Best Campgrounds near Conneaut, OH

366 Reviews

Conneaut, Ohio borders Lake Erie with a blend of public and private camping areas within easy reach. Facilities such as Evergreen Lake Park and Village Green Campground provide developed sites for tent and RV camping, while Virginia's Beach Campground across the Pennsylvania state line offers lakefront camping with cabin options. Most campgrounds in the area maintain proximity to Lake Erie shorelines, making them popular for fishing trips and water activities. The region includes both seasonal and year-round options, with the majority of sites featuring electric hookups and basic amenities.

The camping season in northeastern Ohio typically runs from April through October, with most facilities closing during winter months. Seasonal considerations impact water availability as many campgrounds winterize their systems. "We stayed for one night. Beautiful setting with great views of the lake. What a gem. Our only complaint is we had extremely low water pressure so we filled our tank and used our pump. Problem solved!" Road access varies across campgrounds, with some visitors noting concerns about entrance conditions. Sites near the lake often have rocky beaches rather than sandy shorelines. Most developed campgrounds provide electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities, though amenities vary significantly between locations.

Several campgrounds along Lake Erie feature lakefront views that receive consistently positive feedback from visitors. Virginia's Beach Campground attracts campers specifically for its waterfront positioning, though reviews indicate mixed experiences with site levelness and management. Many campgrounds in the area serve as seasonal residences for long-term campers, creating a community atmosphere at certain locations. According to reviews, Evergreen Lake Park offers fishing ponds and swimming areas on-site while maintaining proximity to Lake Erie beaches. Village Green Campground predominantly caters to RV campers with fewer tent sites available. Uncle John's Elk Creek Campground across the state line in Pennsylvania receives particular attention from fishing enthusiasts due to its direct creek access for trout and steelhead fishing, with multiple visitors noting its value for fishing trips despite mixed reviews about facility maintenance.

    Geneva State Park Campground

    Beautiful and close to a beach

    Perry Township Park

    Beautiful

    There are many sites taken by permanent campers for the summer. There are pickleball courts in park. Right on Lake Erie, nice hot showers.

    Village Green Campground

    Long-term RV

    This site is great if you’re moving in with your RV. I’m tent camping, and while there were tent sites (about 5), it wasn’t the atmosphere I generally go for.

    Positives- there are bathrooms, showers, and laundry. Right on Lake Erie. Fine for overnight.

    Cons- this is a live-in RV site in the outskirts of Ohio.

    Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

    2025 return home

    Update.. these kids on bikes all night driving right in front of karts at 11p.m. is out of control. Dust control is better in the back and the Pavillion is gone. It had the brightest light that over lit too many camp sites.

    Follys End Campground

    Great No Frills Camp!

    This place has an old time feel that me of good times past. The sites are generally spacious, and are gravel based. The driveway to the camp seemed to be recently paved. The owner is very friendly and is on site. Camp office was geared towards fishing but was very interesting. Bathrooms were clean and the grounds looked good. Was very quiet at night and generally even on the weekend. I have not seen prices this low before. Definitely will be back to try the trout fishing!

    Pet friendly, propane available, WiFi available near office, AT&T service good, Large stream runs along the property, and it was a nice hike up it!

    Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday

    Great family trip

    We had a great time. The staff was wonderful. The kids loved both the pool and the lake. The breakfast pizza was great. The food prices were very reasonable. The wrist band for kid activities is well worth it.
