Cuyahoga Valley National Park - CAMPING NO LONGER OFFERED

ABlue Hen Falls trail starts right across from the parking lot on Boston Mills.. 5 1/2 mls round trip.. Tough trail, rocky, roots, much going up hill...Bring a walking stick & water...

Sad to hear that camping is no longer available. We had our bikes and hauled our gear in with luggage carts. Hiking was fine but the best was riding along the historic canal path one way, and being able to take the vintage train back.

I arrived here hoping a primitive site was still available and indeed two were! They allowed me to walk in and decide the site that I'd like. I was only there for the night, but enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendliness of the employees!

Coyahoga Valley NO was our first stop on the planned trip(s) to each NP. What a jewel. Tucked in between Akron and Cleveland, this quiet NP has numerous hiking trails, historic buildings and the remains of the Ohio and Erie Canal. Well worth the side trip or destination.

We enjoyed our day here. We hiked over 20 miles so not the whole trail. The staff were amazing! Say some big snapper turtles, falcons, loads of birds. We stopped to read the information signs along the way about the locks. We also stopped at some of the farms. On our way back we stopped for a bite in peninsula. It had a huge selection of beer which was nice. Great day in the bike trail. I’d recommend doing it during the week as it is packed on the weekend.

I was expecting the trails to be harder...

But it was very relaxed and scenic. I took my dog and went about 5 miles. There’s plenty of parking, trails were not crowded, tons of access points and smaller trails to choose from. I wish there were more bathrooms along the trails. We could only access a toilet at the next town outlet/parking lot or a porta-John at a random park we found (we had to hike off the main trail to get to it). The people we ran into were all friendly. I will definitely be going back to explore more.

i’m here al the time!!! in fact i even work at the local ski resort Boston Mills. This place is wonderful and i’ve spent so much time here. i’m so lucky to live so close by. There’s endless things to do and so many waterfalls (hidden and public). This place is full of history and mystery. truly feels like home and is a wonderful place to camp!

Definitely had some cool views and hiking spots, but was overall underwhelming. Had a few waterfalls here and there, and is next to a cool town to explore. Good to see over one day but probably don’t need much more time than that.

This area is filled magnificent trails that you wouldn't believe are so close to a highly populated city. This is actually under the bridge that you take to enter the City of Akron. Lovely place to fish, hike, camp. paddle, or just relax for the day. The water is always flowing and there is a pretty neat dam right as you enter. If you get the chance take the time to visit.

The site was beautiful and serene! There are a total of three Backcountry sites along the same path, and we stayed at the third. It was easy to get there, and latrines and water fountain were available at Ottawa Picnic area maybe .3 miles from the site. We brought a tent and hammock and set both up to take in the gorgeous view as we were at the top of a large hill. Note: you need to get a permit (free) for these sites and park at either the Brecksville Nature Center or the Plateau Picnic area. We chose the nature center and it was about a 3.5 mile hike to campsite #3.

One of the most gorgeous places I’ve been!

We drove down to visit Cuyahoga from Michigan, and to be honest weren't expecting much. While the park does lack in some amenities for campers, it really is an unexpected bit of rocky wilderness. True, it's rare to feel very removed here, as most parts of the park are near to roadways and traffic sounds float through the trees, but the park itself is lovely. We especially enjoyed the ledges loop as it winds its way above and through some very unique rock formations.

The ledges loop is not difficult, with very little elevation change, just look out for tree roots! We also explored the falls and some other trails.

Overall i was very impressed with the park and will definitely be back!

Campsite was very clean and the trails were fun to hike. My kids enjoyed it! Beautiful scenery!

Cuyahoga Valley national park is a lovely park outside of Cleveland. This campsite was a little confusing about where we were allowed to park and for the price we paid for the site (15 or 20) there weren't any amenities. After a big rain, a lot of the sites had some serious puddles making pitching a tent difficult. A plus of the site was that it's right at the beginning of the Stanford trail to Brandywine falls, the nicest feature in the park in my opinion.

Great area to explore and hike and have group get togethers!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Beautiful trails, waterfalls and views. This is our favorite place to take a hike with the dog and she loves it too!

This is a short hike in Breksville to a beautiful waterfall. While the waterfall isn't huge it is spectacular. The trail is well marked, and the staff were well informed. we got in trouble kind of because we were hammocking to close to the waters edge. However the national park police were friendly enough to just tell us to move a little back for our own safety. great park in general.

While this national park is one of the most visited there is surprisingly little camping available. There is only 5 primitive sites which are really open but you have access to potable water in a tank an some porta-potties... On the upside you also have free firewood.

These sites are probably really more designed for people on there way back or out to do some backwoods true backpack camping.

This is one of my favorite places to go hiking, and enjoy the sun. I go here about once a week. They have public restrooms which are well maintained, Well marked trails, an open field to run around in, and of course a great view. The park employees were really friendly as well.

There are areas for all that outdoor stuff throughout the Cuyahoga Valley. Bike, hike, camp and swim. Excellent views and all athletic levels. Good climbs and level trails alike. Always enjoy doing the hiking spree in the fall.

This place is the jewel of Cleveland! it's just amazing. When you are here, even for just a half hour on your lunch break, you feel like you are on some nature vacation. I come here at least once a week to ride my bike, run or picnic. I have seen all sorts of wildlife. There are train rides and farmers markets and even a surprisingly large waterfall. I also trained for a full marathon here thanks to the perfectly placed water fountains and bathrooms.
Having this so close to home makes living in a city manageable.

Perfect size for 5 patrols of Boy Scouts with great fire ring and cool noises at night. Great bike ride and train ride on Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Valley railway. Perfect day and fun 14 mile bike ride so much to see and great places to explore
