Campers reference The Dyrt for top tips on camping near Solon, Ohio. The pet-friendly sites maintain a family-focused environment with amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and fishing opportunities, though raccoons and skunks frequently visit campsites along the water/electric back-in section—proper food storage is essential when camping with dogs.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park trails provide excellent dog walking opportunities just minutes from these pet-friendly campgrounds. The West Woods offers tent camping with pets allowed, though sites require a quarter-mile walk from the parking lot, making wagons useful for transporting pet supplies. Bathroom facilities at most campgrounds remain clean and well-maintained, with some parks offering fenced dog areas for off-leash play. Wildlife encounters, particularly with raccoons bold enough to approach within four feet even without food present, require extra vigilance when camping with pets. Local stores including Walmart and Dollar General provide convenient access to pet supplies within 3-5 minutes of most campgrounds, ensuring campers won't run short on dog food or other necessities during their stay.

RangerSimple site with hookups. For the price, I didn't expect much. The hosts were friendly and got me in last minute despite coming in their last weekend of the year. It's about an hour from Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Sadly didnt get more pictures from the campground, aside from a frosty picnic table.
TravelerWe 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.
GuideThis place has so much to offer so I’m just going to list them : -Beautiful lakeside camping -clean, spacious and level spots -Boat launch -sandy beach -friendly camp host and park employees -basketball court, sand volleyball court, kids playground and nature center
GuideThis park is off the beaten path and filled mostly with Full Timers in beautiful landscaped sites. But room for overnighters like us. All sites have electric and water. The laundry is small, only 1 working washer, but it came in handy. The bathrooms have free showers but could use a deep cleaning. Big open field for the dog to play
TravelerWe 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).
GuideWe were passing through on a weeknight in mid September. Many open sites. Sites are paved and many are sloped. Most are shaded. Our site #41 was fairly level with electricity. Close to huge bathhouse with flush toilets, showers and laundry. High above the lake with views through the trees. Appeared there were many long term campers but just as good for our short overnight stay. Online registration. $45 for electric only site.
LegendWe’ve stayed here several times over the years and it’s always a pleasant experience. Lots of seasonal campers, but most are only in residence on the weekends. During the week we have the place to ourselves. Clean facilities, the standard picnic table and fire ring. Incredible sunsets, lake breeze and nothing but the crashing of the waves to lull you into a peaceful nights rest.
TravelerIts a beautiful campsite surrounded by trees with a lake right in the middle of the park. They do provide fire wood though its not always guaranteed. If you like waking up in front of a lake or always dreamt of doing it. This is the place to go. Oh, and a great fishing spot. The lake is always stocked
ScoutWe 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.
Camping options near Solon, Ohio range from basic tent sites to full-service RV resorts with elevations between 1,000-1,200 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F, ideal for water recreation, while spring and fall camping requires layers for temperature fluctuations. Most campgrounds in this area lie within 30 minutes of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, offering varied terrain from wooded sites to lakeside camping.
Hike through unique terrain: Nelson-Kennedy Ledges Quarry Park features distinctive rock formations for explorers of all skill levels. "This place is a great place to take your kids and pets. There are numerous trails for different skill levels and tons of caves to explore. Also the view at the end is fantastic and is a great place to relax and read for the day," writes Anthony S.
Fish at local reservoirs: Countryside Campground provides access to Mogadore Reservoir with shoreline fishing opportunities. "There is a nice path through the woods down to the reservoir, where you can fish and kayak," notes Kathryn P. The campground sits less than a quarter mile from the water.
Visit the Nature Center: The West Woods offers educational opportunities beyond just camping. "Great small park with a hiking trail that takes about an hour or hour and a half, it has a waterfall, small tiny cave, bridges and stairs. Really well maintained paths, tiny gravel for less mud," says Kayla S.
Private tent sites: Heritage Farms offers uniquely situated camping spots. "Sites are spread apart nicely. Each one has a picnic table and fire ring. Grassy spots that are fairly level and mowed. Came with firewood and a little kindling too," says Josh W. This Christmas tree farm camping area requires a short walk from parking but provides distinctive secluded sites.
Water recreation: Roundup Lake RV Resort features a sizable lake with multiple recreation options. "Campsites surround a sizable lake which boasts inflatables as well as enough room for self-propelled water crafts (i.e. kayaks, paddleboards, etc)," notes Brandy Q., who adds that the 5 mph rule is strictly enforced for safety.
Affordable camping near attractions: Silver Springs Campground offers budget-friendly camping with proximity to regional attractions. "We stayed overnight and arrived after a big storm passed through. Our grassy site had some muddy spots, but the site was big enough that we were able to avoid the mud... This would be a great home base for biking and/or exploring the Cuyahoga Valley NP," shares Karla J.B.
Site conditions vary significantly: Punderson State Park Campground has diverse site options but some challenging terrain. "The sites greatly vary on size and flatness so make sure you look at the pictures of the site before you book some are basically the parking pad and a fire ring, some are big and flat some are on a incline," advises Joe I.
Water quality issues: Some campgrounds have water challenges to consider. At Woodside Lake Park, a visitor noted: "I left after 2 months due to iron & sulfur laden well water that is provided in at least half the park. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to filter and clean up the water to no avail." Consider bringing drinking water if staying at campgrounds with well water systems.
