RV parks near Perrysburg, Ohio range from state-operated facilities to private resorts within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at approximately 600 feet above sea level with a humid continental climate featuring warm summers and cold winters. Most camping areas remain accessible from April through October, though several offer extended seasons for late-fall camping.
What to do
Hiking trails: Oak Openings Metropark offers extensive trail systems for day hiking near Perrysburg. "The yellow scout trail which connects with the NCT is off the meadow with the group sites, or you can ride your bikes down the paved road to mallard lake where most of the parks trailheads and multi use trail access lies. Oak openings has everything from pine tree forests to sand dunes," notes a camper at White Oak Campground.
Fishing spots: Multiple campgrounds feature fishing opportunities within walking distance. "Very welcoming campground with many seasonal RVs. Everyone was friendly throughout the stay. Multiple fishing spots for young and old," writes a visitor to Arrowhead Lake RV Park & Campground.
Go-karts and recreation: Family entertainment options exist minutes from some RV parks. "This campground has everything! Go carts, playground, disc golf, pool, ext... Just a one night stay to visit a friend. If you have kids it is perfect! Staff was nice and very helpful," reports a guest at Harbortown RV Resort.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities rank high on camper priorities. "Very clean, nice sites with a friendly staff. We have a 21' camper and the sites feel small... Great staff, delivered wood that you have to purchase here," mentions a reviewer at Harbortown RV Resort.
Free amenities: Some area parks provide unexpected complimentary services. "The sites are inexpensive and come with free firewood, the restroom is cleaned regularly and maintained well, and it is relatively peaceful overall," writes a camper at White Oak Campground.
Easy access: Location convenience factors heavily in positive reviews. "Great place to stay!! Everything is black topped. Sites are very long, water hydrants are boxed in with stone. So, if it drips a little it won't get muddy. Sewer hook up is flush to the ground with a manhole cover over it," describes a visitor at Military Park Camp Perry Lodging and RV Park.
What you should know
Site flooding: Heavy rainfall can impact camping conditions. "After only a few hours of moderate rainfall, we arrived to a completely flooded park. Got my site number, and an employee guided us to the site. It was completely underwater," cautions a reviewer at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA.
Noise considerations: Proximity to transportation corridors affects some camping experiences. "It falls short of 5 stars as there was still a bit of road noise from the state highway a couple hundred yards away, as well as the large airplane taking off early in the morning at the nearby Toledo airport which woke us," notes a camper at White Oak Campground.
Cash-only policies: Some RV parks Perrysburg area visitors use have limited payment options. "They accept connectors you can use for a $25 deposit and then get your money back when you return the cord. They accept check and cash, no credit cards," points out a camper at Fort Firelands RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Swimming options make summer camping more enjoyable for children. "Sites are large for the weekend campers. The seasonal ones all have back in and the weekends are pull through which is kinda nice. They have two ponds, one for fishing and one for swimming. The swimming one has a dock kids jump off but it only goes to about 3.5-4 feet deep at the deepest point," describes a visitor at Arrowhead Lake RV Park & Campground.
Playground access: Child-friendly amenities vary between parks. "This campground has a little bit of everything. Rv parking, tent sites and several cabins to rent. Rates are decent. Has lots of stuff for kids to do. Pools are small and can be a little crowded during the summer on weekends. They have a great splash pad and wading pool for kids," notes a reviewer at Cedarlane RV Resort.
Special events: Seasonal activities enhance family camping experiences. "We've been here a few times. Very close to our house just a nice little getaway. We enjoyed the Halloween weekends. We decorate big and enjoyed other decorations as well!" shares a camper at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Prepare for varying site conditions when selecting RV parks. "This was an overnight stay on our way to Pennsylvania. It would be a bonus for big rigs as the pull Throughs are flat and easy to get into. We tend to prefer a back in because it usually gives us a bit more protection on the backside. Unfortunately, the site we were assigned took three blocks to level up," advises an RVer at Gotta Getaway RV Park.
Electrical connections: Different amperage options exist between parks. "RV site is paved with electric hookup and water hook up on site. Waste dump on RV site as well. Very clean and maintained," notes a visitor at Military Park Camp Perry Lodging and RV Park.
Overnight options: Service plaza RV lots provide convenient stopovers for travelers through the Perrysburg region. "Simplicity at its finest. FYI - you need cash to pay for the electric at a machine and then you get a ticket to display in the dash. The machine didn't take cards," advises a camper at Blue Heron Ohio Turnpike RV Lot.
