Facilities such as showers, restrooms, and camp stores receive mixed reviews, with cleanliness standards varying by location and time of season. Family-friendly amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and fishing ponds are available at several of the commercial campgrounds.

TravelerThis 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
ScoutWe 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).
TravelerWe 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.
TravelerWe paid $25 for the night and it was definitely worth it! Beautiful grassy area with spacious sites. There were clean porta potties, potable water, dump stations, and also a working restroom but we didn’t try it so not sure what that was like. Great cell service and data connection. Only ~15 minutes drive from Cuyahoga! Overall lovely campsite would 100% recommend!
RangerOur site was level, although I observed many that are not. It was fairly quiet, although the sites are pretty small. Ours was described as 'waterfront', but it was so overgrown between the site and the shoreline that there was no access and the lake wasn't visible. Bathrooms were very clean and the shower worked great.
TravelerMosquito Lake gets a bad rap because of its name. We had such a great time launching our kayak from our campsite! I’ve attached a highlighted map marked with the sights on or very close to the water to launch a kayak. Additional kayak launch sites available around the park if you can’t get one of these. It’s great campground if you have kids or a dog. Plenty of great playgrounds and a dog park/dog beach. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. The wash house has laundry and showers. Everything was clean.
The Streetsboro area offers camping opportunities in northeastern Ohio's glacial landscape, where elevations range between 1,100-1,300 feet. Located at the edge of Ohio's Snow Belt, the region experiences distinct seasonal transitions with particularly vibrant fall foliage in October. Campgrounds near Streetsboro provide access to both the urban amenities of nearby cities and natural features including glacial lakes, sandstone formations, and mixed hardwood forests.
Hiking through sandstone formations: Nelson-Kennedy Ledges Quarry Park features unusual geological formations with multiple skill level trails. "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," notes Anthony S.
Water activities at lakes: Many campgrounds maintain their own fishing ponds or lake access. At Roundup Lake RV Resort, campers can enjoy various water sports. "We camped in a 33' TT in a pull through site... Lake was beautiful tried some fishing. We caught a few little blue gills. Beach looked inviting and lots of fun things for kids of all ages," reports Mike A.
Disc golf and archery: Punderson State Park Campground offers specialized outdoor sports beyond standard camping activities. A camper named Daniel notes, "Opportunities for disc golf, archery range, canoeing/kayaking/row boats, swimming (no lifeguard) and golf."
Private wooded sites: West Branch State Park Campground receives praise for its site layout and natural setting. According to Alisa G., "West Branch has private, spacious, shady sites. We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite... There are many inlets to explore or fish."
Proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park: Silver Springs Campground serves as a convenient base for national park exploration. As Gary G. explains, "Gave it an extra star for proximity to Cuyahoga Valley NP, bargain price for a site with electric hookups, quiet setting and helpful hosts... There is also a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground."
Christmas tree farm camping: For a unique setting, campers recommend Heritage Farms. "I loved staying at this farm! It is in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so it is in a very central area if you want to explore! The views from the camp spots are incredible. We stayed in a lean-to and it was so much fun!" shares Rebecca A.
Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds struggle with water issues. At Woodside Lake Park, one camper reported: "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."
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the area operate from April/May through October, with limited winter camping options. Silver Springs Campground offers a specific season from "April to October," while Roundup Lake operates "May 1 to October 31."
Wildlife encounters: Expect to see various wildlife at these campgrounds. At Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA, Traci F. shares, "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."
Look for campgrounds with dedicated children's activities: Family-friendly amenities can make a big difference in your camping experience. At Countryside Campground, Joe F. reports, "Kids trick or treated and all campers were very friendly... Playground was a hit for our 8yr and under kids... Staff had crafts and pumpkin decorating for kids also and were helpful and friendly."
Consider tent sites with shade: When camping with children, shaded sites provide relief from summer heat. Abbey at Silver Springs Campground notes, "Sites were a good size and fit the online description well. Some sites are full sun while others are mostly shade but the website describes them well."
Check swimming options: Many area campgrounds have pools or swimming areas that appeal to families. At Roundup Lake RV Resort, Brandy Q. observed, "Campsites surround a sizable lake which boasts inflatables as well as enough room for self-propelled water crafts (i.e. kayaks, paddleboards, etc)."
Be prepared for uneven sites: Many campgrounds in the Streetsboro area have challenging terrain. At West Branch State Park, Andrea F. warns, "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."
Verify hookup details: Electric service varies widely between campgrounds. At Punderson State Park, one camper noted, "Very few full hookups. Rest of the sites only have 15-20 amp service. The lots are not even close to level."
Check site spacing: RV site proximity can affect your camping experience. Brandy at Roundup Lake shares, "The sites are wide. And while there are likely people here it feels nice and spread out."
