Best Cabin Camping near Bowling Green, OH

Furnished cabins near Bowling Green provide overnight accommodations at several established campgrounds, including Maumee Bay State Park and Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA. Most cabins include electricity, beds, and basic furniture, with variations in kitchen facilities from simple countertops to full refrigerators. "Our site was shaded with lots of trees. The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring," notes one visitor about the KOA cabins. Cabin locations range from waterfront settings with lake views to more wooded areas offering shade and privacy, with most providing access to campground amenities like shower houses, playgrounds, and recreational facilities.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. East Harbor State Park Campground and Cannaley Treehouse Village offer unique cabin experiences, with the latter providing treehouse-style accommodations. KOA-style cabins typically feature more amenities than basic state park options. Many cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA permitting dogs while other facilities restrict pets from cabin areas. A camper wrote, "We rented a yurt as a local weekend escape. Our kids loved the yurt. It was nice with a little mini fridge and 4 double beds."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking setups vary significantly across properties, with some offering only outdoor fire rings and others providing indoor cooking facilities. Maumee Bay State Park cabins tend to be better equipped than more rustic options. Campground stores stock essential items, firewood, and ice, though selection varies by location. For more extensive grocery needs, Bowling Green and surrounding communities have supermarkets within driving distance. Some locations offer on-site dining options, particularly at properties with lodges or resorts attached to the campground, providing alternatives to self-catering during cabin stays.

    Maumee Bay State Park Campground

    Very close to Toledo but you'd never know it!

    General: Large state park with 256 campsites, all with electric (20-30-50 amp) hookups. Sites 1-11 and 21-29 have full hookups (water, sewer, electric). Also, there are a lodge and cabins. The park is very well maintained. This park is close to Toledo and within spitting distance of several refineries although you’d never know it! 

    Site Quality: All sites are very generous in size and appear to be spaced with a decent amount of space apart with foliage providing varying levels of privacy. Some have beautiful trees that in peak fall color would be stunning. All camper pads are paved and long enough to accommodate large RVs. Some have concrete pads for picnic tables, although the sites in our loop did not. A wooden picnic table and fire ring complete each site. 

    Restroom/Shower house: Very clean, however, bathhouses are shared between two loops. Each bathhouse only has two shower stalls, which may necessitate a wait when the campground is full. A hook and a small bench but nowhere to put soap/shampoo in the shower. Good warm water. 

    Activities/Amenities: So much to do! Several lakes are good for fishing or boating. Many trails, some grassy and some paved are good for walking, running, and biking. A beautiful and extensive boardwalk constructed by the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps is available only for foot traffic. Bike rentals are available. A small camp store. Laundry facilities. Donuts and muffins on the weekends. Several playgrounds. Bird houses and feeders are located throughout the park and especially in the spring, you can hear many varieties of birds chirping (however, you will also experience the by-products of so many birds!). Excellent cell service (Verizon). There is also a dump station.

    There was a warning that due to the proximity to an urban area campers, bikes, etc. should be locked up but I didn't feel that vibe.

    We enjoyed two stays at this campground, once in September and once in May. Even though this large campground was full when we were there on a weekend in September, we did not feel overcrowded. There were many empty campsites when we were there during the week in May (the week before Memorial Day); we very much enjoyed our stay both times!

    Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA

    Small basic campground near Toledo

    Our site was $59.95 a night.

    We were in Site# 504. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level. We were charged $25 additional for my jeep since we were towing the trailer. We also were charged $10 because we arrived at 1:25 PM and check-in is at 2 PM. The park was close to empty so arriving early was not an inconvenience. We drove ourselves to our spot (no escort).

    Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.

    There is free WiFi, although not strong. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

    They pickup your garbage at your site daily before noon.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

    They do have a Swimming pool but it is currently closed due to maintenance (although it just looked closed- no signs of maintenance being done).

    There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes, corn hole, giant jinga.

    They have a basic general store. There are not scheduled activities for kids.

    There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

    The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. This is an RV park with tent camping and cabins to rent.

    They have one shower house. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

    There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry a load.

    They have a small fenced in dog park.

    There isn’t tons to doin the actual city of Perryville. But Toledo is a 20 minute drive.

