"I lost count of the number of accidents I either witnessed or drove through on my way to Ohio in this mornings snow storm. Finally reached Campbell Hill, OH in the afternoon. Blisteringly cold (for OH). I was concerned the trade school/community college that Campbell Hill resides on would be gated and locked but was pleased to see it open. Jogged up to the top of the hill and signed the trail register. Back to the car and off to Indiana. The peak is the former home of the Bellefontaine Air Force Station, where the 664th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron maintained a Cold War early warning radar. Currently, the summit is occupied by the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center and is open to visitors Monday through Friday. Located about 50 miles northwest of Columbus, Campbell Hill is classified as a glacial moraine and has been referred to as "the most manicured of the state highpoints." Campbell Hill ranks 43rd in height on the list of highest natural points in each U.S. state. " — wiweasel • Feb 24, 2024

"Had to be in Columbus for the weekend so we drove out to Campbell Hill and Hoosier Hill before the late flight home. Luckily had a beautiful clear day to enjoy the fall foliage along the way." — jodola • Nov 7, 2021

"This was my second visit to Campbell Hill, and the final side-trip on our epic road trip from Arizona to Maryland (via Texas). State high point #12 for my Mom! Last time I was here was in July 2019, and the campus was closed for the summer, so we had to walk in. Because we hit it on a Wednesday morning in early December this time, we actually got to drive onto the campus and right up to the high point! Snow all around, although apparently we weren't allowed to go sledding on the hill. :( Boo! (Not that we were going to, but it's the principle of the thing.) Classes changed while we were visiting - nostalgic to hear the electronic "bong bong bong" sound of the class-ending bells. A smooth visit. " — psychikingjes • Dec 9, 2020

"#2 for our 50 point challenge and the 2 summit for the day (Hoosier hill in the morning). Easy to get to, parked right at the summit. Signed register, took some pics, sat for a while, beautiful day. Quite a few people stopped while we were there. Good to get started, and these two appear to the the closest together. " — Cravins • Sep 26, 2020

"As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks. Another 14.5 hr epic start to a road trip from Thunder Bay, ON to get to Campbell Hill, OH with 8 minutes to spare before they closed the gate. 8am departure from Northern Ontario via Sault Ste Marie, down Michigan, and after a virtually non-stop day arrived at 10:22pm and scrambled around to find the highpoint as I was looking at a military gate and almost drove away before I saw the sign in the dark in a gate closing panic!" — alexjoseph • Aug 5, 2019

"State high points #21 (Campbell Hill, OH) and #22 (Hoosier Hill, IN) respectively for me! A long day with lots of driving. We started in Cleveland, OH, drove through Cuyahoga Valley National Park (saw Grapevine falls!), along portions of the Erie Canal, and then down and over to Campbell Hill and then across the border to Hoosier Hill. I did run up AND down the hill at Campbell Hill! That was exciting. No running at Hoosier Hill, it wasn't much of a walk from where you park to the high point itself. " — psychikingjes • Jul 6, 2019

"Went on a ~15mile bike ride from Mad River Ski Area. Only to find the highpoint all locked up! I guess they lock it on the weekend?!? Well I hopped the fence because I wouldn't get another chance anytime soon. A pretty windy day" — hollis83 • Apr 26, 2014

"The pic at the top of the page is from Wikipedia, and that's where I parked so I could have a 25 foot or so elevation gain summit experience!! I visited on a Sunday, and the High Point is technically closed, but I easily obtained permission by calling the Hi-Point Vocational Center Buildings and Grounds Department. This was suggested on another website; Peakbagger.com, I think, but don't quote me on that. It's a nice little area, and they have "fill in yourself" certificates, which I thought was pretty cool. Then took off on the hour and 45 minute drive to the Indiana High Point. " — Mr.Yuck • Jun 24, 2012

"Even being from Ohio, this is simply something to do only once, just to say you've done it. The views are rather bland, and you can literally park your car only a few yards from the "summit". It certainly doesn't have any sort of feel of a summit of any kind. Unless you're a high-pointer, don't waste your time or make a special trip just to do it." — joshwill • Nov 16, 2011

"Cold day (20 degrees). Though it's not particularly exciting, the site is very nicely maintained. There is even a climbing register that is provisioned with "certificates" for those who attain the highpoint. I suppose we could have hiked in from the gate, but we simply drove up and parked." — wbrouhaha • Dec 18, 2010
