Best RV Parks & Resorts near Avon Lake, OH

This campground is perfect for tents, as they get to camp right on the water. The electric/full hook up sites are pretty close together considering it’s a state park. There are very few full hook up sites. The dump station is on an incline and the inlet pipe is a foot off the ground which makes dumping challenging.

Very much the quintessential RV park. Overpriced, but you are really paying to be close to the amusement park.

Full hookups. Nice pool, close to the beach. Clean bathrooms and showers. Fully stocked store. Close to neighbors, but some well-placed shrubbery makes it feel private.
Camping here allows an hour early into the park.

This is a really nice family campground and day use area. 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. The majority of RV’s I say were seasonal with full long-term hookups. There were just a few short-term travelers. The area I was camped in was called Lower Meadow, and they had apparently received a lot of rain because they had recently added large stones to define the RV site area. It was not ideal but seemed to work ok. The spacing between sites is not great. I was right next to the maintenance area which included buildings, tractors, lawn mowers and other equipment. A lot of the better campgrounds have those things set apart. There is convenient access to Cuyahoga NP and shopping in Akron for major resupply needs

There are very few campgrounds near Cuyahoga Valley NP. Caskey's campground in Orrville is about 30 minutes away.  Most of the campsites are occupied by long-term residents - only a few sites are used by people like us staying just a few nights.  We were there for 3 nights.  People were friendly enough.  Sites have water and electric, and there's a dump station.  The bathroom facilities are a little rough but functional.  The road in is really bumpy so take it slow.

This campground is beautiful! Well maintained, level concrete, shady spots, full hook ups, right on the water and walking distance to cedar point park. Very helpful staff and extremely clean! Beautiful pool. This place is perfect!

A variety of sites from primitive to full hook up. Flush toilets and clean showers. The lake is small and limited to electric motors only, but nice for kayaks and SUP. And for those of you looking for a little more comfort check out the lodge for a little less rugged stay.

Very clean. Close to everything you need close to ferry clean showers camp monitors were friendly sites are paved. 50/30 amp hookups Our site was just a standard electric site. They do have 150 full hook up sites or more. We made our reservations late we were not really concerned about water or sewer as we planned to use the camp ground facilities anyway. Fresh water is available to fill your holding tanks. Dump stations are easily acceptable as are water filling stations Big Boopers restaurant is a great place for breakfast lunch or dinner. If you do t feel like cooking it’s about a 10 min drive. Campground has very good WiFi. We have Verizon had very good reception inland and I. The islands. Bass island is a fun day trip. Sites were level left to right. Had a slight pitch front to back.

Both tent camping and RV/Trailer camping. A few Yurts to rent also which are somewhat isolated from the other camping areas. Reservations can be made exactly 6 months in advance and only a few sites are kept open for walk ins anymore. The sites along the cliff overlooking the lake have fabulous views but are ONLY for tents and one should NOT camp there with small kids.

The RV camp sites and many of the other camp sites are inland from the cliff and while wooded are generally very close together and most do NOT have a lake view. The ONLY quiet areas in the campgrounds on the weekends are the cliff tent areas since it is a party island and the young people camping in the interior areas seem to never go to bed.  

The Park has a rocky beach (shoes NECESSARY) which is actually a nice swimming area if you aren't looking for sand under your feet or blanket.  That beach is the only free public place to swim on the island (some hotels do have pools). That beach area is a great area though to launch a kayak or sailboard to use in the cove. There is also a regular boat ramp for larger boats or jet skis.  NO overnight boat tie ups at this state park dock (some at the downtown state park, but those are hard to snag)

The town is about 1.5 miles down the road and easy to get to via bicycle or island taxi - vehicle parking very limited if you try to drive into town. and the town has numerous bars and restaurants with lots of live entertainment on the weekends. 

The town is definitely a"party" location on the weekends during the summer months. and there is a very pretty and active harbor there, usually with 100 to 200 boats including some in the 40 to 50 foot range in the harbor on the weekends. 

The slow ferry to the island (Miller) is the car ferry and it has free parking if you can leave your vehicle behind on the mainland and transport your stuff to the campgrounds via a bike trailer or some other way (about a mile+ from the ferry dock to the state park). If you do take your vehicle over note that the wait time to bring it back on a Sunday while usually 2 to 3 hours can also be up to 6 hours from when you get in line (beware the Miller ferry stops running about 8pm, ie: near sunset). Usually little or no wait time when bringing a vehicle or RV back mid week.

Pick when you want to go depending upon how much you enjoy noise and partying.  Mid week during the summer season is the best time for those who aren't into 24 hour partying and weren't able to snag a cliff side camp site.  Kelly's Island is quieter and has a nice natural sand beach, so better for weekend trips if going with a family, or if you definitely need a sand beach.  If bands, noise, drinking, and people watching are your desire, well this is the place to go on a summer weekend (ala Key West party atmosphere)

We recently spend the weekend at Punderson State Park Campground to visit family.  There is a ton of stuff to do at this park and it is spread out so you do not feel on top of each other.  We stayed at Site 11, this site is on the road with full hook-ups only.  The rest of the part is water and electric.  We enjoyed hiking, biking, kayaking and sharing stories.  There is a beautiful lodge across from the campground that has cabins to rent.  Although we didn't play, there is a 27 hole disc golf course, a regular golf course, archery range and several hiking trails.  This place will be on our list to return.  The only downside was the lake had alot of algae, but this is expected in the heat of summer.

Mostly seasonal campers. 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.

Stayed on a premium patio site and loved it. The campground and staff were awesome. Level site, great hook ups, awesome WiFi and cable. Clean facilities, 3 lakes (one with a fishing pier), 2 dog parks, and super friendly staff. 30 min to Cleveland. Walmart, gas stations and restaurants within 5 miles. Just off Ohio Turnpike, but can't hear it. Definitely recommend this KOA

The park is very nice. Great Lodge. Nice lakes and cabins to rent. The camp grounds for RV's is not the best. Very few full hookups. Rest of the sites only have 15-20 amp service. The lots are not even close the level. You will need a lot of blocks to get close to level. Saw one RV with auto levelers with his tire about foot off the ground. If they leveled the lots and added water and at least 30 amp electric it would help a lot.

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. The actual service station across the way was incredibly clean and comfortable. 3 or 4 restaurants, Starbucks, maps and guidebooks available. Best $20 nights sleep I ever got.

This was a nice spot with lots of family activities. Lots were pretty large and well maintained. But this is more of a local hangout with a ton of permanent spots. There aren’t any signs to follow to lead you to the campground. I prepaid in full with no refund because it was a holiday weekend. They don’t have the technology to email you a confirmation or receipt, so you either have to hope they have your reservation or call ahead to confirm. Never did get a copy of my receipt. They have a bunch of rules about visitors, and charge you for every single person (yes, there is a person at the gate checking passes!). Permanent residents were racing through the campground on their golf carts and blaring music. I was disappointed we didn’t get a full hook-up site, only to find out they don’t have any (and this is a large campground!). But, for a prepaid fee, you can schedule an appointment to have someone come by and dump you out. I overheard our neighbors say they would never stay there again, so I asked what their experience had been. They complained about the loud neighbors, charges for visitors (had to pay $70 for one day!), and they paid for a dump but the person never showed up. For such a large campground they only have two bathroom spots. Bathrooms by the pool were full of sand and flies, and could have been better stocked.

No sewer hook up. Level sites. Sites pretty close to each other so only 1 car per site. Nice little swimming area with floatables for kids and sandy beach. Fire rings right outside your door. Friendly staff.