    Harrison Lake State Park Campground

    Quiet place to get away

    We have been here a few times. Really enjoy the secluded sites and the lake. It’s a small campground but it’s clean and quiet. Most sites don’t have water hookups but they do have electric. There isn’t much to do outside of the campground but there is a nice lake with canoe and kayak rentals. Very pet friendly and even has a dog beach.

    Harrison Lake State Park Campground

    Nice park for Northwest Ohio

    We rented a yurt as a local weekend escape. Our kids loved the yurt. It was nice with a little mini fridge and 4 double beds. Campground showers and bathrooms are clean. It is one of the only state parks in northwest Ohio, a beautiful little spot nestled in farmland of Ohio. The lake is nice for swimming and there are bike rentals which was fun as well. We did not use it, but there is a dog beach as well. Sites are crowed and close together.

    Camp Sandusky

    Very nice campgrounds!

    There is so much structure and order to this campground! The grounds are laid out so nicely! One big circle with cross roads all along the way. You can camp however you'd like too! They have RV sites, tent sites and cabins. All mixed in together so you can travel with all your favorite campers. They do breakfast every morning in the front pavilion for $4.50 (all you can eat pancakes, 1 sausage and coffee) I haven't tried it yet, but its certainly popular. Laundry is open 24 hours a day and in an open area. Not the biggest fan of that due to needing to do laundry in the rain. Bathrooms are clean and standard. Row of toilet stalls and showers in a separate room. They have a stellar playground area, I don't have kids but even I was drawn to wanting to play on it. Very pet friendly around here. Close to downtown, near Cedar Point and all the other attractions over here. They have 2 pools, one being heated. We haven't had a bad rain storm while we're here but you can tell by the ground of our spot its going to be bad and super muddy. All in all this campground is pretty awesome.

    Lake Hudson Recreation Area

    Beautiful Nature, Dark Sky Rustic Camping

    Lake Hudson is a dark sky preserve full of trees, nature and a beautiful lake. The camping sites come with an electric plug in, a nice fire ring and a picnic table. They are cute sites. Most are not by the lake. There is a dumpster. The facilities are rustic. The facilities are port a potty type with wooden walls and cement floor. No showers. A hand pump well for water. The swimming part of the lake requires a drive. The Lake is beautiful with a sand beach, no wake boating and grills. However it is rustic so there is goose poo. The woods are beautiful. There is hunting. We had heard that some people partied there but the night we were there it was quiet and people were respectful. We had a beautiful fire and dutch oven dinner. We saw one cute racoon who ran away when I reacted. We were worried about mosquitos but we only saw one.

    Van Buren State Park Campground

    Small and peaceful

    We stayed one night on our way to IN. We’ve never been here before and wanted to check it off our list. It’s a small campground with one side as equestrian and the other side not. All sites had electric and water, no full hookup. There were only drop toilets and no showers. They were clean but I don’t think I’d want to do more than a weekend there. It had a nice playground for kids and plenty of trails to hike or go horseback riding. They also had a dog park and small wildflower garden. The check in cabin had ice and wood for sale but no store. Our site was really nice. The pads were recently paved and had a huge bumper at the end. The fire ring was nice and the site had plenty of space for tents.

    Maumee Bay State Park Campground

    So Much to Do

    This park is huge. There is so much to do here, we didn’t leave the park at all! Just a short walk or bike ride to Lake Erie via a paved path. I highly recommend taking a bike, as there are so many trails and paths to ride throughout the park. The marshy swamp area was neat to see, there were several frog species, snakes, and we even saw a muskrat. The park is very educational, they have a nature center where you can learn about the local flora and fauna. There was a doe and her fawn that we saw almost daily in the park, as well as other deer. A resort is adjacent to the park that has many amenities if you prefer not to camp. There are several ponds throughout the park and lots of green space.
    While we were there we had the pleasure of viewing the nested piping plovers that haven’t nested in Ohio for 83 years. 4 chicks remained on the beach during our stay, prepping for the flight south. Several volunteer ornithologist kept a watchful eye on the chicks for safety and didn’t mind educating us on the little creatures. The campsites are nicely sized and vary in privacy. All equipped with a picnic table and fire pit. Some sites had a concrete pad under the table but there didn’t appear to be many, just a handful of what appeared to be newer sites. The park held social events, such as an ice cream social and coffee and pastries several mornings. The camp store was impressive, stocking a variety of perishables and even refrigerated items such as lunch meat, cheese, etc. Very impressive park, we will be back and extend our stay.
