Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a destination for millions of visitors each year who enjoy hiking, riding the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad , biking and picnicking. Whether you need an area large enough for a family reunion or just an intimate spot for two, Cuyahoga Valley is an ideal destination. Picnic areas are scattered throughout the park. Two rustic shelters, Ledges and Octagon, are available for reservation in the Virginia Kendall Unit of Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
With many different facilities and attractions in the park, there is something to interest everyone. Most shelter areas have open fields for games and nearby hiking trails.Visitors enjoy riding the scenic railroad, exploring the visitor centers, catching one of the summer concerts, attending one of the ranger-guided programs, biking the Towpath Trail or picnicking in one of the park's picnic shelters.
Cuyahoga Valley's two shelters are fully-accessible. The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed them with American chestnut and locally quarried sandstone. The shelters are located near Ritchie Ledges, an area with approximately 2 miles of Sharon conglomerate stone cliffs about 30 feet (9m) tall. A large play field and hiking trails are available near each shelter.Ledges Shelter accommodates up to 75 people. It has two fireplaces and eight picnic tables inside, as well as eight tables in the outside pavilion and a large grill. Octagon Shelter accommodates up to 50 people. During the summer months its walls are removed; they are in place from October 15 to May 14. Seven indoor picnic tables, two fireplaces and an outdoor grill are provided.Both shelters have electricity for normal two-pronged household appliances such as coffee pots and crock pots. Drinking water is available at a drinking fountain from May 1 to September 15. Restrooms with flush toilets are available year-round.
The Cuyahoga River flows through the park for 22 miles (35 km), fed by more than 190 miles (306 km) of perennial (permanent) and ephemeral (temporary) streams. The Beaver Marsh and other wetlands, many lined with cattails and dense patches of duckweed, provide a home for many of the park's reptiles and amphibians and help filter pollutants from the water.
Visit Brandywine Falls, the historic Boston Store Visitor Center, Ritchie Ledges, the Beaver Marsh and the Everett Road Covered Bridge. These are some of the more popular attractions in the park.
Cancellations more that 14 days before arrival will receive a refund minus a $10 cancellation fee. Cancellations less than 14 days out will forfeit the entire fee. However, the reserving party may be given an opportunity to reschedule the reservation (based on availability) within 12 months of the original reservation by contacting the park.

If you're looking for a quiet place to hang your pole for a weekend, this near-city escape is for you! Less than an hour from downtown Cleveland, and minutes from historic downtowns Wellington and Oberlin, Ohio, is a quiet, wooded retreat with all the amenities.
Fishing, canoeing, and kayaking (rentals and bait available too!) are offered on Findley Lake, as well as a small, uncrowded public beach. Have your own small, non-motorized craft? There is a designated kayak launch at the boat launch area. For day campers, there are numerous sites around this large state park for picnicking and events, bonfire pits and fishing inlets....and bring your frisbees because there is also an extensive frisbee golf course.
The campground consists of several "arms", roads that branch out from the main road, with a good deal of wooded area between for rear site privacy between them. Beware, the sites are close to these roads and quite shallow, but because each road dead ends in a cul de sac, traffic is very light, even when the campground is full, as when we visited. Tall, dense trees surround, deadening sound, which makes the campsites very quiet, and the curve of each "arm" also suggests a more intimate space than the actual site sq footage does. There is a tent only side, with no hookups or electric, where sites are slightly larger and deeper, tucked between treed areas, and the other half of the campground is with hookups, and nearer to the lake, although it is not visible, but accessible by short path. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, pretty standard. There are openings into the wood behind the "arms" for kids to explore, but beware of poison oak, which is prevalent and can be found along the edge of where the campsites all meet the woods...it didn't creep into the woods much, but watch out anyway if you have an allergy. Our group was able to avoid it.
There is a clearing at the entrance to the campground with a large playground, camp store with pizza and ice, occasional vegetable dealers, farmers market style, set up with carts around outside there as well. And if you forgot anything, have no fear, town is only minutes away. Cabin rental is also available in this area. Pets are welcome leashed.
Overall, it's a spot worth spending some time at. Convenient family fun for all.
As a Dyrt Ranger, I have the opportunity to try out new and fun camp gear and in this case COFFEE! Which could not have been more well received for these quiet mornings by the lakeside. Admittedly, at first I had my reservations. I enjoy a good coffee and am a great lover of my french press. But also admittedly, I hate cleaning it out campside. Nature's Coffee Kettle allows me to forgo the part I hate and keep the pour over we all love. With a wide selection from Columbian, to darker or flavored roasts, and even hot cocoa and teas for those toasty nights, Nature's Coffee Kettle impressed me. It comes in it's own reusable kettle bag, although I felt that, when changing out the coffee packs (refill packs are sold) after the initial use, the coffee was not as potent as the first use...probably because once the water is poured through, the bag doesn't stick together as well, holding the coffee to steep as long. (Refer to video review) Regardless, I enjoyed the ease of use, quality of the coffee and pourability. I was able to make a kettle in the morning, screw the spout lid back on and take it with me to the lake later for refills. Later when we went across country for a trip, I was able to board the plane with it in my carry on, flat, hardly taking up any room, and so convenient for those hiking or packing trips. It was fantastic, and easy as pie...which goes great with coffee, coincidentally...

