What are the requirements to rent an RV in Ohio?

Most RV rentals require you to be at least 25 years old and have a valid U.S. driver’s license. Some owners will rent to drivers 21 and up with extra insurance and a clean driving history.

Do I need a special driver’s license to rent an RV in Ohio?

No special license needed. A standard driver’s license will cover most rentals under 26,000 lbs, which includes almost every RV on Outdoorsy. If you’re planning to rent a large commercial-style rig, double-check the weight before booking.

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Ohio?

Rates typically range from $100 to $225 per night for standard RVs and campervans. Premium or luxury rigs can go higher, especially during the summer and fall foliage season. Prices can also vary by location—Columbus and Cleveland tend to have a wider selection.

Are there mileage and generator usage limits when renting an RV?

Yes. Most rentals come with a mileage allowance—usually 100–150 miles per day—and a set number of generator hours. Additional mileage or generator use may cost extra, so it’s worth checking the fine print.

Can I take a rented RV to national parks or campgrounds in Ohio?

Ohio has an extensive network of campgrounds that are RV-friendly, including sites in Cuyahoga Valley National Park and most state parks. Some campgrounds have length limits, so make sure your rig will fit before reserving a spot.

The Ohio Outdoors

Rent an RV in Cleveland and make the short drive to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which lies along the Cuyahoga River. It encompasses a restored section of the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, as well as the Canal Exploration Center that details the history of this iconic 19th-century waterway. Hiking trails wind through the park’s scenic hills and forests while the East Rim Mountain Bike Trail has been designed specifically for off-road biking. Don’t miss a visit to the photogenic Brandywine Falls or a ride on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. Nearby, electric RV sites at the Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park or the Davy Crockett Campsite in Peninsula provide convenient locations for exploring the area.If you’re interested in Ohio’s Native American history, head to the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe. It features several earthen mounds that were built 2,000 years ago, as well as geometrically-shaped earthworks. They’re intertwined with the spiritual and ceremonial traditions of the Hopewell culture, which flourished between 200 BC and AD 500. There are plenty of RV parks near Chillicothe where you can park the Ohio motorhome rental, including the Shawnee Valley Campgrounds, the Sun Valley Campground, and the Walnut Creek Campground & Resort.Escape to the wilderness of the Wayne National Forest, which spans 883,000 acres in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It’s renowned for its backcountry hiking, with more than 300 miles of trails that extend through the park’s rolling hills, waterways, and tracts of private land. All-terrain vehicles and horseback riders are permitted on many of the trails, although permits may be required. The Iron Ridge and Oak Hill Campgrounds at the Lake Vesuvius Recreation Area offer RV sites, with both water and electric connections available.

Exploring Ohio's Cities

Spend a day (or two) exploring the Ohio capital, Columbus, which is home to the Ohio Statehouse and the riverfront Center of Science and Industry. Stretch your legs in the parks that line the Scioto River along the Scioto Mile before admiring the American and European paintings on display at the Columbus Museum of Art. The city’s European heritage is celebrated at the German Village, which is clustered with restored brick houses established by 19th-century settlers. There are several RV campgrounds in Columbus, including the Alton RV Park and the Korbel North Campground.Perched on the shores of Lake Erie, Cleveland is renowned for its unique neighborhoods that include the Warehouse District with its vintage atmosphere and the foodie hub of the Gateway District. The city’s arts scene centers around Playhouse Square while the Cleveland Museum of Art and Museum of Contemporary Art both feature engaging exhibits throughout the year. If you’re traveling with kids, don’t miss a visit to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which is home to animal species from Australia, Africa, and Asia. The Streetsboro / Cleveland SE KOA is situated just south of the city and offers a range of full hookup sites plus a seasonal swimming pool.In the far southwestern reaches of Ohio is the city of Cincinnati, which sprawls along the Ohio River and centers around a pedestrian-friendly downtown area. Admire the 19th-century buildings of the Over-the-Rhine district, then pick up fresh produce and locally-made handicrafts at the Findlay Market. The Art Deco Union Terminal has been transformed into the impressive Cincinnati Museum Center. Its exhibits cover everything from history to science. If you want to see the Cincinnati Reds in action, head to the Great American Ball Park, or enjoy ice skating during the winter at Fountain Square. Looking for RV campgrounds in Cincinnati? Head to the Hidden Valley RV Park or the FMCA Campground.
