ScoutStayed here to be close to the NP and it is a great little campground for a reasonable price. Big dog park with pond on the other side of the park. Sites are uneven but my favorite part was the wooded path.
GuideRight nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site!
LegendWe were in the area exploring Cuyahoga Nat Park and found Silver Springs. It was 18$ for a site with electric hook ups (15$ if you are a Stow resident) No option for no paying less for no hook-up camping. Water close by and port a pottie style bathrooms close to the camp sites. There are flush toilets a walk away but we didn’t use them. Sites are big and grassy but not super level. Wasn’t a big issue for us but could be for a bigger camper. The campground was calm and quiet. Lots of trails close by. Dog park down the street as well as a play ground and fishing pond! We had a great few days staying here and will be back if we are even passing thru Stow again.
LegendWe really loved this little spot! It appealed to all of what we were looking for, our camp host was awesome. There was even a dog park within walking distance- a lot of trails to explore too. No showers and the Porto potties weren't the cleanest... But they were functional. Very hospitable locals- we were invited to a square dancing party that evening in the park! Very comfy and safe.
ScoutThe bathrooms are portojons and there are no showers, however there is THE best dog park I have ever seen in this area. So my dogs loved this campground more than me and that was worth it. It was dark enough to see a space station cross the sky at night. The camping spaces are rather close, but so many people want to camp there, because of its proximity to everything amazing.
TravelerNice park with very friendly staff. My only complaint is the sites are way too crowded. Also a little uneven. I love that this park is close to Lake Wilhelm & Goddard State Park for fishing and bike riding. 2 pools and a dog park.
Travelerbest barhrooms around! showers great. bathrooms great. lots of “lakefront” spots. dog park is pretty great, too! good spot to camp for cayahoga falls national park.

Fishing opportunities: Several lakes offer catch-and-release fishing with no license required at some locations.

All catch and release," reports one visitor to Kool Lakes Family Campground.
Lake activities: Geneva State Park provides access to Lake Erie with multiple water-based activities. "Sandy beachside state park makes it feel like the ocean. Archery range on site. The cabins have the best water views," reports Justin S. about Geneva State Park Campground.
Unique tent sites: Some campgrounds feature elevated or secluded tent camping areas. "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," shares Zachary A. about his solo experience at Punderson State Park.

Bathroom facilities vary: Some campgrounds have limited facilities. "Vaulted toilets which were very clean and we could also use what seemed to normally be the bathrooms affiliated with sporting fields which have hot water and flush toilets," reports Lauren about Silver Springs Campground.
Tent site locations: Many campgrounds have both drive-up and walk-in sites. "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," writes Renée C. about her experience at Punderson.
Seasonal differences: Campground amenities change throughout the year. "Site is about a quarter mile from the parking lot so pack light, bring a wagon, and/or be ready for a work out. Tent pad is raised so even though it rained and the water streamed through the middle of camp, tent was fine," notes a camper at The West Woods.

My daughter loved the free movie nights under stars, running wild with the goats, and the play houses kept her busy for hours," describes a visitor to The Farm at Grand River.
Spacious family sites: Look for campgrounds with room for children to play. "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," reports Jenny K. from Geneva State Park.
