Visitors often highlighted the exceptional family amenities and scenic riverside sites, though noted close spacing between campsites. Several guests reported town traffic and railroad noise impact the peaceful atmosphere.

Great location, laking facilities

The campground runs along 100 yards or so of the tuscarawas River. Sandwiches by a railroad, and walking path. They allow you to drive to your spot to pack/unpack, but have to park in the lot. While the campsites are scenic and what you expect... the washroom, especially the shower are pretty lacking. There's a nice covered picnic area with grills available with your own gas. And a small (toddler) kids area. All in all, a great cheap spot for a quick stay.

We stayed mid September and there was live music walking distance every night, a cute ice cream shop a short walk over the bridge, and a nice playground on the other side of the river that was also an easy walk.

I didnt partake in the canoes... but they do a river clean up monthly and really seem to enjoy what they do.

All in all a great cheap spot for a quick stay.

In Town...if that’s your thing :)

Came across the Canal Fulton campground on a tour of the Towpath Trail in North East Ohio. This campground is nestled in the small town of Canal Fulton with plenty to do!

Very few campsites can say they totally cater to families. This one does! From mini golf, nearby ice cream, canoe rentals, volleyball, and even a playground for the little kids. This is family camping “the way it used to be.” ;-)

True to most of the campgrounds along the towpath trail, this one seems built for hikers, bikers and primitive campers. But UNlike most, the Canal Fulton campground has plenty of sites to choose from: 17 total. Granted, most of those sites are right on top of each other, but all in all it’s pretty good for an in-town campground.

The only potential downside is the proximity to town traffic. It’s definitely not the “quiet and reclusive” type of site, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, this place is sure to satisfy :-)

Quick tip: reserve your canoe spot up to 24 hours in advance. Definitely the big draw for this campground. you can Count on a nice float down a lazy river :-)
