Atwood Lake Park Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate various camping styles including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabins that welcome four-legged family members. Woods Tall Timber Resort also allows pets in all accommodation types while maintaining clean facilities. Most campgrounds in the Bolivar area require pets to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside RVs or tents. The campground loops at Atwood Lake are particularly well-suited for dog owners, with H campground loops offering full hookups and some sites situated right on the water, perfect for pets who enjoy swimming. Seasonal sites are separate from overnight camping areas. The bathhouse facilities at these campgrounds remain consistently clean despite the large number of people and pets that visit during peak season.
Dog-friendly hiking trails surround most Bolivar area campgrounds, particularly at Woods Tall Timber Resort where forest trails offer excellent pet exercise opportunities. Canton-East Sparta KOA Holiday (formerly Bear Creek Ranch) provides additional activities for families camping with dogs, including horseback riding. When staying with pets, campers should be aware that wildlife is present in the area, particularly waterfowl at waterfront sites - some Atwood Lake sites can be covered in goose droppings which requires vigilance when walking dogs. Despite being large with over 500 sites, Atwood maintains quiet hours that help prevent excessive barking disturbances. Most campgrounds feature gravel sites with some offering concrete pads, making it easier to keep pets clean during wet weather conditions.

LegendStayed 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
Scoutfamily camping trip. we had a nice time with our kids, friends and dogs. the dog park was a bonus... we camped right next to it. perfect! playground, big open area and a nice pool!
ScoutStayed here to be close to the NP and it is a great little campground for a reasonable price. Big dog park with pond on the other side of the park. Sites are uneven but my favorite part was the wooded path.
GuideRight nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site!
LegendWe were in the area exploring Cuyahoga Nat Park and found Silver Springs. It was 18$ for a site with electric hook ups (15$ if you are a Stow resident) No option for no paying less for no hook-up camping. Water close by and port a pottie style bathrooms close to the camp sites. There are flush toilets a walk away but we didn’t use them. Sites are big and grassy but not super level. Wasn’t a big issue for us but could be for a bigger camper. The campground was calm and quiet. Lots of trails close by. Dog park down the street as well as a play ground and fishing pond! We had a great few days staying here and will be back if we are even passing thru Stow again.
LegendWe really loved this little spot! It appealed to all of what we were looking for, our camp host was awesome. There was even a dog park within walking distance- a lot of trails to explore too. No showers and the Porto potties weren't the cleanest... But they were functional. Very hospitable locals- we were invited to a square dancing party that evening in the park! Very comfy and safe.
LegendDog park!! and right on the lake!! Found this by mistake on our way out, and the dogs loved it. Access to lake, a beach, well fenced. I would give Salt Fork SP extra stars for this one, especially if there were campsites co-located.
Camp ground is easily accessible being just 6 miles from I70, leaving the convenience of Cambridge and city amenities close by while allowing for great trails and solitude. Stayed in campground A, and the front end has little shade, but being here in autumn was perfect for lots of sunshine on site. Sites with trees for tree tents is minimal. Drinking fountains are dispersed fairly frequently throughout campground, but RV hookups with water were limited during my stay. Shower houses and comfort houses all have flushers and sinks.
TICK WARNING!!!! After a morning hike down wooded Trail, we spent A LONG TIME pulling ticks from dogs...even though the temps were in the 30's overnight and everyone was treated with flea & tick protection.
TravelerNice park, two fenced dog parks. Bathrooms were clean.
ScoutThe bathrooms are portojons and there are no showers, however there is THE best dog park I have ever seen in this area. So my dogs loved this campground more than me and that was worth it. It was dark enough to see a space station cross the sky at night. The camping spaces are rather close, but so many people want to camp there, because of its proximity to everything amazing.

Water recreation at Atwood Lake: Visitors at Atwood Lake Park Campground can enjoy the lake for swimming, boating and fishing. "There is a snack shop and a full restaurant at the marina with great food, an ice cream dariette just down the road," notes Susan S., who appreciates the convenient dock access from waterfront sites.
Horseback riding excursions: Canton / East Sparta KOA Holiday (formerly Bear Creek Ranch) offers on-site horseback riding. "Took the kids on the horse ride and they loved it. All staff were very friendly," reports Bradley B., highlighting a popular activity for families.
Amish Country exploration: The region sits near Ohio's Amish Country, providing opportunities for cultural experiences. "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," shares Bob R. about his stay at Evergreen Park RV Resort.
Access to towpath trails: The historic towpath trails provide excellent hiking and biking opportunities. "For those who have ever dreamed about the great hiking pilgrimages in Europe, even the Appalachian trail here in the states, the towpath trail is Ohio's answer for historically-rooted hiking," explains Brannon M. about Towpath Trail Peace Park.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain exceptional cleanliness standards. "The bathrooms are very nice! Everyone who helped me with my arrival was very nice and made it easy for me," notes Chris about Canton-East Sparta KOA.
Family-oriented activities: Organized activities keep families engaged. "We have never experienced so much fun all in one place, from the clean swimming lake, to ziplining, to rv camping, and well kept bath houses," writes Ashley S. about Woods Tall Timber Resort.
Site spacing considerations: Site spacing varies significantly between campgrounds. At some locations, "The spots aren't very big but they will do and so many open spots we had a nice space to ourselves," reports Joe I. about Amish Country Campsites, while another camper noted, "extremely cramped back if our camper was 2ft from the camper behind us and 15 ft from the campers left to right."
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds have limited operating seasons. Woods Tall Timber Resort operates from May 1 to November 1, while Clay's Resort operates a similar schedule. A few facilities like Evergreen Park RV Resort remain open year-round.
Traffic noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience road or rail noise. "The only potential downside is the traffic. Joe let me know that the train passes through more frequently than some campers prefer. Also, if you're sensitive to road noise, you want to know that the road passes fairly closely to the campsites," notes Brannon M. about Towpath Trail Peace Park.
Choose campgrounds with kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated family activities. "My kids and I have been coming to Atwood for the last 10 years. We look forward to it every summer. The people are friendly and there is always something to do!!" shares Leslie C. about her experiences at Atwood Lake Park.
Consider activity variety: Look for campgrounds with diverse recreation options. "The activities here are endless! Fishing, volleyball, basketball, kayaking, zip lining in water with swimming (15 break every 45 min), mini golf, bounce trampoline pad, cornhole, etc! So much for every age," explains Chelsea M. about Clay's Resort Jellystone Park.
Scout out quieter camping areas: For families needing peaceful settings, seek less crowded options. "We stayed in Cousins Cove. Everyone was raving about the newlyweds site so we walked over. That particular spot had a great fishing spot. Cousins Cove had plenty of shade and was close enough to the portable toilet that it wasn't inconvenient, but far enough to have to worry about smells or run off," advises Zac C. about Memory Park Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Come prepared with leveling equipment. "I stayed on site LV27. Great location, but not even close to level. Seemed to be the only site with this issue," reports Chuck E. about Clay's Resort Jellystone Park.
Water quality varies: Water conditions differ between campgrounds. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, "The indoor pool is great for enjoying a swim even in January and the bathrooms and showers are spotless and very private," while other locations may have less optimal water situations.
Winter camping options: For those interested in pet friendly camping near Bolivar during colder months, select campgrounds remain open. "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves. There were only 3 other campers there. The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool. Will definitely be on the go to list for winter camping," shares Andrea F. about her experience at Evergreen Park RV Resort.
