Quiet and Restful
We arrived in the evening after reserving our spot earlier. We selected a non-electric site that as near the entrance and despite a surprising number of campers on a Wednesday, it was quiet and peaceful.
Very well maintained and a visible presence of security and maintenance personnel who were friendly and helpful.
A very nice way to start our car camping trip.

Woodside Lake Park
Convenient and lots of choices
We stayed in the fall for one night to visit Cuyahoga Valley Park (about 25 minutes away, as is a Costco). Many choices for short term sites. From the many permanent RVs and water slides in the pond, looks like it could be less quiet other times of year and a fun place for kids (we weren’t traveling with any). Staff nice and helpful but showers were old and dirty, probably in part to the high iron in the water (we didn’t hook up water).

Roundup Lake RV Resort
Sites close together
We didn’t engage in the many things to do. We are using it as a base camp to go to a Guardians game, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
On the weekend when it was pretty full, it was tight quarters and this you can hear lots of people. We kinda gave up having a quiet night and went inside the camper. Now it is not the weekend and very few people around. Seasonal are all together, transients grouped together. Did get Hershey’s ice cream at their arcade. - AAntoinette S.Scout
East Harbor State Park Campground
Beautiful quiet park
Although it was a full house it was pretty peaceful and quiet at night. The beaches and picnic areas down by the water are great! Saturdays are busy.

Clean, adequate state park
We came when there had been a lot of rain, the original site we had reserved had a lot of standing water and mud and a big drop off the paved area, so we asked if we could switch. For a $6 change fee we were able to move. They do have some full hookup sites, but those are hard to come by. It is a huge campgeound and the sites are all very close to one another. The bathrooms were clean, I didn't use the showers, but they looked clean. They had a small, simple laundry facility that worked as needed. The hiking in the park wasn't too exciting. There is a disk golf course wr checked out, but it was pretty rainy off and on during our stay so we didn't play. Biking within the Park was good, with some well laid out paths. Overall nothing too exciting, but very adequate for what we needed to explore a little of what Lake Erie has to offer.

Bed bug infested! Poorly managed. This place has gone down hill!
We had to leave in the middle of the night due to a bed bug infestation. We let staff know we were putting our belongings out side and would come back in the morning. When we came back in the morning the owner would not issue a refund and instead insulted us. The whole situation was so unbelievably weird. I wish I would've read through all the reviews before booking. This seems to be an ongoing issue with them and the owner couldnt be less bothered. People like him are the reason Ohio bed bug issue will remain a problem! What we thought was going to be relaxed getaway turned out to be a very expensive nightmare. The craziest part of it all is this happend Friday evening/ Saturday morning and as of Monday he is already trying to rent that same cabin out to another family on camping sites. Don't go to Camp Sandusky. Its not worth it. I hope this helps someone!

South Bass Island State Park Campground
Well run state park
Some sites have full hookup. Some have just electric. Some are for tents only. Several bath houses that are dated but surprisingly clean. There are not trash receptacles everywhere but rather one area with several dumpsters. Sites are blacktop paved with various degrees of levelness. The whole campground is shaded so can get muddy after rain and smokey from campfires. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Park staff are helpful and camp hosts do a great job. All in all a good for a state park.

What to do
Fishing opportunities: American Wilderness Campground features fishing areas with stocked lakes. "We love the fishing available here we also had the kids they enjoyed the arcade and gem mining we also liked the access to self serve laundry and camp store as well," notes Jessica J. about her experience at American Wilderness Campground.
Lake activities: South Bass Island State Park provides waterfront access with kayak rentals. The park occupies the former Victory Hotel grounds with unique historical significance. "This small park is laid out on the grounds of the former Victory Hotel, in it's heyday the largest wooden structure in the US," explains Blythe J. at South Bass Island State Park Campground.
Hiking trails: Findley State Park offers extensive trail networks through wooded areas. "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! The roads are paved and excellent for biking and skating," reports Kimberly C. after visiting the park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Timber Ridge stands out for its well-maintained shower houses and bathrooms. "We stayed at Timber Ridge for a month and found this to be a very nice campground. Stores are very level, full hookups, fishing pond, amazing indoor swimming pool. Staff was extremely nice," according to The Wandering Shores.
Spacious sites: Timber Ridge Campgrounds offers generous spacing between cabin sites. "Beautiful with super large sites. Plenty of space. You're close to your neighbor but doesn't feel like it. Quiet but also great for families," writes Sarah A. about her experience.
Recreational amenities: East Harbor State Park features walking and biking paths along with a beach area. "I enjoy this campground because there are lots of great spots to choose from. I love the ability to walk or bike to the beach. The camp store has all the necessities you may have forgotten," explains Jaclyn B. about her time at East Harbor State Park Campground.
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Most cabin camping locations operate between April and October. Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA has limited seasonal operation. "Only an overnight stop during a bigger trip but it seemed nice. They were accommodating to our late arrival and left a map and gate key at the office for the late arrivers," Scott C. notes about his experience.
Ferry requirements: Island cabins require additional planning. "You have to take a ferry to the camp ground. Kelley's Island Ferry in Marblehead. It is a few miles to camp ground so if you are renting and don't bring a vehicle you will want to rent a golf cart," advises Lauri J. about Kelleys Island State Park.
Booking windows: Findley State Park Campground requires advance planning during peak seasons. "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," mentions Jeffrey L.

Tips from RVers
Level sites: Sunset Lake Campground provides well-graded parking pads. "My wife and I visited in early May 2023, they were just starting to open things up after drying out.
