RV sites near Brunswick, Ohio provide access to both rural Ohio countryside and the Cleveland metropolitan area. Located in northeastern Ohio's Cuyahoga County, Brunswick campers experience seasonal weather patterns with warm summers and cold winters that affect campground availability. Most camping options lie within a 30-minute drive radius, with several facilities operating exclusively between April and October.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Roundup Lake RV Resort offers a sizable lake stocked for fishing where campers frequently catch bluegill. "We tried some fishing. We caught a few little blue gills," reports one visitor who stayed in a 33' travel trailer.
Amish country exploration: Located near Berlin RV Park & Campground, visitors can experience unique cultural attractions. "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 a camper who visited with his wife.
Mini golf and recreation: Family activities abound at some parks within driving distance. "Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available and the staff is friendly, grounds are clean and nicely kept," writes a reviewer about Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower quality varies significantly between campgrounds. Berlin RV Park receives consistent praise for cleanliness. "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS," emphasizes one camper, while another notes, "Restroom/shower facilities are excellent. There are three showers in each of the mens and womens sides. Each shower has a locking door and a sink."
Winter camping options: While most parks close for winter, Evergreen Park RV Resort offers true year-round camping with indoor amenities. "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," shares a winter visitor.
Affordable overnight stops: For travelers passing through on I-80/90, Vermilion Valley Ohio Turnpike RV Lot provides convenient overnight parking with basic amenities. "Clean with electric hookup for $20. Dump station as you exit. Gas and convenience items are extra helpful. Safe environment to snooze overnight," reports one traveler.
What you should know
Site spacing concerns: Several campgrounds feature closely positioned sites. A visitor to Evergreen Park RV Resort noted, "Very clean and nice campground. I only negative for me was the campsites are very close to each other."
Seasonal closures: Most RV parks near Brunswick operate on limited schedules. "We arrived mid-September 2020, so Covid has had its impact and it's past Labor Day so pools/lakes are likely closed to swimming most years anyway," explains a camper at Roundup Lake RV Resort.
Leveling requirements: Scenic Hills RV Park offers level sites, with one camper noting, "Asked for a shaded area...got a perfect one that had shade all day." However, at other parks, leveling can be challenging. At Gotta Getaway RV Park, a reviewer mentioned, "the site we were assigned took three blocks to level up."
Tips for camping with families
Recreation facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer child-friendly amenities during peak season. "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," shares a parent who stayed at Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park.
Themed weekends: Sandusky Milan RV Park and similar campgrounds run special events during peak season. "This campground has been wonderfully updated! The owners have added in an additional playground, dog park, newly paved roadways," reports a frequent visitor who appreciates the family-oriented facilities.
Activity variety: Look for campgrounds with multiple recreation options. Berlin RV Park includes "Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground," according to a Labor Day weekend camper.
Tips from RVers
Hookup placement: Check hookup locations before arrival. At Scenic Hills RV Park, one RVer noted: "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."
Big rig accessibility: Several parks accommodate larger motorhomes with pull-through sites. "It would be a bonus for big rigs as the pull throughs are flat and easy to get into," mentions a reviewer at Gotta Getaway RV Park.
Seasonal population: Many parks host both overnight and seasonal campers. At Roundup Lake RV Resort, a visitor observed: "For those worried about campgrounds with seasonal or full-timers, yes, this campground does have people who appear to park their rig here year-round. That said, save one or two we have seen, the permanent fixtures haven't been too extreme or eye-sores."
