Best Cabin Camping near Rock Creek, OH

273 Reviews

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Rock Creek, Ohio provide cabin rentals with varying amenities. West Branch State Park Campground offers year-round cabin accommodations with electricity and heating systems, making them suitable for all seasons. Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday features furnished cabins with private bathrooms and showers, while Pymatuning State Park's Linesville and Jamestown campgrounds provide more rustic cabin options. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and chairs. "The Park Model Cabin was sort of a half trailer with a full bathroom and full kitchen. The bed was the only detractor of our trip, as it was mostly springs," noted one visitor to a nearby resort. Shared bathroom facilities are typically located near cabin areas in state parks, while private campgrounds often feature cabins with dedicated bathrooms.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available throughout the region, with prices varying by amenity level and season. KOA cabins tend to be more expensive but offer greater comfort with features like air conditioning, refrigerators, and microwave ovens. "Last August rented Cabin. It was beautiful and very clean. The owners were great and very helpful. Cabins are a little high in price," reported one KOA visitor. Pet policies differ significantly between locations, with some state park cabins prohibiting pets while private resorts like Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake welcome them. Headwaters Park features unique open lean-to structures with stone fireplaces that provide a more primitive cabin experience. Reservations are essential during summer months, with many locations booking up to six months in advance, especially for waterfront cabins.

Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and cooking utensils. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with cooking grates to fully equipped kitchens with stoves and refrigerators in deluxe units. Basic supplies like firewood can typically be purchased at campground stores, though quality varies. Mosquito Lake State Park and West Branch State Park have well-stocked camp stores for essential items. Grocery stores are located within 3-5 miles of most cabin locations, making it convenient to stock up on food and supplies. Visitors staying in more rustic forest cabins should plan to bring additional lighting, as electricity may be limited or unavailable. Cabin campers should also check whether their rental includes cooking equipment, as this varies widely between locations.

    Goddard Park Vacationland Campground

    Unhappy camper - again

    I told my wife that this was the rotten place that we stayed at before. She insisted that was somewhere else but there we were, all the people complaining about the nasty manager lady as we are swimming by AND the creepy, chubby manager dude with the grey goatee, ogling the little girls a little too long. Why are those people still there?? All she does is sit outside the office and smoke cigarettes and he creeps around. Everyone hates them and will smile to their faces but they're horrible!

    Pros: paved roads, mostly clean bathrooms and two swimming pools. Cons: Teeny, tiny sites. Bingo hall bathrooms are gross. Awful, rotten egg smelling water. The beds in the cabin rentals are rock hard. Horrible WiFi. Good luck if you’re there and the electric cuts out. Very few activities (which you will also hear about"there used to be so many activities" "Lisa never has any activities any more") Good grief, the people are unhappy but I guess, too cheap to move on to a better place? The entire staff complains about them constantly, especially Rhonda in the office. I just came in to buy ice, lady, I don't need to hear about much you hate your boss!

    I would suggest you keep looking rather than tolerate this toxic place and all the unhappy seasonal people and employees. Save your money and vacation time for a nice place with decent management.

    West Branch State Park Campground

    Well kept campground with access to beach and dock

    Each campsite in on a leveled cement pad and comes with a fire ring a picnic table. There is plenty of room around your site and you don't feel crowded. Most sites offer nice tree coverage for shade. The restrooms and showers are very clean and well taken care of. There is also a laundry facility and sink outside each one for washing dishes and water fountains throughout the park. There is a nice beachfront for swimming and then a dock that be reached from outside the park. A beautiful lake for kayaking or boating. The store has most camping needs in it and once a week they host an ice cream social. Has a very nice playground and a sand volleyball court. There are some hiking trails, but nothing extensive.

    Roundup Lake RV Resort

    Great Lively Place with lots of Amenities

    Starting off, everyone from the employees to the other campers were super friendly! My boyfriend and I rented The Park Model Cabin which was sort of a half trailer with a full bathroom and full kitchen. The bed was the only detractor of our trip, as it was mostly springs. We brought our air mattress in for the second night and slept much better. The themed weekends throughout the season are fun and festive and there are a lot of activities to do and participate!

    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!

