Guide
We stayed at Timber Ridge for a month and found this to be a very nice campground. Stores are very level, full hookups, fishing pond, amazing indoor swimming pool. Staff was extremely nice. Many if the campers are long term but have several overnight doors as well.
We stayed in a 29ft Travel Trailer, but sites could handle the largest of rigs.
Ranger
This campground is right off of interstate 80, and a very easy stop! Clean bathrooms/showers, mostly level sites, full hook ups available, tent area available, nice pool and play area. Sites are good size in length, but pretty close to your neighbor. Enough space to sit, but not much room. Only about 15 minutes to Cedar Point which is a nice, easy drive. Not much in the camp store and not many opportunities to shop nearby.
Scout
Classic woods car/trailer camping. This is our families "home" park since it is so close. There needs to be a lot of cleanup, the woods inbetween sites and overrun with dead and falling trees. Overall it is just as I expect from year to year ever since I was a little kid.
Guide
This campground is perfect for tents, as they get to camp right on the water. The electric/full hook up sites are pretty close together considering it’s a state park. There are very few full hook up sites. The dump station is on an incline and the inlet pipe is a foot off the ground which makes dumping challenging.
Guide
This park is fantastic because not only does it offer a large amount of more spread out RV hookups and campsites but also miles of hiking, mountain biking and horse trails as well as a canoe livery down the road. There are a couple waterfalls, a scenic overlook, fire tower, dam, pavilions, playgrounds and lots more.
Traveler
Beautiful sites! Plenty of room
Plenty of electric and water sites
And full hook- up sites.
Guide
Very much the quintessential RV park. Overpriced, but you are really paying to be close to the amusement park.
Full hookups. Nice pool, close to the beach. Clean bathrooms and showers. Fully stocked store. Close to neighbors, but some well-placed shrubbery makes it feel private.
Camping here allows an hour early into the park.
Legend
This is a really nice family campground and day use area. There are lots of activities centered around the lake and beach area. It has a store and other recreational areas. There is a lot of day use activity around the lake. The majority of RV’s I say were seasonal with full long-term hookups. There were just a few short-term travelers. The area I was camped in was called Lower Meadow, and they had apparently received a lot of rain because they had recently added large stones to define the RV site area. It was not ideal but seemed to work ok. The spacing between sites is not great. I was right next to the maintenance area which included buildings, tractors, lawn mowers and other equipment. A lot of the better campgrounds have those things set apart. There is convenient access to Cuyahoga NP and shopping in Akron for major resupply needs
RangerThis campground is beautiful! Well maintained, level concrete, shady spots, full hook ups, right on the water and walking distance to cedar point park. Very helpful staff and extremely clean! Beautiful pool. This place is perfect!
GuideThere are very few campgrounds near Cuyahoga Valley NP. Caskey's campground in Orrville is about 30 minutes away. Most of the campsites are occupied by long-term residents - only a few sites are used by people like us staying just a few nights. We were there for 3 nights. People were friendly enough. Sites have water and electric, and there's a dump station. The bathroom facilities are a little rough but functional. The road in is really bumpy so take it slow.
Scout
A variety of sites from primitive to full hook up. Flush toilets and clean showers. The lake is small and limited to electric motors only, but nice for kayaks and SUP. And for those of you looking for a little more comfort check out the lodge for a little less rugged stay.
Scout
This is a beautiful location. Lots of long term campers. Beautiful trees and the fishing lakes had lovely benches. We were just passing through and the staff made an after hours check in simple and effortless. The fact that we could book and reserve our exact spot online also made it great. Sites had a bit of space so that was nice. We would definitely return for vacation.
Guide
Nice campground clean restrooms. Didn’t use the showers since we had full hook up. Swimming Pool and trails to ride the golf cart. Activities on the weekends.
LegendThis state park has a lot to offer with the highlight being a large 2,650-lake that appeals to fishermen, boaters, and swimmers. The park is over 5,000 acres and not only has camping but hiking, volleyball, fishing, playgrounds, picnicking, hunting, horseback riding, and more.
