We do not permit any overnight camping in our parks with the exception of our backpacking trail campsites at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park and Scioto Grove Metro Park, both of which require a reservation. Backpacking is free at both locations, and reservations can be taken by using SignUpGenius. Firewood is provided by park team members. Campfires are only permitted in designated fire pits found at the campsites. No cutting of firewood is permitted. We encourage you to contact the on-duty Park Ranger at Scioto Grove Metro Park at 614.949.1078 for any day-of questions.
