"The location was great. Big lake with a lot of water sports. Fantastic (but technical) disc golf course. It was me, my fiancee and my dog in a rooftop tent on top of a Tacoma."
"I had the furthest lakeside tent from the office. was a beautiful site but the water treatment facility had a loud hum all night, even though they said it was quiet."
$15 - $22 / night
"Stayed 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."
"Right nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site!"
$35 - $55 / night

"Less than an hour from downtown Cleveland, and minutes from historic downtowns Wellington and Oberlin, Ohio, is a quiet, wooded retreat with all the amenities."
"Living in Northeast Ohio, you have the "benefits" of a big city, yet you are within a half hour of solitude and good trails."
"While this is a spot in a smaller park with a lot of day use, the site is a walk off of the trail, and situated slightly lower than trail level for privacy. Amazing sounds, smells, and relaxation."
"Great small park with a hiking trail that takes about an hour or hour and a half, it has a waterfall, small tiny cave, bridges and stairs. Really well maintained paths, tiny gravel for less mud."
$25 / night
"Plenty of fire wood provided and a short distance away from the gorge to walk. The second night had lots of coyotes around, which is cool but can be dangerous if not careful of course."
"Would have given this site 5 stars but the walk to the site was a bit more of a haul than expected. It was just myself, kids, and pup."
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
GuideWe were in the area for medical visits in Cleveland. This spot was convenient and a great location to do a little sightseeing. Sites were gravel and level. We enjoyed full hookups. Cable was better than most but WiFi could be a little weak. Curb trash pickup is always a little plus. Staff was friendly. Great amenities for families. Pool. Playground. Dog park. Fishing ponds. Planned activities.
Bottom line. We will stay here again when back toward Cleveland.
GuideI was going to leave a bad review, but that's not really fair. I'm sure this place is pretty great on the weekends and we weren't here for a long time, just here for a good time.
In short, 90% of the place is filled with seasonally permanent campers. There's a small section where they cater to short-timers. The place has mostly been a ghost town all week (Sunday through Wednesday), but it's full of people's rigs. I think a lot of folks come out from Cleveland and spend the weekend here.
The playground was good for the kids. The grounds are well maintained. There's a good-sized fishing pond and a separate swimming pond. They have an arcade here that looks fine, but it was locked up the entire time we were here. That's probably a good thing; I'm sure it saved us some jing.
I'm not sure what's up with the water, but it smells like metal and you're probably better off bringing your own drinking water. The showers were kind of gross, but not the worst. My drain didn't seem to work at all and the entire shower stall flooded. I had to dry off and get dressed in the main bathroom area, so I guess I was glad it was a ghost town that day.
I want to complain about not having sewer hookups and laundry, but that's not fair. Their website is accurate. It seems there are multiple "Willow lake park" results that come up and I might have thought I booked a different one when we planned out this 3-month trip. That's fine; I'll do the laundry at the next one!
The sites themselves are fine. Nice and level with a firepit.
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.
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.
