5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Akron, Ohio, offering a range of amenities for motorhome travelers. Countryside Campground in Mogadore operates from May through October with 30-amp electric service and full hookups on sites that accommodate various RV sizes. Just 30 miles east, Woodside Lake Park in Streetsboro features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service and operates mid-April through October. Roundup Lake RV Resort near Mantua provides spacious pull-through sites with full hookups, though some travelers note the terrain can present leveling challenges. "Sites are fairly close to each other, but most people seem respectful of space and limits," noted one RV camper about West Branch State Park, which offers electric sites with paved pads suitable for larger rigs.
Most RV campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season. Dump stations are available at all parks mentioned, though quality varies; one traveler reported that West Branch offers three immaculate bathhouses with laundry facilities. Cell service is generally strong throughout the Akron area, with Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA reporting excellent WiFi suitable for video meetings. Pet-friendly policies are standard across all RV parks, though restrictions may apply in certain areas. For RV campers visiting Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the Streetsboro and Mogadore campgrounds provide convenient access points within 15-30 minutes of park entrances. Winter camping options are limited, with Evergreen Park RV Resort in Dundee being one of the few year-round facilities offering full hookups for cold-weather RV camping.
"The campground is right in the middle of Amish Country so there’s plenty of beautiful scenery, lots of shopping, wonderful roadside produce and cheese stands and other tourist hotspots so you won’t be"
"No mud puddles, not even at water hook up. Dog run is fabulous. Beautiful walking trail. Club house and pool are immaculate, including public restrooms and showers."
from $55 / night
"At this time we were camping in our 16 ft pop-up camper so the restroom and shower house were very important."
"Well maintained campground with friendly staff. Super spacious and clean bathhouse. Close to Berlin and Millersburg for exploring Amish country. Some road noise due to location on main highway."
"Centrally located in Berlin, OH. Office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions and dining. In the part where I am it is gravel site but level side to side."
"Full hookups. Free firewood. Clean and well kept"
"Despite the fact that it’s not our normal kind of camping, in the woods, it was very comfortable. It does not feel crowded, sites were grassy and all utilities worked well."
"Unfortunately they didn’t have a 50 amp site available so the owner gave me 30 amp converter at no cost and also helped me hook up my gray water and black water connections."
from $45 - $55 / night
"Although my recent visit to do a recon for a seasonal site was in the off season, it was a really good first impression. "
"Each site comes with a fire ring and picnic table both in good condition. The pull thru sites were a tad small but nice and long. Even with the sites close together it was quiet and peaceful."
"We arrived mid-September 2020, so Covid has had it's impact and it's past Labor Day so pools / lakes are likely closed to swimming most years anyway, but given the size and amenities this campground boasts"
"We camped in a 33’ TT in a pull through site. Sites are close but shady and large enough for trailer and our truck. Camp store was nice, folks were very nice at check in."
from $15 - $45 / night
"Whispering Hills Jellystone is a great location for family fun. I can not say enough about how accommodating and helpful the staff was during our visits."
"My boys were able to walk across the road to get to the pond that was well stocked with fish. It was catch and release but they were very excited to pull in some big ones."
"Nice and quiet. Friendly staff. Beautiful campground."
from $50 - $60 / night
"The campground has season spots to daily and weekly spots along with yearly. Of course your stay length can determine your views."
"Great park in a great location with great people."
"There are lots of activities centered around the lake and beach area. It has a store and other recreational areas. There is a lot of day use activity around the lake."
"Quiet tent campsite parked in this area. There are quite a few RVs parked here and it appears lively, but the tent area in hilltop was quiet and secluded. Very kid friendly."
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
RangerSimple site with hookups. For the price, I didn't expect much. The hosts were friendly and got me in last minute despite coming in their last weekend of the year. It's about an hour from Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Sadly didnt get more pictures from the campground, aside from a frosty picnic table.
GuideThis is the cleanest park we've ever used! The bathroom is tidy; the showers are roomy and convenient to use. There is a nice playground for younger kids as well as a pickleball court and basketball court for teens and adults. There also is a pleasant hiking trail. We stayed in Site 42, a concrete site, which was fantastic for my spouse's mobility issues. The sites are not super spaced apart, but, with the graduated elevation, we didn't feel smashed together. We visited Amish Country to absorb the beautiful fall scenery, to shop at local stores, and to relax by a campfire in the evening . The campground was perfect for us. If you're seeking a wilderness adventure , this park is not for you .
