First time at this park I can see why it's always booked up. It seems like the sites are good sized but some are on slopes even the pads so make sure to bring stuff to level. Bathrooms were clean separate showers verizon works well here.
I didn’t see much of this park because I only stayed overnight, but I got a good nights rest and felt safe. A few of the spots are not level and it appeared that not all of them had tables or fire pits. It didn’t appear that anyone did drive throughs to monitor noise or who was there, but I didn’t mind. There were quite a bit of teens camping out and while they were pretty loud late into the night, it made me happy to see them camping and floating the river. The pit toilet shelters were large and clean too.
Older state park, but very well maintained. Restrooms and showers clean and sanitary. Pool was not open yet when we were there. Close to hiking, MTB trails, canoeing. Sites are generally level with ample spacing. Park staff were friendly and helpful. We camped at Mohican State Park in a Motorhome on a site along the river.
I have tent camped, rented a cabin, and taken my RV there. It is nice by the creek and lots of trails nearby to hike. The pool is nice in the summer and the people working at check in and at the camp store are so nice.
Cute place! Stayed right by the water
I stay here typically at least two weekends every summer and I always have a great time! Make sure to bring some money for ice cream because it’s awesome!
We had a great three nights stay here in June, weather was lovely. Dale, one of the volunteer hosts, even helped me with a problem I had in my hot water heater while I was there. Great access to trails and tubing along the river, and a friendly group of campers. Shower houses were meticulously maintained and grounds are nice and clean. Wi-Fi was kind of sketchy for video calling at least at my site number 44.
We stayed on a full hook up site (turned off for the season) that had a nice concrete level pad. There was also a nice side pad that kept our chairs clean. 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! Also close the water which was full and rushing all weekend.
The camp store was open on the weekend and the staff was nice to chat with. They had wood, but it was slab cut which doesn’t burn very well. We decided against it. Lots of snacks and other items still available.
Some sites were really close to the water, almost too close as the water flooded a few spots. The campground is nice to walk if you like to get in a little workout. They also have small camper cabins and them much bigger cabins which a few are pet friendly.
We went on a hike by the covered bridge to one of the waterfalls. Lots of trials to choose from.
Friendly and helpful staff. Campground was clean and nicely kept. Wifi was excellent. Bathrooms were clean. Beautiful foliage and hiking trails.
We thought we’d give this campground a try during the off season as it usually fills up during regular camping season.
Campground - it’s a big campground but only part of it is open in the winter. The drive in was plowed and they continue to get plow it through the weekend. Unfortunately there was more ice than snow in the road. The creek was flowing pretty good and was really pretty to watch and we saw a bald eagle flying back and forth.
Campsite-the pad was covered with snow and ice so we had to level a little more as the elements were a little tough to work with. The fire ring was up on a small hill which was a struggle to get up and down due to the ice but would be nice in the summer. You’d be able to see around and across the street to see the creek. Campsites are a little close together but some along the creek look a little more comfortable.
Camp store-big and a ton of items to choose from. They had fresh eggs, local meat, ice cream and more. The staff was friendly and helpful too!
Shower house-only one shower house was open and it was down by the maintenance building. Thankfully the camp store had a small bathroom available and was much closer. The shower house itself was clean, warm and had lots of room for multiple campers.
Really pretty with the snow and would like to go back when it’s warmer.
We had a great time at Pleasant Hill. We stayed there because we were planning a visit to the Prairie Peddler. It was almost completely empty so it was a nice weekend but the sites if everything was full is very cramped. Additionally not a ton to do besides a small park but you can see in the summer time how there would be so much to do!
The facilities were clean. The campground was quiet as much as can be expected. There are no restrictions on dogs and there was a bit of barking but nothing excessive. Our campsite had a flat area for the tent however it was set below parking level. While nice for privacy, the rain on our last day quickly ran down the slope and saturated our area. Site #197
The cabins at Mohican State Park are highly sought after for a reason--beautiful interiors, comfortable beds, and riverfront location. When there's been enough rain, then tubing down the river is excellent. The campground pool is unheated, but it does have a lifeguard on duty. Good campstore and a clean, well-maintained campground. The newer playground (complete with zipline) is very popular with the kids. Go hiking in the nearby Mohican-Memorial State Forest; visit the fire tower and the dam while you're there. if you go into Loudonville, then stop by Stela's for ice cream in a homemade, chocolate dipped waffle cone and visit the eclectic Cleo Redd Fisher Museum.
