Camping on Public Grounds

[Bowhunter57]

I've only hunted on public grounds a few times. Some public hunting grounds have camping available and some do not.

Do you have to be in a designated camp site, on public grounds?
Are there any regulations or "rules" saying that you can't just hike in a ways and setup your own hunting camp?

It depends on the public ground afaik

Only one or two places in Ohio that allow camping in a small designated areas other than state and national parks. Woodbury is one of them, I used to go there every year with a group, but havent done it in year. ODNR changed the rules and really cracked down on Woodbury. So to be clear, there is no camping on state hunting property.

Wayne National Forest. Find some flat ground and set up camp.
