  West Branch State Park Campground

  A little Secret in Ohio

  Beautiful area for a get away in Ohio. The beach is never too packed. You can take kayaks out and venture off around the shores.

  Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

  Dog Friendly

  This park is one of my favorites in Ohio at this time. Most of the sites are some what private. There are many trails and even a fog park next to the lake.

  WTTR is our families favorite place to be during camping season in Ohio. It has everything you can imagine, it’s safe and CLEAN! We couldn’t recommend a resort more than this one.

  Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

  Outstanding site in great campground

  Stayed on a premium patio site and loved it. The campground and staff were awesome. Level site, great hook ups, awesome WiFi and cable. Clean facilities, 3 lakes (one with a fishing pier), 2 dog parks, and super friendly staff. 30 min to Cleveland. Walmart, gas stations and restaurants within 5 miles. Just off Ohio Turnpike, but can't hear it. Definitely recommend this KOA

  West Branch State Park Campground

  Awesome state park with many amenities

  Ranger Review: Morsel Spork at West Branch State Park

  **Campground Review: **

  This state park was very welcome after our first two unlucky Ohio state park experiences. We had no trouble pulling in at 3 pm on a Sunday after Labor Day with no reservations and snagging a very nice spot (Site 50 backs up to Kirwan Reservoir). There are two loops that are on Jay Lake where there is a beach; it was understandable that there weren’t any water view spots that had not been reserved here. A very quiet park that is well-maintained with lots of amenities. Even the rumbling of the nearby trains was on the quiet side! Nice playground with toy stocked sandpit, volleyball net, cheap laundry ($3 per load, wash and dry), dishwashing sinks, showers, and clean bathrooms. There was even a step stool for kids to be able to reach the sinks. A staffed store(9am-7pm on Sunday, 11am-7pm Monday– Thursday and 9 am– 8:30 pm on Saturday) with basic supplies and, of course, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Some of the sites have a slight grade so be cautious when selecting. Many trees that provide separation between sites. Several short hiking trails. A side note: I only saw one non-Ohio license plate besides ours in the entire park, almost like it is an Ohio secret (not anymore!)

  -----------------

  **Product Review: **

  As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I have the opportunity to test products. At this campground, I tested the large  Morsel Spork from Outdoor Element. I have to admit that when I unpacked my box from Outdoor Elements, I was surprised at how LONG our morsel sporks were(we have other sporks that are much shorter so I was expecting these to be a similar size) but then I saw a photo of someone using it with their freeze-dried meal and it was an aha moment! No need to dirty another dish because this mighty spork can reach to the bottom of the pouch with no problem! These sporks are also sturdier than others we have used. The rubber scraper edge is a nice touch – would be great for getting the last delicious bits of meals from the freeze-dried meal pouches and I’m thinking also in glass or plastic containers. A very nice addition to our camping tools.

  Berlin RV Park & Campground

  Amazing restrooms and showerhouse! Great location.

  My wife and I spent the July 4 weekend here this year and loved our experience. At this time we were camping in our 16 ft pop-up camper so the restroom and shower house were very important.

  The campground is right in the middle of Ohio’s Amish country with easy access to shopping and food and other great experiences like the large cuckoo clock in Sugar Creek (see video)

  Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

  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.

  Kool Lakes Family RV Park

  Averagely Kool Family Campground

  My friends and I were going to a festival in the Northeast Ohio area. The festival camping was full, so we stayed at this location for a night. The sites are very affordable if split between little people. This very family orientated campground has a gravel road system connecting a ton of camp spots, RV locations, mobile homes, a playground, a swimming lake, and a even a fishing lake. The ground itself is huge, so kids can have fun and run around with other kids in nearby sections of the campgrounds. Overall there are a ton of amenities and very friendly staff. We told the office lady we would be back late at night, and she gave us a special passcode to the gate. That was super kind of her. The land isn’t particularly pretty and the campsite for tent camping are rather close together, but it’s a good location overall for RV’s. I wouldn’t recommend this location if you’re trying to enjoy nature, because sites are pretty close together and certainly not secluded. There are positives for tent campers including water taps, outlets, trash receptacles, bathrooms, and hot showers.

