    Clay's Resort Jellystone Park accommodates pets with designated camping areas across 680 sites, offering tent spaces, RV hookups, and pet-friendly cabins. Maple Lakes Campground maintains similar pet policies with spacious grassy sites that provide good spacing between neighbors, according to visitors. Both properties offer full hookup options including electric, water, and sewer connections. The Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground allows pets at their riverside location but restricts them to designated areas. Most campgrounds require pets to remain on leash at all times, and some limit dogs to specific camping loops or sections. Caskey's Campground provides water and electric hookups with pet-friendly policies, though sites are fairly close together. Silver Springs Campground offers more primitive camping options while still accommodating pets. The lake campground receives positive reviews from pet owners but enforces strict rules about walking dogs only within your campsite area. The Dyrt provides user ratings for locations near Doylestown, Ohio.

    Pet owners should be prepared for varying amenities across these campgrounds. Canal Fulton's location along the Tuscarawas River provides water access, while Clay's Park features a swimming lake that gets extremely crowded during peak season. Most campgrounds have basic bathroom facilities, though cleanliness varies significantly. Maple Lakes features fishing ponds with benches where visitors can relax with pets on leash. Willow Lake Park and Findley State Park Campground both welcome pets with designated areas for walking. Visitors with pets should bring their own waste bags, as pet waste stations are limited at most locations. Caskey's Campground serves as one of the few camping options within driving distance of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, approximately 30 minutes away. Several campgrounds close seasonally, typically operating from May through September or October, so advance planning is essential for fall camping with pets.

      Mohican Wilderness

      best one we've been to

      We camped here for the first time this year and ended up booking 2 more trips here. We just finished our last trip. We love this campsite. No other place has sites this big and give you this much space. Awesome place to camp

      Berlin RV Park & Campground

      This is the cleanest park we've ever used! The bathroom is tidy; the showers are roomy and convenient to use. There is a nice playground for younger kids as well as a pickleball court and basketball court for teens and adults. There also is a pleasant hiking trail. We stayed in Site 42, a concrete site, which was fantastic for my spouse's mobility issues. The sites are not super spaced apart, but, with the graduated elevation, we didn't feel smashed together. We visited Amish Country to absorb the beautiful fall scenery, to shop at local stores, and to relax by a campfire in the evening . The campground was perfect for us. If you're seeking a wilderness adventure , this park is not for you .

      Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins

      Could not ask for a better site. Absolutely beautiful setting. A nice small lake for fishing, and a perfect shallow stream for kids to play in, running right by the sites. The pool house and facilities are spotlessly clean. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We even needed a jumpstart for our truck when we were towing the camper out on a rainy Monday morning and someone came around to help. 100% will come back and 100% would recommend to anyone.

      Berlin RV Park & Campground

      Nice home base in Amish country

      Well maintained campground with friendly staff. Super spacious and clean bathhouse. Close to Berlin and Millersburg for exploring Amish country. Some road noise due to location on main highway.

      Findley State Park Campground

      Quiet and Restful

      We arrived in the evening after reserving our spot earlier. We selected a non-electric site that as near the entrance and despite a surprising number of campers on a Wednesday, it was quiet and peaceful.

      Very well maintained and a visible presence of security and maintenance personnel who were friendly and helpful.

      A very nice way to start our car camping trip.

      Cherokee Park Camground

      Pretty area

      This park is off the beaten path and filled mostly with Full Timers in beautiful landscaped sites. But room for overnighters like us. All sites have electric and water. The laundry is small, only 1 working washer, but it came in handy. The bathrooms have free showers but could use a deep cleaning. Big open field for the dog to play

      Woodside Lake Park

      Convenient and lots of choices

      We stayed in the fall for one night to visit Cuyahoga Valley Park (about 25 minutes away, as is a Costco). Many choices for short term sites. From the many permanent RVs and water slides in the pond, looks like it could be less quiet other times of year and a fun place for kids (we weren’t traveling with any). Staff nice and helpful but showers were old and dirty, probably in part to the high iron in the water (we didn’t hook up water).

      West Branch State Park Campground

      Great overnight close to Ohio Turnpike

      We were passing through on a weeknight in mid September. Many open sites. Sites are paved and many are sloped. Most are shaded. Our site #41 was fairly level with electricity. Close to huge bathhouse with flush toilets, showers and laundry. High above the lake with views through the trees. Appeared there were many long term campers but just as good for our short overnight stay. Online registration. $45 for electric only site.

