  Linesville Campground — Pymatuning State Park

  Very nice close to the lake has showers and laundry room

  Linesville camp ground is on the Pennsylvania and Ohio border. There's no shopping malls it's located outside of linesville, the camp ground is not big and it's not small has non electric and electric it also has rv hook up alot of people go here to go fishing since it's located beside a very large lake. There is plenty to see it's also known as pymatuning where the ducks walk on the water if you've never visited this camp ground it's worth the trip unless it rains.

  Thousand Trails Kenisee Lake

  Great spacious park with 2 lakes!

  Kenisee Lake RV Resort Thousand Trails in Jefferson, Ohio is a another great Thousand Trails park! This park is very large and has a park-like setting with 2 lakes. There is fishing on the lakes and the campground has rowboats available to use. They have all the amenities a family could want such as swimming pool, playground, mini-golf, and more! The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Kenisee Lake has 30 and 50 amp FHU back-in and pull-through sites. The only downside is the internet which is lacking in this area. We have really enjoyed our stay here and will be returning! 👍🏻😬

  Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

  Nice Huge CG

  Nice huge CG with mostly long term residents. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. Good FHUs. A lot of amenities for things to do. Laundry facilities were clean with good machines. We would stay here again.

  Woodside Lake Park

  Primarily a Seasonal and Day Use Campground

  This is a really nice family campground and day use area. There are lots of activities centered around the lake and beach area. It has a store and other recreational areas. There is a lot of day use activity around the lake. The majority of RV’s I say were seasonal with full long-term hookups. There were just a few short-term travelers. The area I was camped in was called Lower Meadow, and they had apparently received a lot of rain because they had recently added large stones to define the RV site area. It was not ideal but seemed to work ok. The spacing between sites is not great. I was right next to the maintenance area which included buildings, tractors, lawn mowers and other equipment. A lot of the better campgrounds have those things set apart. There is convenient access to Cuyahoga NP and shopping in Akron for major resupply needs

  Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

  Large sites

  We stayed from Sunday thru Wednesday. We had a nice large full hook site. It was partly shaded but could've used better drainage. Most full hook up sites had wet spots. They are adding more full hook up sites.

  We did not use the facilities so no review there.

  Caskey's Campground

  One of the few places within driving distance of Cuyahoga Valley NP

  There are very few campgrounds near Cuyahoga Valley NP. Caskey's campground in Orrville is about 30 minutes away.  Most of the campsites are occupied by long-term residents - only a few sites are used by people like us staying just a few nights.  We were there for 3 nights.  People were friendly enough.  Sites have water and electric, and there's a dump station.  The bathroom facilities are a little rough but functional.  The road in is really bumpy so take it slow.

  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!

  Punderson State Park Campground

  State park with site for everything from tents to 5th wheel campers

  A variety of sites from primitive to full hook up. Flush toilets and clean showers. The lake is small and limited to electric motors only, but nice for kayaks and SUP. And for those of you looking for a little more comfort check out the lodge for a little less rugged stay.

  Kenisee's Grand River Campground

  Great Spot

  Lots of long term stays which makes this feel more like a community. Gated entry with provided code after payment given. We arrived after dark and had a little trouble finding our spot. Only because it was too easy, lol. We had site 12, which was upfront near the office, showers etc. Great location if your staying more than a few hours. Swimming hole is cool!

  Maple Lakes Campground

  Beautiful surroundings

  This is a beautiful location. Lots of long term campers. Beautiful trees and the fishing lakes had lovely benches. We were just passing through and the staff made an after hours check in simple and effortless. The fact that we could book and reserve our exact spot online also made it great. Sites had a bit of space so that was nice. We would definitely return for vacation.

  West Branch State Park Campground

  Love the Lake!

  This state park has a lot to offer with the highlight being a large 2,650-lake that appeals to fishermen, boaters, and swimmers. The park is over 5,000 acres and not only has camping but hiking, volleyball, fishing, playgrounds, picnicking, hunting, horseback riding, and more.

  The campground is divided into three loops with nearly 200 sites. Campsites include those with full hook-up (50 amp), electric only (50 amp), and some with no electric. This campground is suitable for everything from large RVs to tents. Sites and roads are paved and each site has a picnic table and fire pit. In loops where there is no water directly at the site, water spigots are scattered throughout. The restroom/bathhouses in our loop were really nice, modern, clean, and had laundry facilities which is a real plus at a state park campground. Campsites can be reserved online up to six months in advance. Since we were here in April, the campground was practically empty and getting a site was no problem. But, if you want one of the 29 full hook-up sites in the summer, you better book early.

