Best Campgrounds near Macedonia, OH

622 Reviews

The Macedonia, Ohio area features several established campgrounds within a 30-minute drive, including Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Silver Springs Campground, and Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA. Camping options range from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV spots and cabin rentals. Silver Springs Campground in Stow offers affordable electric sites on grassy terrain, while the Streetsboro KOA provides more amenities including tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options. Heritage Farms offers a unique camping experience on a working Christmas tree farm with primitive tent sites and shelters, particularly popular with cyclists using the nearby Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from April through October, with limited year-round options. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer months. "Sites are big and grassy but not super level. Wasn't a big issue for us but could be for a bigger camper," noted one visitor about Silver Springs Campground. The area experiences typical Midwest seasonal patterns with humid summers and cold winters. Spring camping often encounters muddy conditions, as several reviews mention straw being placed at campsites to absorb excess water. Many campgrounds provide basic amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and access to drinking water, though hookup availability varies significantly between locations.

Campers frequently highlight the region's proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park as a major draw. The park's extensive trail system, including the popular Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, connects to several camping areas and provides excellent hiking and cycling opportunities. One reviewer described Heritage Farms as "a great option for cyclists along the Towpath in Cuyahoga National Park," noting its convenient location about half a mile from the trail. Water features are another attraction, with West Branch State Park Campground offering lake access for swimming, fishing, and boating. While most campgrounds are family-oriented with playgrounds and organized activities, several primitive options exist for those seeking a more secluded experience, particularly along the Towpath Trail where free hiker/biker campsites can be found at locations like Big Bend Trailhead.

    Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

    Quiet, peaceful, close to all the things

    We stopped here for a couple nights to go to a Cleveland Guardians game and go to Cuyahoga National Park. It was within great proximity to both and had all the amenities the kids and I love. Swimming (wish it were open a little later…) laundry 24/7, a game room, store with just what we needed to pick up a few things, a pond that seemed to always have someone fishing at it (that’s a good thing) and a big wide sites to spread out and have a nice campfire in. (Wood available 24/7 and trash pick up at the site in the AM). It’s always nerve wracking when the fire pits are close to the rigs - loved that these sits were wide. And while there are likely people here it feels nice and spread out.

    Woodside Lake Park

    Old Park With Iron Laden Well Water Beware

       I stayed at this park for 2 months in 2023 and was planing on staying for 5 months in 2025. I left after 2 months due to iron& sulfur laden well water that is provided in at least half the park. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to filter and clean up the water to no avail. It damages everything and they won't put a treatment system in at the well pump like the 2nd well has so you can filter it to an acceptable level for drinking, cooking, washing etc.

       In 2023 I was in a section that was treated and my filters/softener did a acceptable job to make it work. I Used the laundry facilities also. This trip to see family in 2025 I was in a different section and by the second day it was unacceptable disgusting turbid rusty water with sulfur odor. I bought additional filters for Ferrous Iron Water treatment and remediation along with iron out chemical for cleaning fixtures and plumbing system on the camper. It barely worked well enough for a couple weeks between filter changes and rinsing the system for shower use. I Had to buy drinking water in town every few days for cooking, drinking and brushing teeth etc.

       New owners bought the park in 2023 and have increased monthly rent from$750 a month to$950 a month but don't seem to care enough about the health and comfort of their guest to do anything with the well water for a majority of the park. Let alone any of the other infrastructure or"amenities" to be generous in there reference This year even the laundry machines where too disgusting to use that we had to go into town for laundry also.

       The park needs major renovations to just bring it up to modern standards. The bath house is in decrepit condition moldy smelly and barely cleaned anytime I was over there. Site pads are rip rap 1" to 4" size rock with no fine rock coverings, or in some areas smoother rock and dirt but nowhere close to flat or level. Water drainage when its raining is deplorable and you very well might be in a mud pit at your doorway.

       It's sad there are no decent RV parks in the Cleveland area, just old campgrounds that have added hook-ups and market themselves as RV parks and now charge like they are RV Resorts. Reserve a space at your own risk and definitely verify where and what water source you are on. Bring plenty of filters and plan on sanitizing your system after staying there.

    Silver Springs Campground

    Affordable

    The lots are nice and large. The main problem was very hard to level and soft grass they don’t have a well compacted area for your tt/rv. Would be nice to have bathroom built on the campground. Have to walk to the baseball field to use the bathrooms. Overall had a good time with my family.
