean.

Nice state park. Greatt for camping.

Nice park. Good fishing.

Great place for getting outside

It is always clean and well taken care of. Nice Marina and a great place to camp, hike, boat or picnic.

Nice marina, reasonable rentals, and really good deal on delicious ice cream!

Need sands but other than that its decent

Nice beach, few rocks between beach and parking lot bring shoes.

Great place to spend the day but with the covid scare theres not many picnic tables around.

We went here to hike. We did the Mink Run to Briar Patch trails. Strava said it was approximately 3 miles. The trails were a mess. Super muddy and hard to walk on. We thought Mink Run was bad until we got to the Briar Patch area. It was water logged which means mosquitos! By the end of the hike were were a mess. Was so happy to get back to the car. There was plenty of parking at the beginning of the trailhead, which is at the main marina. And there are bathrooms there as well. But beware, if bugs and mud aren’t your thing, find another trail.

Nice and clean for the beginning of the year...well see if it stays that way

Beautiful time of year for the park!

Nice and quiet, some of the amenities are older but very clean for a state park

A fun to go fishing with your friends and family

I know it is a state park, but no places for handicapp accessibility.

Great campground, clean bathrooms, couldnt ask for more

Been going there since I was a kid....love the updated bathrooms!

Nice beach and lake

Love camping here, come several times in a year.

One of the best state park in ohio!

Its a hidden gem I love how low key this lake is . Great crappy fishing.

Great Lake. Not a lot of crazies

Lake was too busy to let the kids tube safely.

Beautiful and quiet, great trails

Delaware Lake is a decent spot to go boating, fishing, and swimming. It is convenient living in Marion, just a short drive to take the wave runner out.

Perfect for family and friends hangout

Very peaceful, beautiful scenery.

Raccoons are out of control you need to do something about them!..will not go back!.very disappointed

Nice campground with nice facilities

Nice place, team working the park and marina are great.

Its lovely place!

If you are a nature person then it is must go place

Beautiful, clean park! I love the way the sites are laid out like pinwheels. This layout gives plenty of room on the sites, while also affording some privacy and keeps the sounds of other campers quieter than other parks I have been in.

Delaware Ohio State Park Marina very peaceful.

This park was bigger than I was expecting. Theres a huge lake, a beach and marina, and a couple of playgrounds. They also have a Little Free Library, which is awesome.

Great fishing atmosphere!

Always a good place meet plenty of new people

Great place to ride the motorcycle to and enjoy the view

The Best Dam I have ever been to

Great camping but be prepared to fight off the ratcoons at night! Not kidding dont leave anything out at night if you want to have it the next day! Fun place tho!

Wish they would clean the beach water up a bit like some do.

Park flooded, so standing water breeds mosquitoes, extreme dampness corodes electrical devises so had to use an adapter to get 110v. Bath house rarely cleaned and a haven for mosquitoes, otherwise its a day in the park.

Was windy and chilly but great to get outside
