## Overview

Primitive tent camping on the Greenville Peace Treaty Line, Buckeye Trail, Ohio-Erie Canal Towpath Trail, Scenic Byway, Tuscarawas River Water Trail, Great American Rail Trail, and American Discovery Trail!

Located on the historic Ohio-Erie Canal between the village of Bolivar Ballparks and the McDonnell trailheads on the towpath trail ten miles south of Canton, Ohio, and 1.5 miles west of I-77 exit 93 on Scenic Byway Rt 212 in beautiful Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

The Peace Park is designed for bikers, hikers, dog walkers, and anyone traveling through to book a campsite, even if no one is available to meet and greet. Campers, once booked, may go to an available campsite and set up camp.

Dog-friendly, handicapped-accessible Porta-Jon with hand sanitizer, shared electricity for charging phones, pristine aquifer water, picnic tables, fire pits, fire-side benches, birds, butterflies, lightning bugs, wild turkeys, deer, and other wildlife are often seen.

Please note: We're located on a section of the Ohio-Erie Canal Scenic Byway, the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad, and at a 90-degree corner with a slight slope that causes trucks to downshift and brake. If you're a light sleeper, we recommend bringing earplugs! We now offer disposable, individually packaged earplugs in our Porta-Jon.

## Recent reviews

> Towpath Trail Peace Park was a decent place to stay! Joe was really nice and wanted to share so much history about the area, which was awesome! The food grade hose was helpful for us to hose down after 60 miles on the towpath. The spot is close to a somewhat busy road and there is an active rail line close by so if you’re sensitive to car and train sounds while trying to sleep, maybe pack some earplugs! A sweet calico kitty visited our tent in the morning and hung out while we packed up. What a delight! I would stay there again.

> Thank you, Joe, for the campground right on the towpath trail. I had a good night’s sleep during my bike trip and enjoyed talking with you and learning about the local history. It’s also convenient to Bolivar with a bike trail the whole way.

> Actually I was not able to use my campsite. I thought it was on the part of the Towpath on the Ohio to Erie Trail, but it’s about 12-15 miles south of that location. Instead I stayed in Massillon Hampton with my fellow riders. That said, the site looked nice and the price was right.