  We really enjoyed the hiking trails and being able to leave our campsite and be right on the trails. There are approximately 12 miles of hiking trails and an additional 20 miles that are open to horses and snowmobiles. (Be aware that hunting is permitted in certain areas.)

  The park is about 15 miles from Cuyahoga Valley National Park which is a fantastic place to explore with a lot going on for the whole family! If you are interested in football, the National Football Hall of Fame is just down the road in Canton. The town of Hudson has a pretty, historic downtown with a fun old soda fountain.

  We would definitely stay at this campground again. It was a perfect place to stay while visiting family in the nearby town of Hudson. Loved having a paved site with full hook-ups especially since there was a lot of rain while we were there. The lake was perfect for kayaking and had we been able to stay longer we would have spent more time on the water.

  Clean, friendly state park

  This campground has spacious sites and there is primitive and full hook up sites available. Pets are allowed in certain sites. Sites are also available along the lake. Access to lake is a plus for boaters and fishing.

  Sunset Lake Campground

  Friendly and quiet

  My wife and I visited in early May 2023, they were just starting to open things up after drying out. The camp hosts were super friendly about helping get us arranged and everything we needed. Many long-term residents here and they seemed friendly and kept the place looking nice. Many of the sites are grassy and I could see the potential to get stuck if you ended up in heavy rains. Mobile service was decent in most parts of the park although our spot F30 was on the fringe for usable video.

  Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

  It's Easy to Love this Campground

  As newbies to all things RV, we needed a place in Ohio to break in our new travel trailer. Indian Creek is family and pet friendly with all the amenities and even a great lookout spot across the street where you can take in a Lake Erie sunset. We loved the clean bathrooms and appreciated the staff's effort to maintain services while encouraging social distancing. All of their COVID-19 policies were well spelled out online and in signage across the resort so that you knew what to expect. All of the staff wore masks and bathrooms were cleaned often. Some of their usual events and programs were unavailable but they offered craft kits for children to pick up and do at their own campsite in lieu of the usual program. We enjoyed their beautiful put-put course and ice cream stand. They did not allow outside visitors in the resort. The only thing that threw us off was that the bathhouses were closed at night and we didn't know that until we tried to use them. The resort is expanding and adding new sites. They are planting lots of trees (it looked like one at each site) so the resort should become more park-like and less parking lot as they grow. We really liked the back-in sites with water and electric hookups because they were larger and more private and wooded. The fire ring was so easy to cook on that now I'm spoiled! The camp store/gas station was convenient and well stocked with camping supplies. Golf carts are available to rent if you need them to navigate this huge park. We rode our bikes instead. There is a township park just down the road towards Geneva-on-the-Lake proper that we used to spend some leisure and exercise time near the lake. We look forward to visiting this RV resort again in the future!

  Girls Weekend Campground

  Stayed here for a girls weekend in Geneva at one of the tent sites. The tent area was small (this is mostly an RV Park), but it was a good spot to stay! Showers and bathrooms available as well as electric hookups. Located within a matter of minutes to several wineries in the area. Entertainment provided during the summer time. Several lakes for swimming and fishing.

  Punderson State Park Campground

  Punderson State Park Campground....Beautiful location!!!

  We recently spend the weekend at Punderson State Park Campground to visit family.  There is a ton of stuff to do at this park and it is spread out so you do not feel on top of each other.  We stayed at Site 11, this site is on the road with full hook-ups only.  The rest of the part is water and electric.  We enjoyed hiking, biking, kayaking and sharing stories.  There is a beautiful lodge across from the campground that has cabins to rent.  Although we didn't play, there is a 27 hole disc golf course, a regular golf course, archery range and several hiking trails.  This place will be on our list to return.  The only downside was the lake had alot of algae, but this is expected in the heat of summer.

  Geneva State Park Campground

  If you’re in the area, it’s fine.

  It’s definitely not a destination in and of itself, but if you’re into the nearby town (we aren’t) it could be good. Decent beach, some sand but plenty of Great Lakes rocks, campsites are spacious but a little confused. So, they’ve cleared the brush between sites but didn’t grow much grass… either give me the grass or leave some scrub for privacy, what they’ve done is make it shady (good), spacious (good) and dirt (bad).

