11. The cabins are to die for. But if you want the park has spots for tent camping

Casselman’s Bridge in Grantsville built in 1813 and used to 1933.

I live in Columbus, Ohio…. Clintonville area. I found New Germany years ago and have been
back many times since.

The little park has some real history behind it and the cabins were built by the C.C.C. during the
depression …. And it has paid back the area many times over. The park isn’t huge and you can
hear the trucks gearing down out on New Germany RD but the silence @ times is golden and the
chestnut paneling glows.

Btw the fire in the wood stove is great watching.
