Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from April through October, with a few year-round exceptions like Evergreen Park RV Resort in Dundee. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity. Weather conditions remain relatively mild during camping season, though spring can bring significant rainfall.

These specialized sites cater to through-travelers on the trail system and often provide basic amenities with proximity to water sources.

The camping experience varies significantly between the developed private resorts and more natural settings. Lakeside camping receives consistently positive reviews, with West Branch State Park noted for its "beautiful area for a getaway in Ohio" where "the beach is never too packed." Campers frequently mention the historical significance of the region, particularly along the Towpath Trail where some sites are located near 18th-century canal structures. Train and road noise affects some campgrounds, particularly those near Canal Fulton and along the Cuyahoga Valley corridor. Family-friendly amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and fishing lakes are common at the larger established campgrounds, while primitive sites offer more seclusion but fewer facilities.

    Punderson State Park Campground

    Solo tent camping went well

    I had originally gotten lot #81 but quickly got it switched to #83 because it was just waaaay better. Flatter ground and I was able to go deeper into the woods.

    I went the first week of October, and on weekdays, which was great because I had no neighbors.

    Staff was great, check in area also has a little store with all the essentials stocked up, lots of trails, great for biking and hiking, a park for the kids, fishing, canoeing, showers, flush toilets, all that fancy stuff was there.

    Only down side was occasional road noise which I just can't seem to escape in my area of Ohio. And I personally wouldn't go here on weekends or over the summer because there are RV sites everywhere, which is another thing that dominates my area of Ohio.

    Going again, as long as I don't have the kids, I would try for a test space as far from the road and is deep in the forest as possible. Do that at tge right time of year and I think this will be a great spot for me in the future

    Woodside Lake Park

    Nice quiet camping

    Quiet tent campsite parked in this area. There are quite a few RVs parked here and it appears lively, but the tent area in hilltop was quiet and secluded. Very kid friendly. At night, there was highway noise in the background. A lot to do here but also very close to Cuyahoago Valley National Park.

    Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground

    Great location, laking facilities

    The campground runs along 100 yards or so of the tuscarawas River. Sandwiches by a railroad, and walking path. They allow you to drive to your spot to pack/unpack, but have to park in the lot. While the campsites are scenic and what you expect... the washroom, especially the shower are pretty lacking. There's a nice covered picnic area with grills available with your own gas. And a small (toddler) kids area. All in all, a great cheap spot for a quick stay.

    We stayed mid September and there was live music walking distance every night, a cute ice cream shop a short walk over the bridge, and a nice playground on the other side of the river that was also an easy walk.

    I didnt partake in the canoes... but they do a river clean up monthly and really seem to enjoy what they do.

    All in all a great cheap spot for a quick stay.

Guide to Marshallville

Camping spots near Marshallville, Ohio range from primitive sites along the Tuscarawas River to full-service RV resorts in the heart of Amish Country. The area sits at approximately 1,000 feet elevation with summer temperatures typically averaging between 75-85°F during peak camping season. Winters can be cold and snowy, with most campgrounds closing from November through March, though Evergreen Park RV Resort remains open year-round.

What to do

Fishing at multiple locations: At Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park Campground, you can fish in the 800-acre reservoir that surrounds the camping area. "The reservoir itself was nice to look at but fairly weedy at the launch area. People were kayaking for sure," notes one camper who visited from Michigan.

Trail exploration: Silver Springs Campground offers access to wooded walking trails on the east and north sides of the campground. According to a recent visitor, "There is also a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground."

Water activities: Maple Lakes Campground provides boat access to its lakes with additional water recreation options. A visitor called it "a beautiful location" with "fishing lakes had lovely benches" where guests can relax while trying to catch fish.

Bike the historic towpath: The historic Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail passes near Rivers Edge Camping Area, offering miles of paved trail for cycling. One camper noted, "Great access close to parking lot with privacy between you and the trail. Right alongside the river with a picnic table and firepit."

