Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Cleveland, OH

We 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.

Right nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site!

Nice park with ample parking space. Rec hall, playground, dog park. Propane is on site.

Very nice, quiet city campground. Many unlevel sites. Only 3-30 amp hooks ups, the rest are 20 amp. No reservations. Fantastic dog park with a swimming beach for dogs only. Fun to watch them play even if you don't have a dog.

family 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!

The 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.

This campground has been wonderfully updated! The owners have added in an additional playground, dog park, newly paved roadways, newly redone building, a new pavilion, fire pit, and boat parking! We love camping here every chance we get! It is convenient to the turnpike and Cedar Point is just a few miles away!

I 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.

We 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.

We have stayed here twice and will definitely be back. Both times at the end of September. Nice campground, friendly staff, store is well stocked for anything you may have forgotten. The playground and jump mat for kids is awesome. They usually have some kind of activity for kids on weekends. We travel with 2 large Labrador retrievers and love being able to let them play off leash in the kamp k9 dog park. The sites are a little close together and the train is loud but other than that, it’s a wonderful place to stay. Very close to Cedar Point.

This is the second time we have camped here. The first time back in 2020 we paid for the cement pad spots and had zero issues. There aren’t any shade trees near the cement pad sites but the sites themselves are immaculate. This Labor Day weekend we stayed in a pull thru gravel spot. Minimal effort to get leveled and set up. Staff is friendly, site is beautiful with a few smaller trees. Nice play area for anyone who has kids. Dog park is also very nice sans the fact you have to walk past the bee infested dumpsters to get there! This is probably the most quiet campgrounds we have stayed at in the past 2 years! Very relaxing and a great place to stay!

We 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.

This park has huge campsites ! The pads are paved and they left a section of trees/woods behind each site to provide some privacy between neighbors. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. The park is directly across the road from the paved bike trail which leads to the beach, marina, lodge and strip area. The trail is dog friendly but the beach is not. The campground is also pet friendly.

This may be Heaven on Earth! The loveliest of settings. Friendly helpful staff- super well cared for nestled in the prettiest neighborhood. A little restrictive if you have pets. Guard gate and expansive grounds - lovely fishing pond; clean showed and bathrooms- excellent spacing between spaces. Found this place by accident, now will make it a destination on purpose in the future
