      Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

      Outstanding site in great campground

      Stayed 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

      Great for the price and location

      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. Sites are uneven but my favorite part was the wooded path.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Nice campground near Cuyahoga

      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.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Lots of options!

      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.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Great parking

      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.

    Bicycling on towpath: Access the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail directly from Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground for day rides. "There's a nice covered picnic area with grills available with your own gas. We stayed mid September and there was live music walking distance every night," reports Jeremy R.

    What campers like

    Level sites: At Countryside Campground, campers appreciate the well-maintained grounds and level sites. "The pull thru sites were a tad small but nice and long. Even with the sites close together it was quiet and peaceful," says Kathryn P.

    Seasonal activities: Halloween events are popular at several campgrounds. "When we arrived the kids were trick or treating to each camp spot," writes Erin about Countryside Campground, while Joe F. adds "Kids trick or treated and all campers were very friendly."

    What you should know