Many lakefront sites. Quiet, woodsy and very well-maintained state park campground. Great showerhouses and very nice playground. We love the small campers beach near site 160. Not much hiking at West Branch, but both Cuyahoga Valley NP and Summit Metroparks are a short drive. Treat yourself to a meal at the A&W Root Beer Stand in nearby Ravenna. Minor league Rubberducks play at Canal Park in Akron (approx 30 min. drive). There are also many free or low-cost concerts at Akron's Lock 3.
This campground is by far my favorite new place this year. Tons of activities to do, especially my toddler! The playground is extremely age friendly for every kid there. The beach is a well taken care of place for anyone to have access to cool down on the hot days!
#10 has a nice view of the water. Showers are hot, bathrooms are clean, and there are coin operated laundry machines. There is a park and a small beach near site 164 that was pretty busy. There is a boat launch area and plenty of day use areas to picnic near the water. Beautiful views! Would definitely recommend for solo campers and families alike. About 30 min from Cuyahoga Valley NP.
The spots were decent size and lots of trees. It was right on a lake but you can't really see the lake from the campsites. They do have lake access. The bathhouse was very nice with own separate shower stalls.
This beautiful, big site came open last night. First time camping here. It's only 30 mins from home. Very clean, private sites, great views at no extra charge. I love the large wash sinks. Will definitely come back.
We camped here with our Littles for a chill birthday outing. We had a very nice secluded spot but I can't remember the site number. The kids loved that we were able to walk to the beach and the bathrooms were close but not too close.
This is our 4th trip to this park and it’s one of our favorites. Lots of hiking with large pine trees , cliffs and the river.
New this trip is the addition of WiFi and a new suspension bridge.
We also visited the fire tower this trip and drove over to a local market and the Ugly Bunny Winery.
Our campsite was off 2 inches side to side but level front to back. The sites are all 50 amp and they do have several full hook up sites but this time of your they have the water shut off at the sites. They do have potable water available at the dump station and the water is of for the black tank flush at the dump.
The camp store is still open but with limited supplies and the rangers do still patrol that park in the off season.
I love how most of the campground has water sites. The bath houses are clean. The camp hosts are amazing!
This campground is all non electric. We did run our generator during that day but kept it off at night so we didn’t disturb other campers. Only 15 sites and most are very sloped but we had site 3 and it was okay.
Lots of hiking trails and a few sites boasting the filming locations for scenes from the movie Shawshank Redemption.
We also did a house tour and learned about who Louis Bromfield was and why he was so important to the area.
Gorgeous views right outside our window this morning. Plenty of space between sites. Be prepared for a long drive once your gps tell you you’ve already arrived. It is off the beaten path.
Site 28 was not very big, but with our small camper, it worked out great. There was a tree (masting at the time and dropping nuts, be prepared) to provide a little shade. The pad was short and if you had a slide out it may not get to open because of the tree. We were just a short ways from the playground and a shower house and not far from the camp store. The shower houses are great and kept clean. There are family showers and separate bathrooms. They even have laundry facilities and very nice outdoor sinks to use. It's a large campground and can be very busy, but everyone was polite and aware of the kids riding bikes around. They were getting ready for the Halloween - decorations were every where! Lots of places to walk around the campground and also has a beach where you can swim.
Booked in advance (easy on-line) $31.50 all in for non-power site. Site 160 perfect as able to drive behind pad down to glade right by lake where the fire ring is BTW. Around Halloween some longer stayers (two week stretch apparently) who obviously bought out all the local stock of Halloween inflatable things!!! Bathrooms close and clean, also washing machines.
Stayed at campsite 121 in the beginning of October. The weather was great, the water was clear, and the Halloween decorations were fantastic! Great experience.
3 Immaculate bath houses all with laundry facilities, all sites have electric (no f-ing generators) and many have have water and sewer hook ups. There is no WiFi and barely one bar of cell service; your best internet access is at the nice public library 7 miles away in Ravenna Sand beach is an easy walk from all camp sites and boat trailers can be parked on your camp site Boat launch has a big trailer parking lot, too. There are hiking, equestrian and mountain biking trails in the park and launching off paddle boards is ok at the boat launch or the nearby beach Friendly staff and camp hosts!