  Lake Erie is… ok. It’s the warmest Great Lake (good), but also most prone to algae blooms (bad). Check water quality websites, local posting of results is non-existent.

  So, there’s one shower house. It’s all the way in the front, closest to the full hook up sites. Not sure what they’re going for. Also, if you’re not in a full hookup site, you need to fill your water from the one (1) spigot of freshwater at the checkin station. Kinda silly.

  There’s nice trail access here, good beaches and it’s just off the interstate. In the time of covid, you need a reservation which can be done less than 24 hours on their website, but no walk ins. If you’re on the way somewhere like we are, it’s great. If you’re looking for a destination, look harder.

  Equine Camping

  I loved to camp in the Horse camping area but this year they are allowing tent campers to camp there and it is just not safe.  There are multiple tents, sometimes in between horse campers.  There are children running around and since this in the back of the campground with no supervision, the campers are leaving garbage at the sites and in the fire pits. 

  There are two camp hosts in that area and they do the best they can to educate people on horses but most do not understand they were even booked in the horse camp nor do they understand that horses can spook.

  The hosts are trying to clean up after these bad campers and reporting them but there does not seem to be anything they can do. They would never allow this kind of thing to happen in the main campground.

  If the campers are allowed to camp in the horse camp then the horse campers should be allowed in the main camp.  I sure would  like a full hook up with electricity and water for my horse trailer. 

  Whats fair is fair.  Why even designate a section just for Horse campers if you are going to allow primitive campers to camp there. 

  Last year there may have been one or two tents here and there through out the season but this year the tent campers outnumber the horse campers.

  Bay Shore Family Camping

  Great family camping

  One of my family’s favorite places to camp. It’s a smaller campground that reminds me of having a second home by the lake. More of a neighborhood feel. Kids love the sand volleyball court, playground, basketball court and the WiFi. I always felt my kids were safe to roam around there as it is small and private. No one is allowed in unless the are campers or their registered guests. No hiking or biking there but it is next to Pymatuning State Park where there are trails. Bathrooms are immaculate, nice pool, and the have fun themed weekends and entertainment. Mostly all full hook up. Transient sites by the lake are our favorite but stayed across from the playground and in the wooded area by the road and both were great.

  Pymatuning State Park Campground

  Our new fave OH State Park

  A beautiful park! We love being near the water when camping and at Pymatuning most if not all sites have views of the beautiful lake and the Pennsylvania shoreline across the lake. The campground is busy and very popular but the crew is super efficient at checking in campers, answering questions and especially maintaining the grounds. Quite a few of the sites are lakefront and of those a number are full hook up - and the FHU sites in the central section are new within the last two years. Boat ramps are part of the campground and are used by many campers. Some quaint Amish shopping is nearby - but not much in the way of grocery stores as the closest towns on the Ohio and Pennsylvania sides of the border are small and built to support the local communities. We love this park - our new favorite in the Ohio State campground system! P.S. The only slight downside for us is weak T-mobile cell service. Not a big deal but work requires us to stay in touch and work remotely via our hotspot.

  Outstanding site in great campground

  Stayed on a premium patio site and loved it. The campground and staff were awesome. Level site, great hook ups, awesome WiFi and cable. Clean facilities, 3 lakes (one with a fishing pier), 2 dog parks, and super friendly staff. 30 min to Cleveland. Walmart, gas stations and restaurants within 5 miles. Just off Ohio Turnpike, but can't hear it. Definitely recommend this KOA

  Silver Springs Campground

  Convenient to Cuyahoga NP

  Gave it an extra star for proximity to Cuyahoga Valley NP, bargain price for a site with electric hookups, quiet setting and helpful hosts. No road noise, other campers very considerate. Sites are grass or overgrown gravel. Semi-level. Site #1 was very difficult to level a 24 ft trailer and full sun. Site #4 was much better and full shade. There is also a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground.

  Punderson State Park Campground

  Camping on the Hills

  The park is very nice. Great Lodge. Nice lakes and cabins to rent. The camp grounds for RV's is not the best. Very few full hookups. Rest of the sites only have 15-20 amp service. The lots are not even close the 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. If they leveled the lots and added water and at least 30 amp electric it would help a lot.
