    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

    Silver Springs Campground

    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.

    Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping

    Family and pet friendly

    OverLl great campground. The sites are a little close together but we still enjoyed our time there. Staff is super friendly and there was plenty for the kids to do, pool, arcade, fishing, and playground. Decent size dog park to let your dogs run and decent trails nearby.

    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.

    Goddard Park Vacationland Campground

    Near Beautiful Lake Wilhelm

    Nice park with very friendly staff. My only complaint is the sites are way too crowded. Also a little uneven. I love that this park is close to Lake Wilhelm & Goddard State Park for fishing and bike riding. 2 pools and a dog park.

    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.


Guide to Columbiana

Camping options near Columbiana, Ohio include several state parks and privately owned campgrounds nestled in the rolling hills of eastern Ohio. The region sits at elevations between 1,000-1,300 feet and experiences distinct four seasons with humid summers and snowy winters. Winter camping requires preparation for muddy conditions when snow melts, while summer camping faces occasional thunderstorms.

What to do

Fishing access: Guilford Lake State Park offers a serene lake environment with multiple fishing opportunities. "The small boating (kayaks, canoes, etc) facilities and small boat ramp were fantastic. The lake was very very pleasant," according to Justin G.

Historical exploration: Visit Pioneer Village near Beaver Creek State Park Campground for a glimpse into pioneer life. "There is a pioneer village near the park office that offers some picnicking areas around it. It also has original buildings from the pioneer days (church, school, etc). Really historical area to check out and hike around," notes Shay D.

Winter activities: Some parks remain open year-round with seasonal attractions. "This was an awesome place for a winter trip! The tent sites were big and right on the lake. Everyone was so kind!" reports Sienna L. about Salem-Lisbon Ohio KOA.

Trail access: North Country National Scenic Trail runs through the region. "Direct access to the North Country National Scenic Trail and trails through main park," writes Tracy H. about Beaver Creek State Park.

What campers like

Spacious pine sites: Campers appreciate the tall pine sections at many campgrounds. "We camped this past weekend in site 50. It is an unbelievably spacious site under towering pine trees. The site sits back off the road and really makes you feel like you have the place to yourself," shares Matt H.

Dark skies: Rural locations provide excellent stargazing. "The sky was dark enough to see far more stars than you'd see near any larger towns or cities. To cap it off, we laid in our tent dozing off to the sounds of owls and coyotes!" notes Matt H. about Beaver Creek.

Lakefront camping: Guilford Lake State Park Campground features water-adjacent sites. "The camp sites on the water are very spacious, but the ones on the inside of the loop, not so much. But if you're camping with a group the inner loop can be a lot of fun," explains Kevin C.

Quiet atmospheres: Many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. "Electric Site 37 - pad is pretty level, plenty for our small camper and truck, on a slight hill to get to fire ring but lots of space to spread out... Trees are everywhere and wonderful during the fall season," writes Shannon G. about Tomlinson Run State Park Campground.

What you should know

Water restrictions: Beaver Creek operates on well water with specific limitations. "Make sure you fill up before you go! Also, there is a road in the park (Echo Dell Road) that RV's/Trailers can't go on so make sure you approach this campground from Leslie Road!" advises Bounding Around.

Site privacy varies: Campgrounds offer different privacy levels. "When you pull into Beaver Creek Family Campground you pretty much have two choices: either you go left into multiple Pine tree sites or right into two cabins and more RV friendly open sites," notes Aaron B.

Weather preparedness: The region experiences variable conditions. "We had a big night of rain and with the wind it dried up pretty quickly," reports Shannon G. about Tomlinson Run.

Booking considerations: Mill Creek Camping fills quickly during peak times. "All sites are reservation only and they usually fill up fast," explains Renee G.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Many campgrounds cater to children with play areas. "They have a playground, a basketball court, and their own beach for the campers. Along with several docks to fish from and launch your kayak," notes Kevin C. about Guilford Lake State Park.

Wildlife viewing: Kids enjoy animal spotting opportunities. "We got a site near the playground, which my 3 year old enjoyed. The campground wasn't busy and we had a lot of privacy," shares Matt H.

Family activities: Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground offers structured recreation. "It is beautifully set up with a small lake for swimming, playgrounds, pavillions, games, events, music etc. Level gravel sites with really great grassy areas," reports Clean Slate D.

Educational opportunities: Historical sites provide learning experiences. "We go here for the Civil War Reenactment every couple years. It's a beautiful green forest with some historical buildings so it's a perfect site for that," writes Dan N. about Beaver Creek.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When choosing RV sites, consider terrain and access. "A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks. I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers," advises Aaron B.

Utility hookups: Research available amenities before arrival. "Level and quiet. Very well kept. They keep up on the gravel and leveling which is always appreciated," notes Clean Slate D. about Chestnut Ridge Park.

Access roads: Some parks have restrictions for trailers. "To be fair any larger RV that came in better know how to get through tight quarters," warns Aaron B. about Beaver Creek State Park.

Pet friendly options: Most campgrounds near Columbiana, Ohio welcome pets with proper management. "Multiple hiking trails wind through the property and around nearby Guilford Lake, providing exercise opportunities for dogs on leash," observed at Salem-Lisbon KOA.
