Ohio Parks FREE during the recession

Ohio remains one of only seven states not to charge its park admission fees. The state is keeping all of its 74 parks free and open during the recession.

Last year their Getaway Rentals  were very popular and they anticipate they  will be even more so this year... they cover a gamut of possibilities, from canvas teepees and yurts to cedar cabins and Rent-A-RV.

They are for people who  like to camp, but they don't have the equipment. It's midway between staying in a cottage and tent. Getaway Rentals - Basic package has futon bunks, a microwave and a dorm refrigerator at a campsite. Prices are $35 to $100 a night.

Ohio Parks are even offering a rewards card - it's free to sign up.
