About
Natural Springs Resort - RV Park, Campground and Recreation Destination, located at 500 S Washington St, New Paris, OH, offers a comprehensive outdoor experience with RV sites, tent camping, and cabin rentals. It features a large spring-fed lake for swimming, fishing, and boating, complemented by a range of family-friendly activities including water slides, mini-golf, a playground, gem mining, and an arcade, making it a popular spot for recreation and relaxation.
The primary swimming area at Natural Springs Resort is a spring-fed lake, not a traditional heated pool. Therefore, there are no maintained pool temperatures. The water temperature of the lake will naturally fluctuate based on the season and environmental conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for Natural Springs Resort are mixed, highlighting both strong positives and significant drawbacks. Many guests praise the natural spring and lake for swimming and various water activities, as well as the wide array of kid-friendly activities like fishing, basketball, volleyball, and bingo. The ice cream, pizza, and general food at the shop receive positive mentions, and some find the RV lots well-maintained with a clean pool. However, recurring negative themes include a lack of rule enforcement, specifically regarding late-night noise and excessive vehicles per lot, which some found created a 'trashy' atmosphere. Several guests reported negative experiences with staff, ranging from an unwelcoming check-in and unhelpful store employees to allegations of harassment, discrimination, and selective rule enforcement by a specific older male staff member. Other complaints include the removal of a popular water obstacle course without clear website notification, new charges for linens in upgraded cabins that were previously included, and cleanliness issues in the general bath houses. While some guests love the campground and plan to return, others state these issues, particularly the staff interactions and policy changes, mean they will not be coming back.

Trying not to make this a biased review based on my one time experience but this place could use some rule enforcement. First off.. at some point and time, people shouldn't be allowed to blast a bug speaker with explicit lyrics until early hours of the morning. Many campers spoke up to staff and the late night party campers but nothing was done. Second, there needs to be a limit on how many vehicles per lot. The lot next to us had 6 or 7 vehicles. Absolutely trashy. The place just turns into one big car lot and everyone is squeezed into a small lot on top of eachother. The positives: The natural spring itself is super cool and a lot of fun to swim in. The staff is very friendly and their pizza and ice cream is a must try! Bingo is a solid addition. Might consider returning.

We used to go here once a year for fair week but this will be our last time coming back We always enjoyed the cabins and the water obstacle course. 1. It did not state anything on website that obstacle course was taken down. 2. Making reservation for upgraded cabin and no longer provide linen for bedrooms or bathroom. These are extra separate charges. You have to bring own linen. This was not like this in the past. I'm already paying quite a bit for nicer cabin and to be charged even more is absurd. If taking away all of the basics at least provide better hand soap instead of mixing it with water to save on"cost" 3. Upon arrival the older lady with gray hair and glasses seemed annoyed and not welcoming. While checking in i did ask about the water obstacle course if still around and she blatantly said haven't had it for a year. It was just unpleasant checking in 4. Went to to store looking for a lighter and asked young staff member where they were and she just pointed over there in no direction she continued talking to friends. I went up again and asked exactly where and she finally came around the counter and she then says" oh we don't have any" and walked away. 5. My children were not impressed since they had great memories in the past coming here. That says a lot I will go to KOA in the future and other places that I know my family will have better experience

RV CAMPING LOTS- lots are well maintained. Most RV lots are Full hook-up. There are several pull through lots. There are several lots that overlook the lake and fountains. There are 18+ seasonal campers that have a lot of outdoor seating and decor that we noticed can be quite intrusive.You may want to ask that you not be placed next to a seasonal campers as they do spread out into lots beside them. BATH HOUSES- Bath houses had nice tile and flooring. The water pressure was good and could get very hot. I was told men’s shower area was dirty and not cleaned all week. Women’s shower was nice, sinks and toilets clean up an overall cleaning wouldn’t hurt. POOL- pool was big and clean. Bath house at pool area well maintained! LAKE- nice lake there are 3 fountains that they light up at night. There is an area roped off for swimming and water bouncing platforms and the rest of the lake you can kayak, paddle boat, paddle board. I only gave 4 stars mostly because the bath houses weren’t kept as clean as they should have been. We had a very nice , relaxing, 3 night stay and definitely recommend and we plan on going back sometime.

We really enjoyed our stay at Natural Springs; this place is our favorite campground. The place is clean; the kids had a blast doing numerous activities, swimming, fishing, playing basketball, and playing volleyball. You can rent golf carts, and the little food shop had excellent ice cream and decent food. This is definitely a great place to go camping or get away.

My family and I spent this past weekend at Natural Springs Resort. When we arrived check in was easy and the girl at the counter was very sweet and pleasant. Our cabin was a decent size for us 6 and the location was perfect. (We had a loft cabin) We loved all the things available for the kids. We had a large group with us of a total of 26 people. Total we had 7 cabins rented out. There was one staff member, an older gentleman with gray hair that wore a green Natural springs shirt at all times that seemed to ,in my opinion, harass us. We was stopped and asked about my daughter if she had a license, which we was honest and she did not. We was told she was not allowed to drive our golf cart unless she has a license which we respected and apologized . ( She is 16) The rest of our stay we watched children as young as my son, 7 years old, driving but he didn't say a word to them. He approached us at night saying we was to loud yet the campers across from us was just as loud and was left alone. The next day he came to our site about our music then a little later parked at the maintenance shelter behind us and just watched us with another staff member. This went on for a good half hour at least. I felt like he was being very discriminating and knit picking on our family simply because we was ethnically mixed. He even came into the store when we was in there with all of our kids just to watch us. Made us feel very uncomfortable. We will not be back to this camp ground! Sad because they do have a lot going on for kids and the cabin locations we had was right next to the park.
