Welcome to the

The Ohio RV and Boat Show is by far one of the best shows to find what you are looking for AND discover things you may not know that you need! With convenient parking and wide aisles this RV and Boat Show is the best way to shop for all your outdoor, camping, and

boating needs.


The show takes place at the Ohio Expo Center and uses three buildings. The Bricker Multipurpose, Celeste Center, and Voinovich. A tent connects the Bricker and Celeste buildings. The Voinovich building is accessible via a show-provided shuttle that you can pick up in the Bricker building. You can also enjoy the ON SITE Beer Garden and refreshments by the legendary Schmidt's Sausage Haus!
