    Beaver Creek State Park

    Warm Days, Cool Nights--No Frills Camping

    When you pull into Beaver Creek Family Campground you pretty much have two choices: either you go left into multiple Pine tree sites or right into two cabins and more RV friendly open sites.  A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks.  I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers.  I stayed in one of the first set of 3 pine sites numbered 43, 44, and 45.  There is some brush and cover between these sites, but each has a pull in parking pad.  If 45 was occupied with a RV, 44 would not be as nice as it was.  Backing into 44 and 45 would be tricky as well.  To be fair any larger RV that came in better know how to get through tight quarters.

    The back area of each of those 3 sites looked best to get even ground for a tent.  My buddy hung his hammock between the tree to the left of the picnic bench and to a tree back and left in the picture of site 44.  Site was fairly clean, but be sure to move the pine tree duff away from the fire pits to be safe. 

    Probably the nicest pit toilets I have experienced and while we didn't use, it the sun shower building would give anyone privacy if they had packed a portable shower.  Lots of trails to choose from and the pioneer village in the state park gives you many options to spend the day.  Had some luck fishing at the Canoe/Kayak area in the South East area of the park close to the Group Camp Sites.

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Lots to do for the whole family

    My wife and I stayed here in late September so it wasn't overly crowded. The camp sites were fairly spacious and level. There seemed to be water fill stations scattered around the campground for convenience. I was actually able to fill me fresh water tank from one near by. The campground is fairly large and we rode our bikes around quite a bit, including our to the campground store at the entrance. There were numerous playgrounds and activities for kids. They have full hookup sections, but most of the campground is electric only. All in all the best review I can give is to say that we would go back.

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Great State Park Campground

    We just got back from our first trip to Mosquito Lake State Park Campground. All in all, it was a great experience. 

    We stayed in site 67, which is a waterfront site, with electric. The water is about 25 yards from the pad, but is visible from the entire site. The site was spacious, but not as private as some of the others. There is some woods between this site and the sites on either side, but other sites are visible. The fire pits and picnic tables were staggered, so it created some distance to make it feel more private. 

    The campground as a whole, was very quiet. We stayed from Wednesday to Friday. The group next to us seemed a little rowdy when we first pulled in, but by 10:00 there was no noise anywhere near us. 

    Most sites seemed pretty level from side to side, but where we were, several had a slope from front to back. Away from the waterfront, most sites looked pretty level. The amount of space between sites varied from site to site. Some sites had woods on both sides, while others were pretty open. Some had nice large grassy areas, others were much smaller. Sites from 214-224 are in a cul de sac and are water front, but they were pretty close together with very little privacy between sites, if any. They are very close to the water though. 

    There are bathrooms and water scatter about, but from what I saw there was only 1 shower house. 

    Wal-mart and other shopping and restaurants were about 3 miles away. Park was easy to get to, only one turn for us off the highway. Lake was great for kayaking and paddleboarding. Very nice dog park in a different part of the park. There is a boat launch accessible from inside the campground. 

    Dump station has 2 lanes which was nice when checking out. Fresh water fill up was also located near the dump station.

    Helpful Staff and a few waterside sites

    Booked a one night stay a day ahead of time on Ohio State Park site with full hookup.  when we arrived the site had been given away by staff to move someone from a noisy area.  Gave us the choice of a couple of other electric only sites.  Found one right near the water and couldn't have been happier!  Site 222 was on a cul de sac right across from the water.  Site is probably under water in early year.  Had a Pileated woodpecker visit us within 10 yards.

    Can't say how nice Wilma from the park office was.  She was very apologetic and at the end of our stay gave us a gift card to use for another stay.  Both Wilam and the camp host checked on us to make sure we were happy.

    Bring your kayaks and bikes.

    Nice Stay, Clean Facilities

    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

    Beaver Creek State Park

    A perfect one night trip

    The sites that were around us had a perfect view of the Beaver Creek Valley. Our site was more in the corner with trees and brush blocking the view but we still enjoyed our site. Check in was easy since you can go right to your site and they have your trip details already pin to you campsite post. We stayed during the week so we didn’t share the campground with that many people. The campground was mixture of large sites and some small sites. The smaller sites were near the playground. We were thoroughly impressed by this campground, even if it was a smaller state park. We only stayed a night but we had a really nice and relaxing time at the state park. We were able to check out two of there trails but they have a quite a few trails. They had the pioneer village which was cute and interesting to walk through. Overall, a perfect low stress one night trip.

    Family Favorite

    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.

    Beaver Creek State Park

    Crowded and noisy

    If you like peace and quiet this is not the place. No privacy. Dogs barking constantly, cars driving up and down the road constantly...kids screaming and running up and down the road especially young ones that definitely need adult supervision. Most of the sites are small and too close together. Not much room to maneuver a trailer into the narrow uneven pads. The rest of the site was full of rocks, cigarette butts and bottle caps. Came for a relaxing weekend and so far just been annoyed by rude people. Drinking water available but rvs are not allowed to fill tanks. Vault toilets. Full at&t reception. Quiet time 10pm-7am

    Fantastic campground!

    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!

    Fantastic campground

    #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.

    Nice state park

    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.

    Relaxing

    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.

    Nice Family Campground

    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.

    Finally out, nice weekend

    I’ve always loved this quite, small campground. It’s been closed over the last 2 seasons due to the Ash bore, but the future is bright for this area.

    Be sure to take in the Pioneer Village

    Nice wooded play area

    Big park. Lots of trees. The shower houses are nice. The bathrooms could use some updating. They are the old outhouse style. Lots of mosquitoes. We rented a pontoon boat. There was a lot of sea weed. Has to stay strictly in the middle. The park is beautiful.

    Gorgeous views

    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.

    West Branch State Park Campground

    Full of spirit!

    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.

    Overnight on way out east

    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.

    Quiet park with nice amenities

    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!
