      Lil John's Campground

      Simple 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.

      Cherokee Park Camground

      Pretty area

      This 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

      Woodside Lake Park

      Convenient and lots of choices

      We 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).

      West Branch State Park Campground

      Great overnight close to Ohio Turnpike

      We 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.

      Perry Township Park

      Hidden Gem

      We’ve stayed here several times over the years and it’s always a pleasant experience. Lots of seasonal campers, but most are only in residence on the weekends. During the week we have the place to ourselves. Clean facilities, the standard picnic table and fire ring. Incredible sunsets, lake breeze and nothing but the crashing of the waves to lull you into a peaceful nights rest.

      Hidden Lake

      Hidden lake campsite

      Its a beautiful campsite surrounded by trees with a lake right in the middle of the park. They do provide fire wood though its not always guaranteed. If you like waking up in front of a lake or always dreamt of doing it. This is the place to go. Oh, and a great fishing spot. The lake is always stocked

      Roundup Lake RV Resort

      Sites close together

      We didn’t engage in the many things to do. We are using it as a base camp to go to a Guardians game, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
      On the weekend when it was pretty full, it was tight quarters and this you can hear lots of people. We kinda gave up having a quiet night and went inside the camper. Now it is not the weekend and very few people around. Seasonal are all together, transients grouped together. Did get Hershey’s ice cream at their arcade.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Beautiful peaceful campground

      We paid $25 for the night and it was definitely worth it! Beautiful grassy area with spacious sites. There were clean porta potties, potable water, dump stations, and also a working restroom but we didn’t try it so not sure what that was like. Great cell service and data connection. Only ~15 minutes drive from Cuyahoga! Overall lovely campsite would 100% recommend!

    Guide to Hiram

    Camping areas near Hiram are situated in the Allegheny foothills of northeastern Ohio, with elevations ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet. The region experiences humid summers with temperatures averaging 80-85°F during peak camping season from May through September. Most campgrounds in this area feature mature hardwood forests with mixed oak, maple, and hickory trees that provide natural shade for tent sites.

    What to do

    Lake swimming and fishing: At Nelson-Kennedy Ledges Quarry Park, campers can enjoy swimming in the quarry's clear waters. One visitor described it as having "beautiful water, amazing folks...Swimming, Cliff Diving, very free and fun!" The park also has food vendors and concerts during summer months.

    Disc golf courses: Punderson State Park Campground offers disc golf among its many activities. A visitor noted the park has "opportunities for disc golf, archery range, canoeing/kayaking/row boats, swimming (no lifeguard) and golf."

    Hiking trails: The region features numerous hiking paths through forests and rock formations. A visitor to Punderson mentioned it has "lots of trails, unique sites and tons of history. It was very fun walking around while learning some of the very old and somewhat creepy history."

    Dog-friendly activities: There are several dog friendly campgrounds near Hiram with special canine amenities. At Mill Creek Camping, waterfront sites allow dogs to enjoy the shoreline. A camper mentioned having "our own private little beach which our dog loves. Which is another plus, we have a Rottie mix and they allow her in."

    What campers like

    Quiet, affordable sites: Campers appreciate reasonably priced options in the Hiram area. At Mill Creek, a reviewer noted the "low cost for staying ($18 for a waterside, spacious site for up to 8 people, 2 tents at no additional costs)."

    Privacy between sites: Silver Springs Campground offers well-spaced campsites. A reviewer described it as "a small but very peaceful" campground where "sites were a good size and fit the online description well. Some sites are full sun while others are mostly shade but the website describes them well."

    Site conditions can be challenging: Prepare for potentially uneven terrain. A Punderson State Park visitor warned that "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."

    Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate from April/May through October. Roundup Lake RV Resort has pools and lakes that are "closed to swimming most years" after Labor Day.