  West Branch State Park Campground

  Nice, but busy!

  West 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!

  Berlin RV Park & Campground

  The heart of Amish country

  Spent the weekend here while visiting Amish country in Ohio. For the most part it is just a place to park your camper in a big open area while visiting the area. I have a popup camper without a toilet or shower, so I was put into one of the spots without sewer hookups. These are actually the only spots with any shade. Good dry firewood is available for $3 a bucket ( basically a dollar a stick) which, I thought, was a pretty good deal. Restroom/shower facilities are excellent. There are three showers in each of the mens and womens sides. Each shower has a locking door and a sink. Everything was very clean. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. My only complaint (and it’s very minor) is that you are not allowed to put any outside rugs down. Their afraid you might kill the grass. But the weather was beautiful, so it wasn’t a problem. I will definitely return!

  Atwood Lake Park Campground

  Incredible!

  The Atwood Lake Campground is a true gem in a beautiful area of eastern Ohio! We’ve visited the Atwood region many times in the past but have never camped - but after this visit we’ll be back for sure. The campground is relatively new, with the campground area being completely revamped beginning in 2017. There are two overnight camping areas with seasonal sites in a separate section; we stayed in “Camp H” which is the newest area. There is a huge bathhouse with two sets of men’s and women’s restrooms and shower facilities along with a very nice laundry area. Adjoining the bathhouse area is a beautiful pavilion and children’s playground - all of which overlooks Atwood Lake. The campsites are nicely spaced though if you’re in the inner loop as we were or even some of the outer ring sites you’ll be looking right into your neighbor’s site. All sites are FHU on level concrete pads and include a metal picnic table and fire ring. If needed there are two very well equipped dump stations if you prefer to use them instead of the sewer connection at your site. Many sites are on cul de sacs directly on the lake with docks and fishing areas adjacent to the campsites. Lots of hiking trails, paved bike paths, a swimming beach and restaurant are in a nearby area. We loved the campground and will return soon!

  Beautiful Campground

  This is easily one of the most beautiful and well kept campgrounds we've stayed at. We spent a long weekend in a pull thru site. The bathrooms were clean, the showers we nice and the pool was well kept. Each site comes with a fire ring and picnic table both in good condition.

  The pull thru sites were a tad small but nice and long. Even with the sites close together it was quiet and peaceful.

  There is a nice path through the woods down to the reservoir, where you can fish and kayak.

  Everyone we met were pleasant and welcoming, from the Staff, Owner's and Seasonal Campers.

  Beautiful place, we are planning on making this a yearly stop.

  Great for the kids.

  Went to this nice little spot with 4 kids , the hound and my wife. The 9 tent sites are very large and spacious . It is mostly an established Rv Park . The community was very kind. Showers were clean and spacious. Pool was closed since went before Memorial Day but it was a nice medium sized pool. The camp store had plenty of odds and ends in case you forget something small. There is a local butcher shop right around the corner and they have an incredible selection to choose from . The Buckeye ebail connects to the footpath down to the reservoir . All and all it was a fun spot to enjoy some car camping with the family. I wish I would of brought my yak so we could have explored the reservoir a bit more . Would of been a short carry from the site and there is a dock just outside of the campground if carrying is not your thing.

  Very Nice campground

  We stayed here in a 29’Tt ,3 kids, 2 dogs. Well kept smaller campground. Kids trick or treated and all campers were very friendly. Due to cooler temps pool was closed . The small putt putt course was still open for kids to play. Playground was a hit for our 8yr and under kids. A nice short walk takes you to Mogadore reservoir , no luck for us fishing from shore. We camped at site #10. Was level side to side, lots are pretty tight in that area. Advice - get there early or you ll have many vehicles and campers to watch for as you back in ! Overall great wkend . Staff had crafts and pumpkin decorating for kids also and were helpful and friendly.