    West Branch State Park Campground

    Wooded Waterside Sites

    Make reservations! (6 months in advance).  Waterside sites fill up quickly! Check in is very easy as you pass the camp store on your way in. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table.  West Branch has private, spacious, shady sites. We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite. The shower house and bathrooms are large and clean. There is even a book exchange shelf at the shower house in case of rainy days. The park office loans games and sports equipment to campers. Washers and dryers are also at the shower house. There is an outside sink to wash up dishes. Bring your boat or kayak. There are many inlets to explore or fish. There is a small beach at the campground but a larger one on the other side of the lake. There is a boat launch at the campground.  There are playgrounds for the children. An ice cream social is held on Saturday evenings that my children always love to attend. There is a newer dog park near the intersection of Rock Spring  and Esworthy roads. There are many scenic hiking trails at West Branch. Bridal trails are located on Esworthy Rd. West Branch is our favorite campground and we make sure to visit every year.

    Jamestown Campground — Pymatuning State Park

    great spot for direct kayak/canoe put in.

    We stayed in site 218. this spot is in the smaller ( less crowded) part of Jamestown campground in Pymatuning SP. it is right on the water and has an easy access area for shore fishing and entering a kayak or canoe or some other water device. the site sits on a little bay and the otherside (more crowded) of the campground is across the water. the water is a little murky/ grassy but still good entry area. the campsite was spacious for a pa state park. the site is between the lake and the road. sites 212-222 look to be on the water with boat access, but 218 has the easiest entry. 220’s picnic Bench and fire pit sit next to the water with great views, but there is little shade. 218 had a great shady spot were you can hang 3 hammocks. there is no electricity at these sites and pretty much tent only. lots of tent space. the fire ring was decent but we moved it as it was right underneath a burnt tree. 218 was ADA accessible with a nice picnic table. restrooms were fairly close. clean... outdated, but clean.

    Jamestown Campground — Pymatuning State Park

    Another trip to Jamestown Campground

    My family has visited Pymatuning park many times now and try have used a variety of spots at Jamestown campground. It is large, offering multiple options for campsite types. It’s a standard PA state park campground offering bathrooms (bathrooms are older, but are being renovated July-August 2021) showers, fire ring, picnic table, etc. Campsites J-106 thru J-116 are well shaded, but are alongside route 322 which maintains consistent traffic at all hours. If the noise is not an issue, this run of tent sites are well spaced, and offer easy access to the facilities. To be away from the road (and nearer to the lake) sites J-120 thru J-128 are closer together but can be quieter (depending on your neighbors…)

    The beach area is clean, and raked often. It has a playground and volleyball court. On Friday’s they have a family movie night at the amphitheater. Most Saturdays in the summer they offer crafts and activities for kids at the beach.

    The surrounding area also has plenty of activities to offer: Local restaurants, ice cream, hiking, kayaking/boating, fishing, etc.

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Great State Park Campground

    We just got back from our first trip to Mosquito Lake State Park Campground. All in all, it was a great experience. 

    We stayed in site 67, which is a waterfront site, with electric. The water is about 25 yards from the pad, but is visible from the entire site. The site was spacious, but not as private as some of the others. There is some woods between this site and the sites on either side, but other sites are visible. The fire pits and picnic tables were staggered, so it created some distance to make it feel more private. 

    The campground as a whole, was very quiet. We stayed from Wednesday to Friday. 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. 

    Most sites seemed pretty level from side to side, but where we were, several had a slope from front to back. Away from the waterfront, most sites looked pretty level. The amount of space between sites varied from site to site. Some sites had woods on both sides, while others were pretty open. Some had nice large grassy areas, others were much smaller. Sites from 214-224 are in a cul de sac and are water front, but they were pretty close together with very little privacy between sites, if any. They are very close to the water though. 

    There are bathrooms and water scatter about, but from what I saw there was only 1 shower house. 

    Wal-mart and other shopping and restaurants were about 3 miles away. Park was easy to get to, only one turn for us off the highway. Lake was great for kayaking and paddleboarding. Very nice dog park in a different part of the park. There is a boat launch accessible from inside the campground. 

    Dump station has 2 lanes which was nice when checking out. Fresh water fill up was also located near the dump station.

Guide to Rock Creek

Cabin camping near Rock Creek, Ohio offers access to the Grand River Valley watershed with shorelines along two significant reservoirs - Mosquito Lake and Pymatuning Lake. Most cabin sites in this northeastern Ohio region sit between 850-1000 feet elevation, providing moderate temperatures with summer averages of 75-85°F. Winter cabin camping requires preparation as temperatures regularly drop below freezing from December through February.

