Five Ohio State Park Lodges are offering a special package to AARP members featuring accommodations, dinner, breakfast, gift shop discount, and a savings of up to 17 percent.
The AARP Member Package includes two nights of lodging in any lodge room type at choice of an Ohio State Park Lodge operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts. The package includes one dinner and two breakfasts per person in the lodge restaurant, plus one certificate for lodge gift shop purchases up to $25. Rate is based on double occupancy. Dinner and breakfast coupons do not include tax and gratuity and may not be used to purchase alcohol.
“Whether you want to head out with a pair of binoculars to look for some of the parks’ many species of birds, spend a quiet afternoon with a picnic and a book, or fish from a pier overlooking a breathtaking lake, there is something for just about everybody’s interests,” said Dianna Rom, regional director of sales and marketing for Ohio State Park Lodges. “We value AARP members, and we strive to offer a rich, memorable experience that those members will appreciate.”
The five Ohio State Park Lodges operated by concessioner Xanterra Parks & Resorts are located throughout the state and within an easy drive of major cities in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The lodges are Salt Fork State Park Lodge in central Ohio near Cambridge, Mohican State Park Lodge in north central Ohio near Loudonville, Punderson Manor State Park Lodge in northeastern Ohio near Newbury, Maumee Bay State Park Lodge in northwestern Ohio near Toledo and Deer Creek State Park Lodge near Columbus.
All of the lodges are located in picturesque parts of the state, but each has its own special appeal. Maumee Bay, for example, is on Lake Erie and appeals to both walleye fishermen and golfers who like a traditional links-style course. Punderson’s manor house features an elegant approach, while Mohican and Deer Creek offer expansive views of their lakes. Salt Fork is located in the hills of eastern central Ohio surrounded by a lush forest. All offer the creature comforts that so many people appreciate after an active day.
The lodges and parks offer a wide array of fun activities that are appealing to vacationers of all ages. Because there are so many recreational offerings, Ohio State Park Lodges are a great choice for multi generational groups seeking destinations with choices for every member of the group, no matter what their interests. Birding is a particularly popular activity, and it is common to see groups with two or three generations walking along nature trails, binoculars in hand. The parks also feature boating options from pontoon boats to canoes, and miles of hiking and cycling trails.
Rates for the AARP package start at $131.49 per night at Mohican; $132.49 at Salt Fork; $138.09 at Deer Creek; $148.66 at Maumee Bay; and $154.09 at Punderson Manor. To access individual park websites, click HERE.

AARP members also receive 15 percent discount on hotel rooms and 15 percent discount on golf when staying overnight.
All five lodges are open-year round and feature wide-ranging seasonal activities. Xanterra also operates the marina and facilities at Geneva Marina State Park in Geneva-on-the-Lake in northeastern Ohio.
