    Mill Creek Camping — Berlin Lake Wildlife Area

    Bad experience

    Stayed here on Saturday night of July 4th weekend. Arrived after hours without a reservation. No information on how to self register or which campsites were available even though some sites are first come first served. Found an open site, set up and went to bed. There were fireworks (prohibited) and the campsite next to us played loud music but it was before quiet hours so we didn’t mind. The loud music turned into a party with alcohol (prohibited) and the loud music continued way past quiet hours. No campground host or personnel did anything about the noise/party. At 12:30am we moved campsites because we couldn’t sleep. We saw sheriff patrolling the campground - don’t know why they didn’t quiet the offenders.

    The campground is large with many sites so the probability of inconsiderate people is higher. I won’t be returning.

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Big, beautiful lake!

    Great park! Sites are spacious and level. Very clean park. There are several full hook-up sites. Electric sites near the lake. We stayed at site #96. New Bathrooms are under construction. Campground is flat and great for bike riding. Nice playground for kids. Dog park nearby. Camp is near beach & marina. Also many shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive. We will definitely be coming back to Mosquito Lake!

    Mill Creek Camping — Berlin Lake Wildlife Area

    Busy, but not too bad :)

    Stayed a night here near the end of June after a rainstorm. A few quick highlights:

    1. Because there are a ton of sites, you can expect one thing: variety. There are plenty of aluminum Airstream, Winnebago, fifth wheels, pull behind, and tents. You can expect to find a little bit of everything here.

    2. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, Mill Creek might not be for you. Most of the sites seem to be typically pretty packed. Generally, people respect quiet hours, but with sites so close to each other, noise is a factor.

    3. The surrounding area seems to be pretty spartan. There’s a grocery store about 10 minutes up the road, a bait shop about three minutes away, and a drive-through (with some light groceries and drinks) about two away. Nice enough folks in all three :) Super helpful and accommodating.

    4. Berlin lake seems to be the big draw. Plenty of boats, jet ski‘s, kayaks, and swimming opportunities. If that’s your thing, plan accordingly and you won’t be disappointed.

    Overall, Mill Creek is a pretty solid site within driving distance of Akron / Canton. I’ll be back, with adjusted expectations.

    Quick tip: My particular site was pretty muddy upon arrival. Granted, that was after a bit of rain. But it wouldn’t hurt to bring an extra pair of shoes ;-)

    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.

    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.

    West Branch State Park Campground

    A ++

    Always a great time at West Branch. The staff are very friendly and care a great deal about the quality of everyone's experience - they inspect and clean each site after the sites are vacated. The quiet hours are truly quiet, the bathrooms are very clean and fresh. Decided to rent a pontoon for the day - the boats were also very clean and well kept - they also have the option of an inner tube or jet skis if you want to rent those as well!

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Great State Park Campground

    We just got back from our first trip to Mosquito Lake State Park Campground. All in all, it was a great experience. 

    We stayed in site 67, which is a waterfront site, with electric. The water is about 25 yards from the pad, but is visible from the entire site. The site was spacious, but not as private as some of the others. There is some woods between this site and the sites on either side, but other sites are visible. The fire pits and picnic tables were staggered, so it created some distance to make it feel more private. 

    The campground as a whole, was very quiet. We stayed from Wednesday to Friday. The group next to us seemed a little rowdy when we first pulled in, but by 10:00 there was no noise anywhere near us. 

    Most sites seemed pretty level from side to side, but where we were, several had a slope from front to back. Away from the waterfront, most sites looked pretty level. The amount of space between sites varied from site to site. Some sites had woods on both sides, while others were pretty open. Some had nice large grassy areas, others were much smaller. Sites from 214-224 are in a cul de sac and are water front, but they were pretty close together with very little privacy between sites, if any. They are very close to the water though. 

    There are bathrooms and water scatter about, but from what I saw there was only 1 shower house. 

    Wal-mart and other shopping and restaurants were about 3 miles away. Park was easy to get to, only one turn for us off the highway. Lake was great for kayaking and paddleboarding. Very nice dog park in a different part of the park. There is a boat launch accessible from inside the campground. 

    Dump station has 2 lanes which was nice when checking out. Fresh water fill up was also located near the dump station.

Guide to Middlefield

Tent and yurt campers visiting Middlefield, Ohio can access camping options in Ohio's Amish Country, positioned within the rolling hills of Geauga County. The area typically sees moderate seasonal temperatures with higher precipitation during spring months, particularly May and June. Winter camping requires preparation for potential snow and below-freezing temperatures at elevations ranging from 1,100 to 1,300 feet.

What to do

Disc golf excursions: Punderson State Park Campground offers an extensive disc golf course popular with campers. "Beautiful scenery, very large park, fishing, boat rentals, man made beach, loooong floating boardwalk, lots of trails, unique sites and tons of history," reports Daniel U., highlighting the range of activities beyond disc golf.