Last August rented Cabin. It was beautiful and very clean. The owners were great and very helpful. !! Cabins are a little high in price.No WiFi,. KOA should lower the prices due to that. Activities are great keeps the kids interested. KOA should have on all camping sites Life Guard if there is water sports involved.Game room was nice and clean.Change machine needs to stay stocked.Fishing lake was great. I think with full swing in Season they should offer more activities for adults too.Camp Store should be more orangized. Bathhouse was very clean!.Trash was picked up every day and the Park very clean.! We have booked another Cabin for May 2021. They have a limited rental on Life jacket s. Bring ur own.!

Relax, breath, and camp. Perfect spot.

Fishing lake, swimming lake, trails. Children play areas. Basketball, bad mitten/volleyball, Dog wash, dog parks (2), private fenced dog sites. (2)- pull through site.
Golf cart rentals, and seasonal sites that are being updated, but all are decorated nicely, and kept up.
KOA is revamping some of this campground. Work in progress, but awesome stay.

This was a Fall camping experience in a cabin as we knew it would be cold in the evenings. We also had a non-camper with us so this was a nice compromise. We had a cozy cabin with 2 bathrooms. We also had a small kitchen where we could cook when we didn't want to cook over the fire. This was another way for us to social distance as COVID-19 was still an issue.
I also took photos of the camping bathrooms as each KOA does it a little differently. You will notice that the bathroom is unisex. It is a single bathroom (toilet and shower). This is in the center of the campground. The bathroom photos below are not of the cabin.
The cabin you see here is the Deluxe. "Deluxe Cabin(More than two Bathrooms), Patio Deluxe Cabin(w/ Bathroom)- Evergreen KL8-9-10 Perfect for large family or two couples with two queen bedrooms, sleeping loft, 1 1/2 baths, kitchenette, 3 tvs located in quiet corner with shade trees. Sorry, Not Pet Friendly! Linens are included in all seasons except Winter. Please bring pool towels." Taken from Reservation Email.
For 2 nights it totaled $153.00 which is a good price compared to other cabins we were looking at within the region. We could have had others camping in the tent section of the campground so it is an easy way to have a mixed crowd for a camping outing.
I did type in some information into the Special Requests within my reservation booking online, as I had a question about who had to pick up the key as a friend lived closer. No one responded and I had to call them.
Cabins Check in is at 3PM and Check out is at 12 PM
We were able to buy firewood from the KOA camp office. They bring it to your campsite and we were able to grill hotdogs and other food items on our camp fire. Do read the general information closely and look at number 15 for a free scoop of ice cream.
https://www.whitehousefruitfarm.com/donuts We did a donut run and explored the farm for our outing for the day.
We also spent the day checking out a local mill https://www.millcreekmetroparks.org/visit/places/mill-creek-park/lantermans-mill/
Guide
We recently stayed at the Yogi Bear Campground and, while the overall experience was fun, the condition of our cabin was absolutely unacceptable, especially considering the$900 we paid for just two nights. Upon arrival, we were shocked by the state of the cabin. There was hair all over the sink, toilet, and shower. The floors were filthy, with dog hair everywhere. It was clear that the silverware hadn't been properly cleaned, and the fans were caked with about a quarter-inch of dust. To make matters worse, we found trash and wrappers lying around, and there was a huge stain on the mattress protector. Crumbs were scattered throughout, indicating that the cabin had not been cleaned prior to our stay. I tried to clean the futon myself after realizing how dirty everything was, and the amount of dog hair and dirt I collected was appalling. When I spilled something on the floor and wiped it up with a paper towel, the towel turned black, showing that the floors likely hadn't been scrubbed in ages.
The water situation was equally disturbing. The water smelled horrible, and both the shower head and faucet were caked with scum. My kids begged not to have to take a shower because of the smell. While I understand that water softeners and filters can be expensive, this was simply unacceptable, especially given how much we paid for the higher-end cabins. At the very least, the website should mention that guests might want to bring a shower head filter or be prepared for the poor water quality.
To add to our frustration, unlike the other cabins, ours didn't have a WiFi access code panel. Some of our friends stayed in nearby cabins, and only a few of them had the WiFi password. When we called to ask for the password, nobody ever called us back. This was especially concerning for our friends who had babies with them and needed WiFi to set up their baby monitors.
This level of cleanliness might be expected in a$50/night cabin, but for the price we paid, it is beyond ridiculous and incredibly disappointing.