What campers like

Proximity to attractions: Rivers Edge Camping Area offers free camping with convenient access to nearby amenities. One camper appreciated that it's "Only 12 minute drive over to Pro Football Hall of Fame" while noting there's "No running water but close to gas stations and restaurants."

Indoor amenities during colder months: Evergreen Park RV Resort remains open all year with features that make off-season camping more comfortable. A winter camper reported, "The indoor pool is great for enjoying a swim even in January and the bathrooms and showers are spotless and very private."

Natural setting: Findley State Park Campground features spacious, shaded sites with natural separation. "We have enjoyed the shade at our site this week and the space between us and our neighbors," shared one camper, adding, "We can easily get lost on 3 mile hikes in the woods and still be on marked paths!"

Recreational options: Many campgrounds offer multiple activities at one location. At Clay's Resort Jellystone Park, campers appreciate the variety. "The activities here are endless! Fishing, volleyball, basketball, kayaking, zip lining in water with swimming (15 break every 45 min), mini golf, bounce trampoline pad, cornhole, etc! So much for every age," wrote one reviewer.

What you should know

Water availability varies: Several campgrounds have limited or no water access. At Nimisila Reservoir, one camper warned, "Please do not make the mistake I did. There is no running water here. No showers, nothing to wash with or drink. You must bring in your water and bath when you get home."

Site differences within campgrounds: At Findley State Park, site selection matters significantly. A camper advised, "I would recommend doing some research on campsites as they range from small to large for the same price." Sites at most area campgrounds can be reserved online up to 6 months in advance.

Noise considerations: Road noise affects some camping areas, particularly those near towns or highways. At Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground, a visitor observed, "The only potential downside is the proximity to town traffic. It's definitely not the 'quiet and reclusive' type of site."

Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. One Findley State Park camper noted, "Very nice, comfortable campground, kids loved it. Only downfall is trying to find an open spot for reservations. Place is booked most of the time. If you're planning a holiday weekend you need to book 6 months in advance."

Tips for camping with families

Dog-friendly areas: Caskey's Campground welcomes pets and provides adequate space for them. A solo camper observed, "I'm solo camping here and it's a nice campground. You're a little close here but that's at a lot. Prices are great. Nice lake for swimming and one for fishing."

Playground accessibility: At Nimisila Reservoir, parents should note the playground location relative to camping sites. A visitor mentioned, "There is a playground as well," though another pointed out it's "right at a corner where cars drive thru."

Family-focused programming: Some campgrounds schedule regular activities specifically for children. One visitor to Clay's Resort noted, "Have been camping at Clays for a couple years now and if you have kids there is no place better tons of things to do, great water park, amusement place near by, good people and nice family atmosphere."

Level ground for setup: Sites vary in levelness across the region, which can impact family comfort. At Silver Springs Campground, one visitor reported, "The sites are RV and tent sites. They offer coupons for return campers. The surrounding area is nice and the owners are welcoming. Very clean."

Tips from RVers

Hookup options: Full-service sites are limited in the region. Evergreen Park RV Resort stands out as one reviewer noted, "We loved our stay. This place is so nice and clean. The staff is wonderful. Every site is full hookup."

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds have uneven sites. A visitor to Silver Springs Campground warned, "Many unlevel sites. Only 3-30 amp hooks ups, the rest are 20 amp." Similarly, at Caskey's Campground, one RVer traveling through mentioned, "People were friendly enough. Sites have water and electric, and there's a dump station. The bathroom facilities are a little rough but functional."

Ground conditions: Soft ground can cause problems for heavier RVs. One camper cautioned at Silver Springs, "The main problem was very hard to level and soft grass they don't have a well compacted area for your tt/rv."

Seasonal site availability: For RVers planning extended stays, several campgrounds offer seasonal options. Maple Lakes Campground has many long-term campers, with one visitor noting, "Most appear to be seasonal or full time living. You aren't allowed to walk a dog around the park which was a very odd rule. Had to stay at your site."