Archery practice sessions: Several parks feature designated archery areas for skill practice. "Opportunities for disc golf, archery range, canoeing/kayaking/row boats, swimming (no lifeguard) and golf," notes Rebecca G. about Punderson State Park Campground.

Paddling and boating: West Branch State Park provides multiple water access points for personal watercraft. "Great site! Shades lots of space semi private area. Right off the water with area to tie boat for easy water access," writes Katelyn P., describing the convenience of lakeside camping at West Branch State Park Campground.

Explore historical sites: The region contains numerous historical landmarks and buildings. "The park is very nice. Great Lodge. Nice lakes and cabins to rent," says Coy, referring to the historic lodge at Punderson State Park, which features architecture and stories from earlier eras.

What campers like

Private, wooded sites: Many campsites offer natural privacy barriers. "The sites are huge. The dog park is amazing. Theres so much to do here. Swimming, boating, fishing. We love it," shares Courtney C. about Mosquito Lake State Park Campground, pointing out the spaciousness of the sites.

Well-maintained bathroom facilities: Select campgrounds provide updated shower and restroom facilities. "Showerheads were to low for anyone over 5'7", and only a few sites were full hookup," mentions Rebecca G., noting both limitations and cleanliness at Punderson.

Varied terrain for camping experiences: From hillside to lakefront sites, terrain options match different preferences. "Really cool 'hill' sites that you have to hike up or down 20-100 feet to your wooded site," explains Daniel U., describing Punderson's unique topography and camping layouts.

Family-centered activities: Organized events cater to families with children. "Swimming pond has inflatables and boat rentals. There's good fishing, and typically lots of activities," notes James S. about Woodside Lake Park, highlighting the child-friendly atmosphere.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Many campgrounds operate on restricted schedules. "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," advises Zachary A. about camping at Punderson State Park during quieter periods.

Site leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at certain campgrounds. "The lots are not even close to level. You will need a lot of blocks to get close to level. Saw one RV with auto levelers with his tire about foot off the ground," warns Coy about Punderson's RV sites.

Limited full-hookup availability: Electric, water, and sewer connections vary widely. "The sites greatly very on size and flatness so make sure you look at the pictures of the site before you book some are basically the parking pad and a fire ring," recommends Joe I., emphasizing the importance of site research before booking.

Yurt camping options: Several parks provide yurt accommodations for glamping experiences. "My 6 year old daughter lived her farm animal dream life for a week! The hosts were so accommodating," shares Hillz M. about their yurt camping experience at The Farm at Grand River, highlighting the family-friendly atmosphere.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Select sites near play areas for convenient supervision. "A good amount of secluded and shaded sites. Really cool 'hill' sites that you have to hike up or down 20-100 feet to your wooded site. Wifey says the bathrooms were below average, outdated and very buggy," reports Daniel U. about Punderson, noting both benefits and drawbacks.

Educational opportunities: Seek out parks with nature programs. "We did not have time for pictures to much family time. Large beautiful park with lots of amenities. Boat ramp, disc golf, trails, kayak rentals, archery range and more," shares John R. about recreation options at Punderson.

Structured recreational programs: Several campgrounds offer organized activities. "My daughter loved the free movie nights under stars, running wild with the goats, and the play grounds and play houses kept her busy for hours," explains Hillz M. about The Farm at Grand River, showcasing their structured family activities.

Avoid peak season crowds: For quieter family camping, time visits strategically. "I went the first week of October, and on weekdays, which was great because I had no neighbors," recommends Zachary A. about Punderson for families seeking privacy.

Tips from RVers

Water filtration needs: Some campgrounds have challenging water quality issues. "Super loud campground. The closest area to camp to the National Park. Nice shaded tent sites but you'll have to haul your stuff uphill & then it's not too private," notes Renée C. about Punderson, mentioning both location benefits and privacy limitations.

Reservation timing: Book prime sites months in advance, especially for yurt camping near Middlefield. "We had a great time. The staff was wonderful. The kids loved both the pool and the lake. The breakfast pizza was great. The food prices were very reasonable," shares Stacie J. about Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday, highlighting amenities worth reserving early.

Site selection strategies: Research specific site characteristics before booking. "The park is beautiful. Opportunities for disc golf, archery range, canoeing/kayaking/row boats, swimming (no lifeguard) and golf," observes Rebecca G. about Punderson, mentioning amenities important for activity planning.

Off-season benefits: Consider shoulder season visits for better site availability and fewer neighbors. "This is a good campground for families. We tent camped here. The sites are pretty far apart and you feel secluded but, at the same time, the bathrooms are close by," explains Jenny K. about the advantages of Punderson's layout.