Here's what's great about this campground situated at an easy drive from major cities like Columbus and Cleveland...its scenic, a fully loaded campground with bathhouses, parks, hiking paths, swimming resivoir with boat rental...we highly recommend renting a pontoon for the day and hanging out in the resivoir for swimming and lounging! It's both relaxing and nice to get away from the beach crowd!
Scout
Came here and explored. Beautiful place. Seems like awesome cabins. Saw some staff members on a golf cart. Middle aged women. Waved and they looked away instead of waving back. Wouldn’t recommend a place without first knowing the staff are helpful. I’d rather camp in the middle of the woods than be around people that aren’t welcoming.
GuideBeautiful area for a get away in Ohio. The beach is never too packed. You can take kayaks out and venture off around the shores.

This is absolutely one of the nicer KOAs I’ve been at. Well kept, nice size, mostly level /gravel sites with grass. Pavilion picnic areas throughout. 3 ponds. Nice pool, a few play areas. Tent, seasonal, short-stay, cabins. All very nice! Bathrooms/showers immaculate! About 10 minutes off the highway. Nice trees everywhere and sites are good size! Off the road and quiet! Very pleased with it! Walmart just down the road and close to Cuyahoga National Park (lots of hiking).
ScoutStarting off, everyone from the employees to the other campers were super friendly! My boyfriend and I rented The Park Model Cabin which was sort of a half trailer with a full bathroom and full kitchen. The bed was the only detractor of our trip, as it was mostly springs. We brought our air mattress in for the second night and slept much better. The themed weekends throughout the season are fun and festive and there are a lot of activities to do and participate!
GuideI don’t have much to say about this campground but to start off on a high note the pool was nice. Now the reasons for our low rating. WiFi was nonexistent, everything was dirty and run down. Our RV site was ok. Family rented a cabin and it was disgusting. Dirty furniture-dishes-run down. Toilet looked like someone died in it. For $250 a night our recommendation is get a hotel-cheaper and cleaner (which is what our family ended up doing). Oh and letting permanent sites fly all sorts of political flags makes this KOA unwelcoming and honestly a little scary. Do not waste your money here.
Scout
We stay here a couple of times per year and every time it’s a blast. The swimming pond has inflatables and boat rentals. There’s good fishing, and typically lots of activities. The place is clean and friendly with a pretty good selection at the camp store.
GuideMy family has camped at West Branch for years, and it makes for a great, quick getaway. Summers can be very crowded, it's always best after the kids go back to school and it cools off a bit. Great swimming, and Nelson Ledges is not to be missed!
RangerWest Branch is one of the best-known family campgrounds in NE Ohio. And it's not hard to understand why. Full amenities, clean facilities, and a nice lake round out the picture of a great place to get some family R&R.
Here's what you can expect:
1. It's Busy.
Like, really busy. Be sure to book early as spots fill up often. Sites are fairly close to each other, but most people seem respectful of space and limits.
2. It's Accessible.
West Branch is a quick drive from Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Youngstown - hence the draw. if you live anywhere close, there's no reason NOT to check this place out!
3. It's Fun (but a bit loud)
If you're looking for quiet, West Branch might not be the place for you. Since the lake has not real HP limits, you'll hear boats motoring quite a bit throughout the day.
4. It's got everything :)
Seriously. There's nothing else you could want. Hiking trails, swimming, a fully stocked office for the essentials you forgot.
Quick tip: Bring swimsuits. There are plenty of places to swim in the well-kept beaches or off a boat. West Branch is a great family getaway for summer swimming!
GuideWe’ve tent camped here several yrs. Haven’t Back our camper in yet but we re waiting for an opening . It’s booked up for a reason . Shower houses are nice and flow hot water when needed. Grounds are clean and well maintained. Beach is small yet clean and nice . Sites are shaded and nice size . Some larger than others. We fished w little luck around boat ramp and shoreline around there . Overall great family get away .
ScoutAs a former seasonal camper I would not recommend it to seasonal campers nor regular weekend campers. They are very over priced on their sites and they don’t offer as much for the kids as other Jelleystones. Mill-Run and Kozy Rest are much better for families. As far as seasonal campers this was our first year there and was notified along with 44 others that we were being displaced for cabins to be put in. Some campers have been there for 18+year and have park model campers. They are giving use about 2 months to have everything off the property. They notice was taped to our camper doors. They offer another site but this happened last year to a few at this same place, and is happening aging. So why take a chance for a third time plus they don’t have 45 open sites to put all of us. Not to mention they raised the seasonal rate to almost$5000 just for a regular site not even on the lake or close to anything. This park is owned by Northgate and is just using the Jellystone name they don’t care about the kids or morals. I will never be camper here again after this season and we have our camper off and safe either at home or at a new camp. Which again it’s so late in the year it’s hard to find any place with an opening. All this place has is the lake and now a pool that just opened for about 3 weeks and closed now after Labor Day they have nothing going for them. My advice save your time and money go to Mohican, KOA, Mill-Run or Kozy-Rest. Anything that Nothgate doesn’t own.#clayspark#nothgate#jellystone

