Mohican State Park Campground permits pets across all accommodation types, including its cabins, tent sites, RV spaces, and glamping options. Located just 20 minutes from Jeromesville in Loudonville, this established campground maintains clean facilities while welcoming dogs throughout the property. Large sites with plenty of space make camping with pets comfortable at nearby Hickory Lakes Campground, where the family-friendly atmosphere includes a swimming pond with a sandy bottom particularly popular among campers with water-loving dogs. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain leashed at all times and limit the number of animals per campsite to two, though specific policies vary by location.
Charles Mill Lake Park Campground offers waterfront sites that provide excellent opportunities for dogs that enjoy swimming, with several reviews noting frequent deer sightings that may interest pets during morning walks. Pet owners should be aware that seasonal sites tend to have less privacy than more wooded areas at campgrounds like Toodik Family Campground, which features mature shade trees that keep the grounds cooler during hot summer months. Wildlife encounters are common throughout the Mohican region campgrounds, so proper leash control remains essential, particularly in the primitive camping areas of Mohican-Memorial State Forest where the free Park and Pack tent sites attract hikers with trail dogs. Most campground stores in the area stock basic pet supplies, though bringing extra food and portable water bowls is recommended for longer stays.

"A little further back in the campground to be close to the shower house that was open. Then found out that comfort station next to us was open - nice!"
"It’s not the most secluded spots but if you are looking for something tucked away there a few sites. The ability to tube down the river and walk back to your camp site was so much fun."

ScoutStayed 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.
GuideRight nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site!
LegendWe 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.
TravelerNice park, two fenced dog parks. Bathrooms were clean.
ScoutAlot of campground unfinished, poor wifi, no dog park
LegendWe 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.
ScoutThe 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.
LegendNice park with ample parking space. Rec hall, playground, dog park. Propane is on site.
ScoutVery 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.
Jeromesville campers find terrain varying from wooded river valleys to open meadows, with elevations from 900 to 1,200 feet above sea level. Summer daytime temperatures typically range from 75-85°F, with cooler nights in the 50s. Most campgrounds in the Mohican region feature mature forests and proximity to either the Mohican River or Clear Fork Mohican River.
Mountain biking trails: Mohican Wilderness offers access to challenging terrain for cyclists. "We went in the middle of the week and as a result practically had the entire Buzzard section of the Primitive tent camping section to ourselves," notes Jacob W., who mentions the campground has "things like go-karts, aerial obstacle course, and other fun outdoor activities available."
Kayaking multi-day trips: Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins serves as both accommodation and activity provider. "We took advantage of their seven mile canoe trip which was rich with scenery and again, given the time we had chosen to go, we enjoyed much solitude on the river which took about 2.15 hours to traverse in our canoe," reports Jacob W.
Fishing opportunities: Charles Mill Lake Park Campground provides multiple spots for anglers. "There is a lake with a boat launch near by a playground and beach for families to swim," explains Katelyn P. Ken P. adds, "Charles Mills Lake is a Great place for waterfront camping and if you like boating. The grounds are well maintained and the primitive sites are pretty well secluded."
Privacy in primitive sites: The Park and Pack Campsites at Mohican-Memorial State Forest require hiking in but reward with seclusion. Ryan R. describes, "Site 10 is about 3/4 of a mile down the trail from the upper parking area. Well marked and easy to find. There are plenty of areas to set up shelter and hang hammocks."
Spacious sites: At Hickory Lakes Campground, campers appreciate the generous site dimensions. "Family owned hidden gem. Very clean and well kept. Large sites," reports Tom K., who also mentions a "fishing lake and a separate swimming pond that has a sandy bottom with clean water and a small beach."
Off-season tranquility: Findley State Park Campground offers a different experience during quieter months. Kimberly C. shares, "We have enjoyed the shade at our site this week and the space between us and our neighbors. Shower houses are clean. Canoes and kayaks are available for renting. Many musicians set up camp and would jam out for some live evening music!"
Seasonal site differences: Summer camping at Pleasant Hill Lake Park Campground provides different experiences depending on location. Michelle H. explains, "The new F sites have concrete pads and plenty of space. Only lacking in mature trees to offer shade. The shower house there is new and clean, offers a laundry facility, but lacks ventilation. Area E has plenty of room and mature trees, but are electric only and the shower house is older."
Reserve well ahead: Popular sites fill months in advance. Jeffrey L. reports about Findley State Park: "Only downfall is trying to find an open spot for reservations. Place is booked most of the time. If you're planning a holiday weekend you need to book 6 months in advance."
Cell service variability: Coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. Andrea F. notes about Mohican State Park: "No cell service with Verizon at this park." Ryan R. reports about Mohican Memorial State Forest sites: "I had limited cell phone signal while here but this had the best signal out of the 10 sites."

Winter camping options: For off-season family trips, Andrea F. notes about Mohican State Park Campground: "Another Thanksgiving spent in our camper and it was so nice and relaxing.

Hook-up limitations: Check utility specifics before booking. Joe F. reports about Lake Wapusun RV Resort: "Our site was a normal gfi outlet and couldn't run a/c and air fryer... no biggie we did wings over a fire. I'd have a filter for water also."
Site selection strategy: For RVers wanting more privacy with pets, choose carefully. Renee L. advises about Mohican Adventures Campground: "We camped here off season and had the place to ourselves. We had a pull through site which was gravel. The sites seemed a little small so it might feel crowded during peak season."
