Exploring ‘The Wilds’ and its New ‘Hellbender’ Campground
Update: 2025-05-06
Description
WCM’s Park Update catches up with Hannah Smith, campground supervisor for The Wilds, on the new Hellbender RV campground that is set to open in late May. The park sits on a 75-acre plot and will feature 73 campsites.
Smith explores the mission of The Wilds, a conservation program under the umbrella of the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo and Aquarium, and how the campground expands that mission and provides more access for guests to learn about the animals that The Wilds care for.

The show is hosted by Ben Quiggle, editor of Woodall’s Campground Magazine, and Mike Gast, president of the `Imi Ola Group.
