      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

      Great for the price and location

      Stayed 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.

      Nice campground near Cuyahoga

      We 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.

      Lots of options!

      We 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.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Great parking

      The 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.

    Fishing at multiple lakes: American Wilderness Campground offers three ponds for catch-and-release fishing that campers frequently mention in reviews. "We love the fishing available here we also had the kids they enjoyed the arcade and gem mining," shares Jessica J. about her American Wilderness Campground experience.

    Hiking the extensive trails: Findley State Park provides numerous marked trails through wooded areas where campers can explore nature. "Findley state park is well maintained large park! We can easily get lost on 3 mile hikes in the woods and still be on marked paths!" notes Kimberly C. about her experience at Findley State Park Campground.

    Swimming in designated areas: Many campgrounds offer swimming options during summer months. "The pool was so nice it wasn't too crowded and the view over looking the 'lake' was so pretty," reports Traci F. about her stay at Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA.

    What campers like

    Clean, accessible facilities: Campgrounds maintain their facilities regularly. "American Wilderness Campground is nice and clean and laid out good we had a good time with our family! The beach was clean and nice," reports Jacob B. about his stay at American Wilderness Campground.

    Family-oriented activities: Willow Lake Park Inc offers various scheduled events throughout the camping season. "Stay here for the holiday weekend, they offer plenty of activities for everyone. Had a band each night! Bad Juju was definitely a favorite of mine," shares ivory L. about the entertainment options.

    Proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park: Heritage Farms provides easy access to park attractions.

    What you should know

    Site conditions vary by season: Some campgrounds experience drainage issues during wet periods. "Silver Springs Campground's sites vary in levelness and shade coverage, with some campers reporting muddy conditions during wet seasons," reports a recent visitor to Silver Springs Campground.

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. "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," advises Jeffrey L. about Findley State Park.

    Facilities differ between campgrounds: Not all locations offer full amenities. "I was going to leave a bad review, but that's not really fair. I'm sure this place is pretty great on the weekends and we weren't here for a long time, just here for a good time," explains Derek N. about Willow Lake Park, noting that "The showers were kind of gross, but not the worst."

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for campgrounds with kid-specific amenities: American Wilderness Campground offers activities designed for children. "We loved the vibe here and the campground is nice and quiet and the clean restrooms and shower house was a plus we had a good time taking the kids to the arcade," reports Luis G.

    Consider tent sites near playgrounds: Findley State Park Campground offers playground access for families. "Clean, scenic and relaxing. Loved this campground, lots of trails to walk and mt. bike trails to ride," shares Crystal A., adding that "playground and camp store/nature center isn't too far away to walk but biking would be best."

    Plan for variable weather conditions: Ohio weather can change quickly, especially in spring and fall. "We ran into some unfortunate weather so didn't get the full experience. But... This is a very cute, unique spot that I'd love to try again sometime," notes Danielle C. about Heritage Farms.

    Tips from RVers

    Overnight options for travelers: For those needing a quick stop while traveling through the region, service plazas offer basic amenities. "Clean with electric hookup got $20. Dump station as you exit. Gas and convenience items are extra helpful. Safe environment to snooze overnight," shares Susan B. about her experience at Vermilion Valley Ohio Turnpike RV Lot.

    Site selection matters: Choose sites based on specific needs like shade or level ground. "Sites are RV and tent sites. They offer coupons for return campers. The suppounding area is nice and the owners are welcoming. Very clean," notes Katelyn P. about Silver Springs Campground.

    Access to pet-friendly camping near Olmsted Falls: Most campgrounds welcome pets but have specific rules. "We chose this campground based on its proximity to Brandywine Falls, Cuyahoga falls and Chagrin falls. Very clean and well maintained," reports Heidi C. about Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA, which offers pet-friendly camping options.
