What to do
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds provide stocked fishing ponds and lake access. At Clay's Resort Jellystone Park, campers report mixed fishing success. "I tried fishing in the fishing lake and came up empty. At first I thought this was a 'me' problem, but I did not witness anyone catch a fish. I saw one person catch a turtle," notes one visitor.
Hiking trails: The region offers wooded paths ranging from short nature walks to more extensive trail systems. Mohican State Park Campground features multiple trail options with varying terrain. "Beautiful campground with roomy camp sites... and many activities in the area. Hiking, canoeing, biking, etc.," reports a camper.
Water recreation: Several campgrounds offer designated swimming areas during summer months. West Branch State Park Campground provides lake access for boating and swimming. One visitor explains: "We're at site 160. No electricity, no hook ups, but a HUGE lakefront site... Beach is right next door too! Great trails, clean facilities, no complaints."
What campers like
Spacious campsites: Many campgrounds in the Seville area feature larger-than-average sites with good separation. At Countryside Campground, "The 9 tent sites are very large and spacious. It is mostly an established RV Park. The community was very kind. Showers were clean and spacious."
Clean facilities: Consistent maintenance standards are noted across multiple camping areas. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, visitors appreciate the upkeep: "Beautiful, and I mean beautiful park... No mud puddles, not even at water hook up. Dog run is fabulous. Beautiful walking trail. Club house and pool are immaculate, including public restrooms and showers."
Varied accommodation options: From primitive sites to luxury options, the region offers flexibility for different preferences. One visitor to the Rivers Edge Camping Area writes: "The camp site is a short walk and was very nice. The porta potty was very big, clean and had hand sanitizer! In the morning there were many runners in the park but they stayed away from the camping area."
What you should know
Campsite levelness varies: Some locations feature challenging sloped sites requiring significant adjustment. A camper at West Branch State Park notes: "Our site was labeled slight slope. That was a joke. We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches. The jack was down as low as it would go and we were still off by 1.5 inches."
Reservation requirements: Peak season demand at glamping locations close to Seville, Ohio necessitates planning months ahead. West Branch campers advise: "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!"
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the area operate with reduced services during winter. Mohican State Park offers limited winter camping where "One heated bathroom with a shower is open in the winter. Absolutely beautiful & great trails. There is nice several mile through trail that goes from the dam area following the river."
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Several campgrounds offer swimming pools with family-friendly features. At Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA, "The pool was so nice it wasn't too crowded and the view over looking the 'lake' was so pretty. My only complaint is they could have used more restrooms and showers but everyone was very courteous and was quick about it."
Wildlife encounters: Be prepared for local wildlife interactions, particularly after dark. One KOA camper reports: "Every night we were visited by raccoons, they stole our trash on the first night but the other nights we kept everything out of their reach. There were fun little raccoon hand prints all over though."
Budget considerations: Luxury glamping near Seville comes with corresponding price points. Campgrounds like Clay's Resort Jellystone Park can be "Way overpriced(like $540 FOR 4 NIGHTS) but we figured we'de try it." Consider value options for more affordable family stays.
Tips from RVers
Hookup variations: Check specific site amenities when booking as services vary widely between locations. At Countryside Campground, "We spent a long weekend in a pull thru site. Each site comes with a fire ring and picnic table both in good condition. The pull thru sites were a tad small but nice and long."
Water fill stations: Consider water tank management if camping at locations with limited hookups. West Branch State Park visitors note: "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. This was okay for a short weekend but not good planning from who ever designed the park."
Site navigation: Arrival timing can affect ease of setup at busier locations. At Countryside Campground, campers advise: "Get there early or you'll have many vehicles and campers to watch for as you back in!"