The campground is divided into three loops with nearly 200 sites. Campsites include those with full hook-up (50 amp), electric only (50 amp), and some with no electric. This campground is suitable for everything from large RVs to tents. Sites and roads are paved and each site has a picnic table and fire pit. In loops where there is no water directly at the site, water spigots are scattered throughout. The restroom/bathhouses in our loop were really nice, modern, clean, and had laundry facilities which is a real plus at a state park campground. Campsites can be reserved online up to six months in advance. Since we were here in April, the campground was practically empty and getting a site was no problem. But, if you want one of the 29 full hook-up sites in the summer, you better book early.
We really enjoyed the hiking trails and being able to leave our campsite and be right on the trails. There are approximately 12 miles of hiking trails and an additional 20 miles that are open to horses and snowmobiles. (Be aware that hunting is permitted in certain areas.)
The park is about 15 miles from Cuyahoga Valley National Park which is a fantastic place to explore with a lot going on for the whole family! If you are interested in football, the National Football Hall of Fame is just down the road in Canton. The town of Hudson has a pretty, historic downtown with a fun old soda fountain.
We would definitely stay at this campground again. It was a perfect place to stay while visiting family in the nearby town of Hudson. Loved having a paved site with full hook-ups especially since there was a lot of rain while we were there. The lake was perfect for kayaking and had we been able to stay longer we would have spent more time on the water.
Guide
I recently stayed 2 nights on site 304 which was electric only by choice and when we return we will opt for full hook up since those sites look brand new.

My wife and I visited in early May 2023, they were just starting to open things up after drying out. The camp hosts were super friendly about helping get us arranged and everything we needed. Many long-term residents here and they seemed friendly and kept the place looking nice. Many of the sites are grassy and I could see the potential to get stuck if you ended up in heavy rains. Mobile service was decent in most parts of the park although our spot F30 was on the fringe for usable video.

We have been camping at Whispering Hills Jellystone for 15 years on holiday weekends. They have so many activities for kids and families. They have crafts, swimming, a lake for fishing, newly chip and sealed roads, jump pads x2, hiking trails, a creek to explore and play in, an outdoor theater, and so so much more. This place will keep you busy if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also very relaxing if you want it to be. The best of both worlds. Very clean and well maintained sites and bathhouses! Laundry facility available as well. They also have the best fireworks displays on holiday weekends in the area! They have sites that fit everyone’s needs, full hook up sites close to the pool, electric back in sites (where we normally camp) also close to the pool, we like the electric sites better than the full hookup sites but if you like having a concrete pad then full hookup sites are for you! They also have more secluded electric back in sites on the other side of the park away from the hustle and bustle of the campground. They also offer primitive camp sites as well as a variety of cabin choices. This place only grows and gets better with every passing year. I highly recommend giving Whispering Hills Jellystone a shot.
RangerWe only had a brief stay but it was a very nice park. The only downfall I saw is that it is not full hook up in most spots. It looked like there was a lot to do and it was a nice family place. Everyone was out and about.
Legend
We love this park! Lots of hiking! Even saw a bald eagle this trip.
Another Thanksgiving spent in our camper and it was so nice and relaxing. There were more campers than a expected this weekend. I guess everyone likes to social distance in there campers too.
Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off.
No cell service with Verizon at this park.
Traveler
Private campground with lots to do. Full hook-ups, indoor pool, volleyball sand area, lake for catch and release, good wifi, kayaking/tubing opportunities in the Mohican River that runs through the area. The price includes 2 campers per site and anyone extra is $10 a night. We’be never encountered that and seems excessive. Amish Country is miles away.
Guide
Very clean. Close to everything you need close to ferry clean showers camp monitors were friendly sites are paved. 50/30 amp hookups Our site was just a standard electric site. They do have 150 full hook up sites or more. We made our reservations late we were not really concerned about water or sewer as we planned to use the camp ground facilities anyway. Fresh water is available to fill your holding tanks. Dump stations are easily acceptable as are water filling stations Big Boopers restaurant is a great place for breakfast lunch or dinner. If you do t feel like cooking it’s about a 10 min drive. Campground has very good WiFi. We have Verizon had very good reception inland and I. The islands. Bass island is a fun day trip. Sites were level left to right. Had a slight pitch front to back.
