Best Campgrounds near Lake Milton, OH

Lake Milton has several camping options in the northeast Ohio area. Silver Springs Campground sits about 24 miles from Lake Milton and has simple grassy sites at good prices. While the campground doesn't have many frills, you'll be close to nice small towns like Stow and Hudson. Just two miles from Lake Milton is KOA Lake Milton Berlin Lake, which gives good access to the water for boating. Many campers like this KOA for being quiet, even though it's not far from the Ohio Turnpike. Silver Springs doesn't have many trees, so you won't get much privacy or shade between sites. You should book ahead, especially in summer when these places fill up fast. Late spring and early fall are the best times to camp here when the weather is mild. Winter camping works too, but come prepared for cold weather. Summer gets hot, so you'll want shade and plenty of water. Both places have the basics covered, but bringing extra supplies is a good idea. Make sure to reserve spots ahead of time, particularly for weekends and holidays.