    Guide to Doylestown

    Campgrounds around Doylestown, Ohio provide access to northeast Ohio's varied terrain, with most located between 900-1,200 feet in elevation. The area receives approximately 39 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush woodland settings throughout the camping season. Most campgrounds operate from April through October, with limited winter camping options.

    What to do

    Hiking and biking trails: Silver Springs Campground offers excellent access to wooded walking trails. "There is a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground," notes Gary G. The location serves as "a great base for Cuyahoga Valley NP visit" for campers seeking to explore the national park.

    Fishing opportunities: Willow Lake Park separates their fishing and swimming areas for safety. "There's a good-sized fishing pond and a separate swimming pond," explains Derek N. The fishing lake at Maple Lakes Campground is designed for relaxation with "lovely benches," according to Tracy L.

    Water activities: Findley State Park Campground offers diverse water recreation beyond swimming. "Canoes and kayaks are available for renting," mentions Kimberly C. The park's lake and beach area provide water access without the extreme crowds found at some other facilities.

    Organized entertainment: Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground offers camping near town activities. "In town camping...from mini golf, nearby ice cream, canoe rentals, volleyball, and even a playground for the little kids," reports Brannon M., making it a convenient base for families seeking structured activities.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate the well-maintained bathrooms at Findley State Park. "Shower houses are clean," notes Kimberly C., who enjoyed hiking the trails. The park maintains its facilities despite high visitor numbers during peak season.

    Spacious sites: Maple Lakes Campground receives consistent praise for site spacing. "Plenty of grass and good spacing between the sites," comments Tracy L., who appreciated the "beautiful trees and the fishing lakes had lovely benches." This spacing provides privacy often lacking at more crowded facilities.

    Natural setting: Silver Springs Campground offers more woodland immersion than many alternatives. "It was dark enough to see a space station cross the sky at night," shares Kate W., highlighting the reduced light pollution compared to campgrounds closer to urban areas. The setting provides a genuine outdoor experience while maintaining access to necessities.

    Pet-friendly amenities: Silver Springs Campground stands out for dog owners with exceptional facilities. "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," explains Kate W. This represents a significant improvement over the limited pet walking areas found elsewhere.

    What you should know

    Water quality concerns: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Doylestown have water quality issues. At Willow Lake Park, "The water smells like metal and you're probably better off bringing your own drinking water," advises Derek N. This issue affects multiple campgrounds in the region.

    Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds have limited operational seasons. Maple Lakes operates "Apr 15 - Oct 1," while Findley State Park remains open year-round but with reduced winter services. Advance planning is essential for late-season camping.

    Reservation systems vary: Willow Lake Park has technological limitations affecting reservations. "They don't have the technology to email you a confirmation or receipt, so you either have to hope they have your reservation or call ahead to confirm," warns Brandy S., suggesting phone confirmation before arrival.

    Additional fees: Some campgrounds charge for services beyond site rental. "For a prepaid fee, you can schedule an appointment to have someone come by and dump you out," explains Brandy S. about Willow Lake Park, noting the lack of full hookups despite being a large facility.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA offers a pool with scenic views. "The pool was so nice it wasn't too crowded and the view over looking the 'lake' was so pretty," shares Traci F. This provides a controlled swimming environment compared to the natural lakes at other campgrounds.

    Multiple activities: Findley State Park provides diverse recreation options. "The roads are paved and excellent for biking and skating," notes Kimberly C., adding that "about half the sites are for tent or dry camping. Half have electric and a few of those have full hookups."

    Wildlife awareness: Keep food secure from local wildlife at some campgrounds. "Every night we were visited by raccoons, they stole our trash on the first night but the other nights we kept everything out of their reach," warns Traci F. about Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA.

    Budget for extras: Plan for additional costs beyond site fees. "They have a bunch of rules about visitors, and charge you for every single person," explains Brandy S. about Willow Lake Park, noting the strict gate monitoring requiring passes for all visitors.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Caskey's Campground requires careful navigation on arrival. "The road in is really bumpy so take it slow," advises Seth P. Many regional campgrounds have similar access challenges requiring caution with larger rigs.

    Electric service variations: Findley State Park offers diverse electric options. "About half the sites are for tent or dry camping. Half have electric and a few of those have full hookups," explains Kimberly C., suggesting research before booking to secure appropriate connections.

    Dump station limitations: Facilities for waste disposal vary significantly. "We went to the dump station and found it was clogged and overflowing," reports Tina R. about Willow Lake Park, highlighting the importance of confirming service availability.

    Advanced reservation timing: Popular weekends require significant advance planning. "If you're planning a holiday weekend you need to book 6 months in advance," advises Jeffrey L. about Findley State Park, noting how quickly sites fill during peak season.