  Liked and will make a season of it

  Although my recent visit to do a recon for a seasonal site was in the off season, it was a really good first impression.  Friendly staff, and found what I hope will be be good spot with reservoir in the distance and leaves on the trees.

  Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

  Good location but expensive for what you get

  Pros: closest camping to Cuyahoga National Park, safe, professional (labeled envelopes with information at check-in and wood delivery) Cons: bathrooms weren’t cleaned or restocked as frequently as necessary (overflowing trash cans, TP empty by 5 pm), shower curtains/showers had mildew, truly dirty bathroom floors, had to drive 1/4 mile to the one trash dumpster, unlevel sites

  One more thing: there’s a significant raccoon and skunk problem along the section with water/electric back-in spots. We got to know our neighbors very well over two nights as we helped each other fend off multiple raids by entire families of raccoons and one very large, very bold skunk. We lost two camping chairs to the skunks because there was no way to fight them off once they moved into our shelter and, even without spraying, skunks tend to leave a scent behind on anything that’s fabric.

  The price is okay in that it is the closest to the national park and the next closest campgrounds are the state park campgrounds (West Branch and Mosquito Lake), but the state park grounds are MUCH nicer and about $15 less per night. If you have the time to drive and can plan your trip months in advance to get reservations, West Branch is a better alternative.

  Pretty good

  We came in after hours so maybe you can avoid that. We were tenting and even with the map in our packet, we had trouble finding the tenting area. No signs for it. But we did eventually! Bathrooms were clean and shower was great. Hot water!

  Saw one way too friendly raccoon who crept within four feet of us despite us being threatening and not having food. Also saw a skunk by the bathroom. Would stay again for sure.

  Fun with rowdy Raccoons

  This is a very nice campground, we were able to get a group site with friends along a wooded section. Every night we were visited by raccoons, they stole our trash on the first night but the other nights we kept everything out of their reach. There were fun little raccoon hand prints all over though. The pool was so nice it wasn't too crowded and the view over looking the "lake" was so pretty. My only complaint is they could have used more restrooms and showers but everyone was very courteous and was quick about it. Thre game room was small but the kids loved it. I would definitely recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

  Great stop for one night

  Great campground on the smaller side, so not too much traffic driving around. Our site was gravel and fairly unlevel. Did our best to level it out but still have water collecting to the left. We lucked out and got a pull through last minute.

  Water pressure was low. ATT cell coverage was full. Lots of shade so couldn’t use our Starlink internet but the campground internet was great. Even had video camera meetings on it while working in the morning.

  Worth noting we were having some rig problems (slide out stuck in) and after calling four local places not one of them returned our calls. Only stayed the one night because we need to move on to get this fixed.

  Very nice holiday KOA

  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).

  Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

  Nice but...

   This KOA is only a few miles from Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is our reason for coming to the area. It's also close to Akron & Cleveland.

   I was pleasantly surprised at how scenic it is. I expected an urban KOA. This one is in a rural area outside Streetsboro. There is light industry behind the campground- trees cover it, but you can still hear it. There's some train & traffic noise.

   Nightly rate for the weekend is$10 higher.$69.99 seems a little high.

   There's 4 ponds, 2 that you can fish. There's a pool, playground & jumping pillow grouped together. Very noisy (we had site  2 right across from it), but it settles down after sunset. 

  The main office has a gift shop/store. They have scoop ice cream & fudge. 

  The sites are nice. The main area has some pull throughs, Some of the back in sites have a view of the pond. The tent sites are at the bottom of a hill & IMO too close together. Also too far away from the bathroom.

    Which brings me to the bathrooms/showers. I requested a site near a bath house since my husband is mobility impaired & we don't have a shower. We had site 2, which is right by the shower house& bathrooms. This one of those bathrooms where there's no Mens/womens, just individual bathrooms. After the first night the showers were all closed...for the duration of our 4 night stay. We had to drive to the back where there were 4 or 5 shower/bathroom combos. All for the use of the entire campground! It was a busy weekend& the bathrooms were VERY dirty. It got better Sunday evening, but when you know a lot of people are going to be in the bathrooms you need to step up your game!