What to do

Water activities on Mosquito Lake: At Mosquito Lake State Park Campground, visitors find numerous water recreation options. "Lots of camping sites along the lake. Concert every Saturday during the summer. Great lake to take the kayaks on," notes Linda R. The park offers kayaking, boating, and fishing opportunities throughout the warmer months.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple inlets around West Branch State Park provide excellent fishing spots accessible directly from lakeside campsites. "We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite. There are many inlets to explore or fish," explains Alisa G. Fishing for bass, crappie, and catfish is popular at most area lakes.

Winter activities: While many campgrounds operate seasonally, West Branch State Park Campground maintains year-round cabin availability. Winter visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing when conditions permit. Heated cabins provide comfortable base camps for cold-weather outdoor adventures.

Horseback riding: Several parks offer equestrian trails for visitors bringing horses or seeking guided rides. "Best for relaxation, chill kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, and shorter walks," notes Rebecca G. about Headwaters Park. Most riding trails require advance coordination and sometimes permits.

What campers like

Spacious waterfront sites: Jamestown Campground — Pymatuning State Park features cabins with lake views and ample outdoor space. "Our site had a great view of the sunsets and the water!" reports Kevin E. These waterfront cabins typically book 4-6 months in advance during peak summer season.

Clean facilities: The maintenance standards at regional cabin locations receive consistent positive feedback. "Great park! Sites are spacious and level. Very clean park," states Heidi B. The bathroom facilities at West Branch State Park are particularly noteworthy with private shower stalls and regular cleaning schedules.

Unique architectural options: Beyond standard cabins, some locations offer distinctive structures. "Site G is an open lean to with a stone fireplace facing the inside of the three sided wooden structure," describes Rebecca G. about Headwaters Park. These alternative accommodations provide rustic shelter while maintaining connection to the outdoors.

Private dog facilities: Pet-friendly cabins are increasingly available throughout the region. "The dog park is amazing. Theres so much to do here," writes Courtney C. about Mosquito Lake State Park. Designated dog exercise areas allow pets to run freely while keeping cabin areas clean.

What you should know

Reservation timing matters: During peak seasons (May-September), cabins at popular locations like Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday book quickly. "We stayed here with other family members and had a great time," notes Richard T. Reservations should be made 3-6 months in advance for weekend stays during summer.

Cabin amenities vary significantly: Facilities range from basic shelters to full-service accommodations. "Nice mini golf and good ice cream. Camp store was fully stocked and had the only gas in town," reports Fred R. about Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake. Always check exactly what amenities and utilities come with your specific cabin.

Seasonal closures affect availability: Most cabin locations operate on limited schedules. Kenisee's Grand River Campground runs "May 1 to October 15" according to their listing information. Off-season camping options become limited after mid-October, with only a few parks maintaining winter operations.

Site leveling considerations: Some cabins sit on uneven terrain requiring advance planning. "We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches," explains Andrea F. about a West Branch site. Requesting specific information about site grading helps prevent setup difficulties.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake provides extensive children's activities. "Slightly overpriced but lots of activities, super clean bathrooms, two pools, fishing pond, put-put golf, restaurant, store," describes Mitchell S. The resort offers supervised programs during summer weekends.

Beach access for swimming: Several parks maintain designated swimming areas near cabin locations. "Great park! Camp is near beach & marina. Also many shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive," reports Heidi B. Most swimming beaches operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day with some offering lifeguards on weekends.

Playground facilities: Multiple cabin locations include play structures for children. "If your kids are 8 and under they'll love the nature playground and nets provided to catch critters," notes Joe F. These nature-based play areas complement traditional playground equipment at many parks.

Family programming: Scheduled activities enhance family stays during peak season. "An ice cream social is held on Saturday evenings that my children always love to attend," shares Alisa G. about West Branch State Park. Activity calendars are typically available at park offices or online.

Tips from RVers

Utility considerations: For cabins with limited utilities, learning from RVers helps with planning. "The water fill is on an incline so when our tank was 'full' pulling away from fill station it was really only 2/3 full," warns Andrea F. about West Branch State Park. Similar challenges apply when managing water for cabin stays without full hookups.

Grocery proximity: Most cabin locations sit within reasonable distance of supplies. "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," explains Heidi B. about Mosquito Lake State Park.

Storage solutions: Limited space in standard cabins requires efficient organization. Experienced RVers suggest bringing collapsible storage containers and utilizing outdoor space under awnings. Mosquito Lake cabins in particular benefit from careful storage planning due to their compact design.