Travelergreat except weather, but the park is a favorite of mine. came lots of times when I was a child, brought my 2 boys every year when they were young, now enjoying same park in retirement. lots of walking trails, beach not so perfect, only 15 spots with full hook up, but is a great place to get back with nature. shut off the social media, and enjoy.
LegendThis 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.
ScoutBoth tent camping and RV/Trailer camping. A few Yurts to rent also which are somewhat isolated from the other camping areas. Reservations can be made exactly 6 months in advance and only a few sites are kept open for walk ins anymore. The sites along the cliff overlooking the lake have fabulous views but are ONLY for tents and one should NOT camp there with small kids.
The RV camp sites and many of the other camp sites are inland from the cliff and while wooded are generally very close together and most do NOT have a lake view. The ONLY quiet areas in the campgrounds on the weekends are the cliff tent areas since it is a party island and the young people camping in the interior areas seem to never go to bed.
The Park has a rocky beach (shoes NECESSARY) which is actually a nice swimming area if you aren't looking for sand under your feet or blanket. That beach is the only free public place to swim on the island (some hotels do have pools). That beach area is a great area though to launch a kayak or sailboard to use in the cove. There is also a regular boat ramp for larger boats or jet skis. NO overnight boat tie ups at this state park dock (some at the downtown state park, but those are hard to snag)
The town is about 1.5 miles down the road and easy to get to via bicycle or island taxi - vehicle parking very limited if you try to drive into town. and the town has numerous bars and restaurants with lots of live entertainment on the weekends.
The town is definitely a"party" location on the weekends during the summer months. and there is a very pretty and active harbor there, usually with 100 to 200 boats including some in the 40 to 50 foot range in the harbor on the weekends.
The slow ferry to the island (Miller) is the car ferry and it has free parking if you can leave your vehicle behind on the mainland and transport your stuff to the campgrounds via a bike trailer or some other way (about a mile+ from the ferry dock to the state park). If you do take your vehicle over note that the wait time to bring it back on a Sunday while usually 2 to 3 hours can also be up to 6 hours from when you get in line (beware the Miller ferry stops running about 8pm, ie: near sunset). Usually little or no wait time when bringing a vehicle or RV back mid week.
Pick when you want to go depending upon how much you enjoy noise and partying. Mid week during the summer season is the best time for those who aren't into 24 hour partying and weren't able to snag a cliff side camp site. Kelly's Island is quieter and has a nice natural sand beach, so better for weekend trips if going with a family, or if you definitely need a sand beach. If bands, noise, drinking, and people watching are your desire, well this is the place to go on a summer weekend (ala Key West party atmosphere)
LegendWe 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.
GuideWe recently spend the weekend at Punderson State Park Campground to visit family. There is a ton of stuff to do at this park and it is spread out so you do not feel on top of each other. We stayed at Site 11, this site is on the road with full hook-ups only. The rest of the part is water and electric. We enjoyed hiking, biking, kayaking and sharing stories. There is a beautiful lodge across from the campground that has cabins to rent. Although we didn't play, there is a 27 hole disc golf course, a regular golf course, archery range and several hiking trails. This place will be on our list to return. The only downside was the lake had alot of algae, but this is expected in the heat of summer.
ScoutI loved to camp in the Horse camping area but this year they are allowing tent campers to camp there and it is just not safe. There are multiple tents, sometimes in between horse campers. There are children running around and since this in the back of the campground with no supervision, the campers are leaving garbage at the sites and in the fire pits.
There are two camp hosts in that area and they do the best they can to educate people on horses but most do not understand they were even booked in the horse camp nor do they understand that horses can spook.
The hosts are trying to clean up after these bad campers and reporting them but there does not seem to be anything they can do. They would never allow this kind of thing to happen in the main campground.
If the campers are allowed to camp in the horse camp then the horse campers should be allowed in the main camp. I sure would like a full hook up with electricity and water for my horse trailer.
Whats fair is fair. Why even designate a section just for Horse campers if you are going to allow primitive campers to camp there.
Last year there may have been one or two tents here and there through out the season but this year the tent campers outnumber the horse campers.
