Best Tent Camping near Canal Fulton, OH

Came across the Canal Fulton campground on a tour of the Towpath Trail in North East Ohio. This campground is nestled in the small town of Canal Fulton with plenty to do!

Very few campsites can say they totally cater to families. This one does! From mini golf, nearby ice cream, canoe rentals, volleyball, and even a playground for the little kids. This is family camping “the way it used to be.” ;-)

True to most of the campgrounds along the towpath trail, this one seems built for hikers, bikers and primitive campers. But UNlike most, the Canal Fulton campground has plenty of sites to choose from: 17 total. Granted, most of those sites are right on top of each other, but all in all it’s pretty good for an in-town campground.

The only potential downside is the proximity to town traffic. It’s definitely not the “quiet and reclusive” type of site, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, this place is sure to satisfy :-)

Quick tip: reserve your canoe spot up to 24 hours in advance. Definitely the big draw for this campground. you can Count on a nice float down a lazy river :-)

Nice quiet and affordable tent sites. Ours was pretty private and spacious. Bath houses were fine, nothing exciting but they were clean. Tent sites were spacious. We had a great time!

We tent camp from our motorcycles & this is our favorite camp site! We have camped here 4 times & love the private, wooded site.

Great for fishing. Crammed and unlevel tent camping. People kept walking through our site to get to the bathroom which was annoying and rude. Few trails for hiking

The tent sites were nicely separated from the RV sites. Free showers. Set on a lake with a nice beach. Great for boaters.

The sites are RV and tent sites. They offer coupons for return campers. The suppounding area is nice and the owners are welcoming. Very clean.

Wwhile the campground is designed for mostly RV. camping, we have never had a problem finding a tent site. Has so many things to do.

Stayed on a tent site. Highway right in front of us with trucks all night and sites right on top of one another. I gave it two stars because the bathrooms were clean and campground was well maintained.

We tent camped and had a private spot in the woods which we loved. The campgrounds covers all the basics. We fished and swam in the indoor pool which was not heated at the time. Across the street they have a Canoe livery, mini golf, go carts, ropes course and lots more. So much to do!!

This is a good campground for families. We tent camped here. The sites are pretty far apart and you feel secluded but, at the same time, the bathrooms are close by. There is a lot of hiking and things to do around the area and even a playground for the kiddos. Not for your serious adventures but great for families.

I had a tent site and it wasn't bad. The site next to me was blasting music but turned it off around 8 so I won't dock points. The bathrooms were clean and it was easy to get to from the highway. There was a lot of road noise though. The tent platform was level and clean. I would stay again.

We’ve tent camped here several yrs. Haven’t Back our camper in yet but we re waiting for an opening . It’s booked up for a reason . Shower houses are nice and flow hot water when needed. Grounds are clean and well maintained. Beach is small yet clean and nice . Sites are shaded and nice size . Some larger than others. We fished w little luck around boat ramp and shoreline around there . Overall great family get away .

First time here lots of seasonal campers but also seems to be alot of good tent sites on the edges of the campground. Bathrooms are dated but also kept clean and don't stink. They have a river launch for kayaking but is currently closed to to obstruction in river they say they have some campers working on clearing it out of the way though

I have camped here 3 times as an adult and most of my childhood here. It's quiet, the campers and staff and friendly. They have large shaded sites and a few tent sites in the back still. It's not going to blow your mind here, but I will continue to enjoy T&C because of its cost, how close it is to home, and how enjoyable of a time I've had here.

I love Mohican State Park. There is so much to do- canoeing, kayaking, tubing, creeking, and great trails also.

This campground is nice but is crowded in the warmer months. Look for a site along the water, that's where the tree cover is. I stayed in a camper cabin which was very nice, with microwave and refrigerator.

There is running water in the toilets, which is nice for a state park in Ohio. The showers were decent, nothing to complain about there.

The primitive tent camping sites looked nice and peaceful- take care to get a shaded spot, though, as some were just exposed in a grassy field. There is a long bumpy walk from the parking area to the primitive sites, so bring a wagon or sled or something.