Campsite G is the one. It is an open lean to with a stone fireplace facing the inside of the three sided wooden structure. Various watercraft rentals available, but look at availability before you go if that is included in your plans. Park has tent sites as well. Site G is a great setting and therefore books out more readily than other sites. Best for relaxation, chill kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, and shorter walks. Four stars because it is not a vast wilderness adjacent experience.
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.
LegendFindley State Park was our family's getaway! Living in Northeast Ohio, you have the "benefits" of a big city, yet you are within a half hour of solitude and good trails.
While there are several fantastic places to camp within an hour of Cleveland...FSP was our "go-to!" It didn't take us long to pack it all up and head out for a quick weekend, weekday or overnight stay.
We have camped at Findley State Park in every season, and each season holds it own beauty. Fall color change is brilliant with its yellow, orange and reds! Winter brings great (yet sporadic) snowfalls...where we have Xcountry skiied and tented (only pit latrines are open at that time). Summer is pleasant and affords dips in the swimming area. Fishing is superb...and wildlife is abundant.
The trail system is very well maintained and marked. It makes for great daily hikes and enjoyable trail-riding. They do offer a challenging mountainbike trail...but be forewarned...it is not for the beginner.
Peak times and holidays are super busy...and wall-to-wall campers and people. Weekdays are usually sparse...and shoulder season weekdays you'll have the park to yourself.
What I enjoyed most was the flat water paddling. Here, even if it was busy, you can escape the crowds and enjoy nature. If you get the itch to go, check out: http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/findley for all the details.

