LETS Dock Campground - Syracuse in Meigs County OH - ESTABLISHED: August 2012

Before the dams on the Ohio River, an area called "The Beach" was known as "the hot spot of southeast Ohio". Airplane rides, one professional baseball game, a pavilion, people picnicking, dancing, and enjoying family, friends and the breathtaking river view were the norm.

My Grandpa Williams' family purchased this land in the 1940s and he spent many hours teaching my sister, brother and me how to drive his John Deere tractor across the fields. Thus began our love of the land and in 1985 we erected a cabin where our family & friends camped, picnicked and boated. Once Grandpa Williams no longer farmed and the Ohio River became more of a "playground", the idea this land could again be a wonderful place for many people to enjoy began to manifest.  The campground, a vision and dream of my mother's, became my commitment and one year ago we began LETS Dock Campground.  August 2012 utilities were completed, a 110' dock was built, roads were put in place and our dream took flight!

LETS Dock Campground offers 76 spacious campsites with full utilities. The children's play area has a cool 3' diameter tunnel to explore, making the mound above a great addition to their bicycle course and hill climbing! Children can also swing the day away on a horse named "Dee".   Supervised swimming above and fishing below the dock is allowed.

Midway down the river bank are five large "common area" fire pits.  When all five are blazing, 'FIRE IN THE PITS" is a majestic sight.   Campers enjoy roasting a hot dog or marshmallow while watching the river traffic. Not knowing whether a large barge, the Mississippi Queen or even a pirate ship will be the next vessel to appear, excitement always looms just around the river's bend. We once witnessed a sea plane land and take off!

"The Barn" offers a fruit and vegetable stand, with plans for a gift shop and snack sales.   Our horses enjoy quiet visits from campers, and people friendly pets are welcome as well as golf carts.  Corn Hole competitions, Chinese lantern lighting, Christmas in July, pumpkin carving and many more activities are capped off with a season ending awesome Halloween Party!

Our goal is to build a community of fellowship with our seasonal campers as well as our weekend warriors in Meigs County, OH.

Thank you to my wife Shannon, sons Lincoln & Easton, mom Judy, father & mother-in-laws Rodney and Andrea, brother Ryan & sister-in-law Jill, sister Jane Ann, friends Justin, John, Jeff & Phil, Grandpa Baxter, Uncle Rod, and dad Jack for all your support, hours of consultation and donated labor.

We have many more exciting ideas in the making and invite you to come be a part of the LETS Dock Campground family while making this your "hot spot" in southeast Ohio.
