3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin accommodations at the Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA and Countryside Campground near Akron offer varying levels of amenities and comfort for visitors. These rentals typically include basic furnishings, electricity and climate control systems, with some providing private bathrooms or kitchenettes. Countryside Campground cabins offer proximity to Mogadore Reservoir for fishing and kayaking opportunities. "Beautiful campground with gravel sites. When we arrived the kids were trick or treating to each camp spot," noted one visitor about the Countryside property. Additional cabin options can be found at Woodside Lake Park and West Branch State Park Campground, both within a short drive from Akron.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Uniontown features family-oriented cabin accommodations with access to recreational amenities like mini-golf, swimming pools and planned activities. Many cabin sites require advance booking, especially during summer months from May through October when most facilities operate at full capacity. Pet policies vary by campground, with KOA and Jellystone allowing pets in select cabins. One camper mentioned that "the bunk beds have very thin RV style bunk bed mattresses" at the Jellystone Park cabins, suggesting visitors should consider bedding comfort when making reservations.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic refrigerator and microwave setups to more complete options with cooking surfaces in deluxe units. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, including Clay's Resort Jellystone Park and Maple Lakes Campground, for outdoor cooking and evening campfires. Countryside Campground features an on-site camp store with camping essentials, while the Streetsboro KOA offers a small store with supplies and snacks. Visitors staying multiple nights should consider bringing cooking supplies, food storage containers, and cleaning products as these items are rarely provided in cabin rentals.
"Each campsite in on a leveled cement pad and comes with a fire ring a picnic table. There is plenty of room around your site and you don't feel crowded. Most sites offer nice tree coverage for shade."
"Check in is very easy as you pass the camp store on your way in. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table. West Branch has private, spacious, shady sites."

ScoutI struggled making a reservation online, you need an account and it wouldn’t let me make one but i was able to call in and reserve a spot same day. I’m traveling to the east coast and just needed a place to pitch a tent for the night. worked perfect.
ScoutBeautiful fall camping biking hiking kayaking.... Looking forward to coming back
ScoutWe just bought our first RV and couldn’t ask for a better first time experience!!! Lori and Fred were absolutely awesome. Great clean facilities and pool. Lots of new upgrades and updates. Gorgeous creek and pond and an absolutely amazing set of neighbors! I loved it there and will absolutely be going back!
TravelerWe arrived in the evening after reserving our spot earlier. We selected a non-electric site that as near the entrance and despite a surprising number of campers on a Wednesday, it was quiet and peaceful.
Very well maintained and a visible presence of security and maintenance personnel who were friendly and helpful.
A very nice way to start our car camping trip.
TravelerWe stayed in the fall for one night to visit Cuyahoga Valley Park (about 25 minutes away, as is a Costco). Many choices for short term sites. From the many permanent RVs and water slides in the pond, looks like it could be less quiet other times of year and a fun place for kids (we weren’t traveling with any). Staff nice and helpful but showers were old and dirty, probably in part to the high iron in the water (we didn’t hook up water).
GuideWe were passing through on a weeknight in mid September. Many open sites. Sites are paved and many are sloped. Most are shaded. Our site #41 was fairly level with electricity. Close to huge bathhouse with flush toilets, showers and laundry. High above the lake with views through the trees. Appeared there were many long term campers but just as good for our short overnight stay. Online registration. $45 for electric only site.
ScoutWe didn’t engage in the many things to do. We are using it as a base camp to go to a Guardians game, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
On the weekend when it was pretty full, it was tight quarters and this you can hear lots of people. We kinda gave up having a quiet night and went inside the camper. Now it is not the weekend and very few people around. Seasonal are all together, transients grouped together.
Did get Hershey’s ice cream at their arcade.
GuideMosquito Lake gets a bad rap because of its name. We had such a great time launching our kayak from our campsite! I’ve attached a highlighted map marked with the sights on or very close to the water to launch a kayak. Additional kayak launch sites available around the park if you can’t get one of these. It’s great campground if you have kids or a dog. Plenty of great playgrounds and a dog park/dog beach. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. The wash house has laundry and showers. Everything was clean.
GuideHad a nice stay at the Camp Site A tent site, which they label as their ADA Accessible site.
Overall me and the kids had a really nice time hanging atbthe site and exploring around the lake. Lots of friendly people too.
