"Beware, the sites are close to these roads and quite shallow, but because each road dead ends in a cul de sac, traffic is very light, even when the campground is full, as when we visited."
"Lots of walking trails, lots of nature. Once off my favorite local ohio parks."
$35 - $69 / night
"We had nice woods behind us, neighbors to the right and vacancy on the left (jackpot)."
"Drive in sites are set back & not near the lake. They have back in & drive through sites. There is a small store. It is close to Cleveland & has Good Sam discount."
"You’re close to your neighbor but doesn’t feel like it. Quiet but also great for families. Looks like a lot of seasonal visitors."
"Dump station as you exit. Gas and convenience items are extra helpful. Safe environment to snooze overnight."
"Pulled in to the RV parking area around 9:45 pm, there was one other vehicle there. 3 more came and parked before midnight. Felt completely safe and not crowded by the campers on either side."
"You can walk into the service plaza which has vending, showers, laundry. The sites are very wide, with 30/50 amp service. It's behind where all the cars and trucks go. 20/night paid with a kiosk. "
"The cons…lots of highway noise and trucks coming through but I like it if I am in a public place. The place was $20 for overnight. It was a full house. I felt safe!"

"If you need a pump out it 20$ for emergency situations."
"Great park in a great location with great people."
"A great campground in Ohio. So clean and so many things to do. Campsites are close together but they do honor quiet hours. Great trail around the lake and a fun and challenging disc golf course."
"this is probably my favorite park in Ohio . it’s always clean people are so friendly and the lake is just beautiful !"
"Nice site on an island in Northern Ohio."
"The campsites are located close to one another, and there is little tree cover between the sites which could potentially make for a less enjoyable experience at busier times of the year."
"Nice site in Northern Ohio!"
"This isn't a place to get away from it all. It's behind a car dealership and next to a fairly busy railroad. But they do offer amenities to make your stay easier.

ScoutNicely wooded for shade at each site. Full hookup sites available. Asphalt pads. Good water pressure. Can be muddy after rains and trash dumpster may be far depending on where you are camped. Fun island here to explore. Central town has been coined “Key West of the North”. Bathrooms and showers not all that clean. All in all a good campground.
ScoutNo information on the website, called and was brusquely told that they have nothing more than a couple nights.
ScoutWe had fun in the swimming pond, it was quiet and easy to sleep, clean restrooms and showers a short walk from our site. Water spigot and electric at every site. Campground was made for RVs and a section is a seasonal RV village but the tent/camper sites are well kept and are close to playground, swimming pond, basketball court and horseshoe pits.
GuideWe stayed overnight and arrived after a big storm passed through. Our grassy site had some muddy spots, but the site was big enough that we were able to avoid the mud. Staff was so friendly, and we met some of our neighbors as we sheltered in the bathrooms during a tornado warning. The campground has porta potties, but there are flush toilets and hot/cold running water a short walk away near some ballfields in the same park. No showers. We were just passing through , but this would be a great home base for biking and/or exploring the Cuyahoga Valley NP.
ScoutCheck in crew were real nice. Most sites have some trees. Large playground for kids if you have them. Pedestals worked fine. Plenty of garbage dumpsters. Have waste water stations and a potable water station. Plenty of park area and sites were spaced average apart. 2 dump stations are well graded so everything drains well. Shore line near by and beach a couple minutes walk. Bathrooms are just ok. Would definitely stop back.
ScoutThis was a great all mens camping experience. A nice pool, clean amenities, and a bunch of welcoming campers made our weekend a lot of fun.
GuideStayed just one night on our way up to the UP. Was relatively quite as it was midweek in May. Could get busy and sites are close together but no one was around. Some nice walking and birding trails from the site.
ScoutNice clean campground with lots of activities and also amenities the bathrooms and shower house were clean as well felt so comfortable made lots of friends