GuideWell maintained campground with friendly staff. Super spacious and clean bathhouse. Close to Berlin and Millersburg for exploring Amish country. Some road noise due to location on main highway.
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.
GuideThis park is off the beaten path and filled mostly with Full Timers in beautiful landscaped sites. But room for overnighters like us. All sites have electric and water. The laundry is small, only 1 working washer, but it came in handy. The bathrooms have free showers but could use a deep cleaning. Big open field for the dog to play
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).
Camping options near Akron, Ohio range from full-service RV resorts to primitive lakeside campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. Located in northeast Ohio's glaciated plateau region with elevations between 800-1,200 feet, the area experiences humid summers with temperatures averaging 70-85°F from June through September. Most campgrounds open mid-April through October, with only select facilities maintaining winter operations.
Explore Amish country attractions: Berlin RV Park & Campground provides convenient access to Ohio's Amish attractions. "We spent the July 4 weekend here this year and loved our experience. The campground is right in the middle of Ohio's Amish country with easy access to shopping and food and other great experiences like the large cuckoo clock in Sugar Creek," notes one camper at Berlin RV Park & Campground.
Fishing opportunities: At Kool Lakes Family RV Park, fishing enthusiasts can enjoy well-stocked waters. "Our kids age 4 and 8 fished from sun up Saturday to about noon and then sporadically after that throughout the day. That night we hunted large bull frogs. All catch and release," shares a visitor who appreciated the waterfront access.
Hiking nearby trails: Countryside Campground connects to local paths and waterways. "The Buckeye Trail connects to the footpath down to the reservoir. All and all it was a fun spot to enjoy some car camping with the family," reports a tent camper who visited with four children.
Clean, private shower facilities: Campers consistently praise the modern bathroom amenities at Scenic Hills RV Park. "Asked for a shaded area...got a perfect one that had shade all day. Friendly and helpful staff. Free firewood. Very clean and well kept park," mentions one visitor who appreciated the immaculate grounds.
Year-round access: While most Akron-area campgrounds close seasonally, Evergreen Park RV Resort offers winter camping options. "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves. There were only 3 other campers there. It was a great place to stay. The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool," reports a winter visitor.
Lakeside recreation: Many campgrounds feature swimming lakes with additional entertainment. "The swimming pond has inflatables and boat rentals. There's good fishing, and typically lots of activities," notes a repeat visitor to Woodside Lake Park who appreciates the water-based amenities.
Site spacing varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature closely positioned sites. "Very clean and nice campground. The one negative for me was the campsites are very close to each other," observed one Evergreen Park RV visitor who still rated their experience positively.
Water quality issues: Some campgrounds struggle with well water quality. "I was in a different section and by the second day it was unacceptable disgusting turbid rusty water with sulfur odor," reports one lengthy reviewer at Woodside Lake Park who ultimately chose to leave early.
Drainage challenges: During heavy rain, site conditions can deteriorate at some facilities. "Water drainage when it's raining is deplorable and you very well might be in a mud pit at your doorway," warns a visitor to Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground who encountered difficulties during wet weather.
Playground access: Kool Lakes Family RV Park offers multiple family-friendly amenities. "This very family orientated campground has a gravel road system connecting a ton of camp spots, RV locations, mobile homes, a playground, a swimming lake, and even a fishing lake," notes a visitor who appreciated the extensive facilities.
Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds offer special weekend events. "The themed weekends throughout the season are fun and festive and there are a lot of activities to do and participate!" shares a cabin guest at Roundup Lake RV Resort who enjoyed the structured programming.
Kid-friendly fishing: Countryside Campground provides access to fishing opportunities suitable for children. "Went to this nice little spot with 4 kids, the hound and my wife. The 9 tent sites are very large and spacious," reports a father who appreciated the convenience of nearby fishing access.
Hookup positioning challenges: At RV sites, utility connections may require extra equipment. "The one and only issue is that water and electricity is located in the rear area of RV, while sewer connections are toward the front. I personally used 50' of water line and 30' of sewer line," advises an RV owner at Scenic Hills RV Park.
Site leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. "Sites are level side to side, lots are pretty tight in that area. Advice - get there early or you'll have many vehicles and campers to watch for as you back in!" suggests an RV owner at Countryside Campground.
Off-season advantages: Consider shoulder season visits for quieter experiences. "The only downside for us is that we're full-time and this is close to 'home.' We don't really use the amenities, so we can't validate having to pay for anyone to visit us only at our RV," explains a full-time RVer about Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground.