Jellystone Akron-Canton was a nice place. My mom wanted to go there because she thought the kids would like it more with all the activities. It was my family with 3 kids aged 11-13, my sister's family with kids aged 5-15, my parents, my adult daughter and her 3yo son, and my brother. You are only permitted one tent per site or there's an additional $15/night charge. They did not charge us for our additional tent which we decided to pop for the kids after night one.As a camper you get a wristband. The wristband gets you access to the mini golf and pool. This campground has a really nice mini golf course! It's free for campers but the public can come and pay to play. Crowds weren't an issue at the mini golf while we were there. The pool was busy. Many poolgoers were public payers. The pool hours were only 11a-7p. It would be nice if they would close the pool to the public a few hours of the day to allow campers exclusive access. There are lifeguards and hourly swimmer breaks. The pool seemed clean.
They have an activity barn where you can make diff crafts (a fee for the nicer ones of course). Our kids did a few of the included crafts and seemed to enjoy them. It would be helpful if the craft options were made more clear, with costs and an example of the finished product.
There were daily activity offerings (rides around the park on a wagon, a firetruck ride, yogi bear visits, food truck Fridays, bingo, daily flag raising, scavenger hunts, etc. - check their website https://akroncantonjellystone.com for schedules. I HIGHLY recommend you download the CampersApp (park code YOGIAC) if you decide to stay here -or any park that utilizes it- because it gives you reminders and updates of what's going on, weather, pay per use services (firewood, ice, etc). It is easy to lose track of time and miss something you wanted to do and this App helps you remember. I think our kids would've been just as happy at a state park because they've been raised to appreciate the outdoors but could see how this could be a draw for kids still learning that and needing constant entertainment. Our kids did enjoy many of the offerings here 🙂.
We only tried the nachos from the food counter. However, we had daily ice cream! The ice cream flavors were unique and DELICIOUS and if you go you have to try the raspberry oreo!
You have to buy their firewood and cannot bring your own. The downside of that is that it was waaaay over priced ($6.75 for 6-8 cuts).
We are tent campers for now. The designated tent spots are near a road that can be a little busy (Hoover Ave.) and at night the campground was louder than we're used to but didn't keep us from sleeping. There are quiet hours but they weren't enforced while we were there. There were two groups staying in cabins who were arguing loudly outside and playing loud music. This campground is not in the woods. It's mostly a plot of land, situated beside roadways and field with some trees and a creek, with camper, cabin and tent sites. Part of the reason we liked the tent sites was because they were tree lots next to a creek. There's less of a woodsy wilderness feel for sure so we prefer state park type campgrounds or park like environments for this reason.
In addition to the above, for the kids there's a huge slide (the burlap .....you sit on to slide down was really filthy because it's left out in the elements) a gaga pit, a playground, basketball, human foosball and pedal carts. As a camper you could check out balls for free. I'm not sure why but the pedal carts weren't being used by anyone. We were here a few years ago and my son ended up in a creek on his after sliding off the gravel road.
The cost to stay here is relatively high but if you truly take advantage (and are able to) of all that's offered, it's reasonable.
The shower house was very nice. Updated showers and flush toilets. There were also sporadic bathrooms around the campground.
The workers seemed friendly enough. Other campers seemed grumpy. We did get a huge storm the first night we were there so maybe that upset them?
So, if you're camping with kids or like to play unlimited mini golf, eat delicious ice cream or swim in a pool while you camp, I highly recommend this place. Otherwise, it's mediocre at best.
GuideThis was my second trip to Clays! First time choosing Deluxe Red Carpet with a pop up. Highly recommend close proximity to bathrooms and showers. Spacious! Concrete slab with full hookup and straw instead of mud/grass. The bathrooms are very well cleaned and maintained. Showers are spacious with an entry changing room prior to shower. Curtains only. No shelf in shower and water takes up most of the stall. The activities here are endless! Fishing, volleyball, basketball, kayaking, zip lining in water with swimming (15break every 45 min), mini golf, bounce trampoline pad, cornhole, etc! So much for every age. They offer golf carts for rentals as well. There is a lot of walking if you don’t want to drive.
LegendThis park had a few cool things we haven't seen at the other state parks yet. Cute things like a bike repair station that holds your bike and has tethered tools to use, an outdoor "take a book, leave a book" library with a "take a stick, leave a stick" area for the dogs, dog tie ups and dog pick up bags around the entire park and a Storybook trail that has storybook characters throughout the hike. There is a very small but interactive nature center with a live bee hive and a small store, many picnic areas, tons of parking to access the various lake and trails, including a medium size beach with restrooms and a seasonal concession stand.
We stayed at site 210 and absolutely loved it. It is one of the larger sites, separated by trees and plenty of spots to hang some hammocks. One site over was one of the MANY paths to the MANY trails throughout the entire park. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many hiking and biking trails in a single location and is clearly one of the parks biggest attractions. The trail behind our site went along the lake that you could just see through the woods from our site and branched off in many directions. We stayed "out of season" and during the week so it was extremely peaceful and vacant. The shower houses were very modern and well kept. My only issue was the showerheads being under 6' high on the walls was a bit awkward. Also, cell service was surprisingly good at our actual site but extremely spotty anywhere else in the park. I have Mint (T-mobile/Sprint) and my wife has Verizon.
Now for the neutrals and negatives. All sites, except for the few full hook-ups and handicap sites, are gravel and not the most level. The park only has flush toilets in the couple shower houses. The latrines' throughout the park are a mix from very new style latrines' with LED lights, to rental porta-potties. Maybe due to it being so late in the season but the latrine in the center of our cul-de-sac was extremely full, smelled at our site quite often and was more full of sewer flies then I have ever seen.
The majority of the campsites are non-electric. These areas are much more tree covered and seem to have much larger sites. Unfortunately, these are also the majority of the areas with the rental porta-potties.

Very few people know that there are MANY camping options along the towpath designed for cyclists and hikers! The Stanford House campground is the only one that's relatively easy to find online, but there are many other options.
We just completed a nearly 200-mile bikepacking trip, starting in Cleveland. We followed the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath, Sippo Valley Trail, into the Amish Countryside to Mohican State Park, then on to the Mohican Valley Trail and the Kokosing Gap Trail.
Here are some others along the towpath (north to south) between Cleveland and Massillon:
