"Ranger Review: Morsel Spork at West Branch State Park
**Campground Review: **
This state park was very welcome after our first two unlucky Ohio state park experiences."
"Here's what's great about this campground situated at an easy drive from major cities like Columbus and Cleveland...its scenic, a fully loaded campground with bathhouses, parks, hiking paths, swimming"
"This park is one of my favorites in Ohio at this time. Most of the sites are some what private. There are many trails and even a fog park next to the lake."
"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. "
$45 - $55 / night
"Our family really enjoyed staying here, and our kids especially loved swimming and fishing in the lake. In the evening, we bought some firewood from the campground owners for our bonfire."
"The only downside for us is that we're full-time and this is close to "home." We don't really use the amenities, so we can't validate having to pay for anyone to visit us only at our rv."
$25 - $50 / night
"Lots of playgrounds and you can access the lake for swimming and fishing from just about anywhere. The sites are well spaced and feel private, until you get closer to the lake."
"The people next to us parked their boat right behind their site. We even seen a doe and 2 fawn right here at our site!"
"My 2 boys had so much fun at the lake and the playground and the bounce pad ect ect! The owners and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and always around interacting with the guests."
"Very nice lake and inflatables in swim area. Good fishing lake as well. Lake milton is a jump down the road for boating."
$23 - $37 / night
"The Shenango Recreation Area is a large campground with some 300 plus sites located on a lake in western Pennsylvania. Access to the campground is fairly easy and about 12 miles north of I-80."
"Most spaces are shaded and if not on the water, close to the water. We took kayaks - endless places to put into the water including from many sites. Easy 1.5 hour drive from Pittsburgh."
"If you're looking to stay off the grid, I stayed in M62, the woods directly behind me, no cell service."
"Many of my friends from Ohio recommended checking out Nelson Ledges for apparent “cliff jumping” and a music festival."
$12 - $15 / night
"Thankfully Youngstown, Ohio isn't really a vacation destination. Only 5 Sites are full hookup. The rest are water/ electric. It's attached to the Youngstown Regional Airport."
$12 - $40 / night
"It was away from the in RVs but close enough to the bathrooms."
"Needed a place to park for the night driving across country. Please arrive before 7pm (office closes) to get a last minute spot if available always call ahead."
TravelerReally awesome spot. Site was a walk-in site with plenty of room. Fire wood and kindling were at the site waiting for us when we got there. We had a perfect view of the sunset from the site. Sounds from the lake and birds. The site is enough away from the path that you have completely privacy. Really a super cool place to camp.
A couple things… we had two ticks on us relatively soon after getting there but didn’t see any others all night. So be especially careful if you have pets! Also, there was a firefly run that took place in the park starting at 8:45pm. It was a big event with music and tons of people that we could hear from our site…so just check the event schedule before you book if that’s going to bug you!
Would 100% book again!
LegendNo 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.
TravelerSite 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.
In near a slope which leads to the river, which the kids loved but younger kids might find dangerous.
Toilet is by the parking lot. No running water. Dollar general is 3 min away. No road noise unless someone is reving their engine in the parking lot but you will hear trail hikers. Bring your own wood. TONS OF BIRDS you will hear them all day long and see all sorts of different kinds. Really pretty and relaxing scenery overall. Probably best for solo campers.
ScoutThe campground is entirely in a flood zone. It gets so deep the locals cars have floated away. The weather was forecasted to rain for several days. Our camp area ended up in at least 6inches of rushing creek water (we moved when it was ankle deep). The owner relocated us to a concrete slab next to his house so we were safe and dry. We never should have been allowed to set up camp where we were initially. And it was a giant pain to break down camping stuff to relocate. That being said, the owner was nice. And I’m sure in good weather, this is an amazing spot to camp.
TravelerI e been a seasonal camper at Kennisee for 5 years. It’s a great place with a lot of events and entertainment for family’s. Multiple fishing ponds , Friday night bingo , bands , fishing tournament for kids, duck race, Christmas in July and many other activities. Many amenities and very clean bathrooms and showers.
TravelerI stayed here with some friends for one night and I would love to go back. Be prepared - you park near the front of the campgrounds to check in, and then you are provided wagons to carry your gear to your site. It is kind of a fun adventure. We booked last minute and got the site at the very back of the campsite, which happened to be up a hill. It took some work but we got all of our gear up with the wagon. Our site was beautiful and private. We also had a lot of space. We couldn't really see or hear any other campers.
Bathrooms are port-a-johns back near where the car was parked. So it can be a little bit of a hike if you have a far campsite.
If you plan on having a fire, you have to purchase wood from them because you can't bring your own (it's a tree farm). One thing I loved is that they will bring the wood up to your campsite for you. You are able to buy some from them at other times (they have a sign on how to do so at each site) and they will drive it up again.
I felt safe here and would definitely go back, next time for multiple nights.
ScoutThe campsite was spacious, the vibe is peaceful, and everything is well-kept. The staff is friendly, and the amenities are clean, which is always a plus. Definitely coming back!
GuideFirst time at this park I can see why it's always booked up. It seems like the sites are good sized but some are on slopes even the pads so make sure to bring stuff to level. Bathrooms were clean separate showers verizon works well here.
