8 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several established RV parks around Garrettsville provide varying levels of access and amenities for motorhome travelers. Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground in Hubbard features 115 sites with full hookups, including 50-amp electric service, open from May through October. Kool Lakes Family RV Park in Parkman accommodates big rigs with gravel pads and water, electric, and sewer connections. Within 30 miles, Roundup Lake RV Resort offers similar hookups with lakefront sites, while Countryside Campground provides more limited 30-amp service on less level terrain. "The lots are not even close to level. You will need a lot of blocks to get close to level. Saw one RV with auto levelers with his tire about foot off the ground," noted one visitor at a nearby state park.
Most campgrounds in the area maintain gravel access roads with 5 mph speed limits strictly enforced. Full-service dump stations are available at the larger parks, though their conditions vary seasonally with some closing between late October and early May. While pet-friendly policies are common across the region, size restrictions may apply at certain facilities. According to one review, "Sites are close but shady and large enough for trailer and our truck." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with AT&T reported as functioning well even at more rural locations. Propane service is limited at the campgrounds themselves, requiring trips to nearby towns for refills. Winter camping options are severely restricted, with Brady's Leap Ohio Turnpike RV Lot being one of the few year-round facilities available for overnight stays.

ScoutI struggled making a reservation online, you need an account and it wouldn’t let me make one but i was able to call in and reserve a spot same day. I’m traveling to the east coast and just needed a place to pitch a tent for the night. worked perfect.
RangerSimple site with hookups. For the price, I didn't expect much. The hosts were friendly and got me in last minute despite coming in their last weekend of the year. It's about an hour from Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Sadly didnt get more pictures from the campground, aside from a frosty picnic table.
GuideThis place has so much to offer so I’m just going to list them : -Beautiful lakeside camping -clean, spacious and level spots -Boat launch -sandy beach -friendly camp host and park employees -basketball court, sand volleyball court, kids playground and nature center
GuideThis 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
GuideThis is more a campground for RVs then tents or even roof top tents. Place is clean and the sites 90% of them are in the open. Very little shade. Travis runs the place and very nice and accommodating. Fire wood is 20 dollars for a massive amount.
TravelerWe 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).
GuideWe 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.
