No one was staying at the campground and no injuries were reported, said Bill May, Whitehouse assistant fire chief.

Fire officials were still trying to determine a cause, Mr. May said.

Whitehouse and Swanton fire departments responded to the scene, as well as a crew from the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard, who responded as a precaution when a propane tank attached to a grill exploded, Mr. May said.
