Best Tent Camping near Orrville, OH

Friendly staff.  Definitely insanely overpriced for low-impact tent-campers.  (They charge based on the assumption you'll be using their electric and water hook-ups at tent sites, for example.  For the record, I consider $25 to pitch a tent, have a campfire you fund, and get a hot shower they fund to be absurd.)

Bathroom facilities are poor and not well-maintained, but count as (barely) serviceable.  Make sure to bring sandals so as not to step in the animal shit that covers the floors of the restrooms.  Large campground.  Could be worth it for tent campers if you plan to make use of other amenities they offer, such as their swimming pond with diving board.

Would I go again?  Maybe, maybe not.  Probably not, but your mileage may vary.  Their primary audience is clearly the RV crowd.  Every single one of their tent sites has water and electric hookups, and no serious tent campers (car campers, glampers) want or need that, but are expected to pay for it anyway.

If you're going to this place, you're probably in the RV crowd.  Look for reviews from those folks.  For mostly primitive tent camping (i.e, a place to pitch a tent plus a hot shower), I rate this place as a C+.  This rating is based almost entirely on value (D) and quality of the bathroom/shower amenities (C).  The well-maintained land and the additional amenities many will not care for give it a boost to the C+ range.

As far as tent camping goes, it does not get any easier than this. Everything is clean and well organized. Perfect for first time campers

i pulled in around 6:30 looking for a tent site for one night mid week, there was no one else staying at the campground.

they only have tent sites- I was looking for a spot that allowed a close car- i did not want to hike my gear. I was given a leantoto with close car access-

amazing views & abundant wild life

quiet.

no drinking water on site- but there is wash up water & very clean porta potties

I would stay there again

We tent camped. Loved the place. Loved the kayak launch. Some of the sites are super close together. We took a look around and got an idea of where we went to stay next time.

We tent camped at one of the primitive riverfront sites.  Site 810 in the Narrows.  Our site was a little muddy and a little smaller than other sites but overall we were very happy with the campground and would camp there again!

Clean campground, lots to do! Dog friendly! Lake Accessible. We stayed a few nights on Tent site 4 and had a blast! Stop at Duma Meats to grill something delicious!

I have tent camped, rented a cabin, and taken my RV there. It is nice by the creek and lots of trails nearby to hike. The pool is nice in the summer and the people working at check in and at the camp store are so nice.

Findley State Park is a huge campground with both RV and tent sites. Paved roads. Shower facilities. Grey and black water dump sites. Laundry ($1.50 for wash or dry). Near a lake, trails. The sites off each camp loop offer the most privacy.

The campground has plenty of great sites to choose from, in two different sections. Whether you want to rent a cabin, have a trailer/RV or basic tent camping, you will be all set. There shower facilities, bathrooms, pool and camp store are awesome. Such a great place to stay! Really look forward to going back!

Beautiful location along a river. All the permanent sites are down by the river. Weekend sites are up front and aren't as nice. Most if not all are grass sites. Only water and electricity, no sewer, even for permanent campers. Has nice facilities, especially the pool and golf area. Also was a little hilly. Would suggest tent camping if coming for the weekend.

We stayed at this charming KOA for the weekend as we wanted to hike in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The staff was friendly, the amenities were clean, and the campground was quite serene. Despite some loud campers on a nearby tent site, we loved this campground and would definitely go back!

We decided to spend a weekend there frankly due to convenience. I did think it was a little expensive when we booked, but we booked anyway. We then decided to book a primitive tent site with no power for my father-in-law. Over $80 for two nights! To make matters worse, he got there around 12:30 in the afternoon and they charged him $15 for early check in. It was a tent site, in a field, with no power. Bags of ice we $4. The bundles of wood were priced competitively to other campgrounds, but the wood was terrible. We bought 5 bundles, the wood was wet and rotted! I will say the kids jumping area and playground was really nice. The swimming lake was pretty gross. Lots of algae and lots of mud. The couple bright spots were really friendly and helpful staff and the restroom/shower facilities were really clean. Not sure if we will go back.

Ashland fairgrounds has $20 tent sites or $35 full hookups. You may need an extension cord. All back in sites. Bathrooms are open and close by. No showers. Very clean and quiet. There were 4 others staying here. All were nice. If you arrive after hours grab an envelope and drop payment in an envelope. If you stay in the grass parking lot while no other events are going on you can stay for free.
