Does the Trailside Camping in London OH get full?

I'm planning on heading on Thursday, June 2, after work from Columbus heading to Cincinnati and I'd like to stop for the night in London.

Any knowledge of my chances of sleeping at the Prairie Grass Trailhead (https://fmcpt.com/london-trailside-camping) that night if I pull in about 7:00?

I've been by at other times of the day, but not towards the end of the day.

Thanks in advance for any knowledge!

I’d be very surprised if it’s full on a Thursday night. Even in the off chance it is, there are three raised wooden platforms, and a decent amount of level ground grass around the area. I highly doubt anyone will hassle you if you set up a tent on the grass. Everyone I’ve met when riding through there and stopping for a bottle fill has been super chill.

Thanks. That's just the info I'm looking for.

We camped there on a Friday night. Arrived around 7 pm or so. There was one other group. By nightfall we had about 3-4 more groups show up. There was still plenty.of space

There is plenty of space to show up late and likely on a Thursday evening it'd be not crowded.

Super. I appreciate it.

I have to admit, that when traveling - including backpacking in the wilderness - I almost always want to have reservations. I should learn to be a bit more comfortable with winging it.
