    Bear Run Campground

    Options.

    This is an amazing campground with reasonable prices, an array of camping options to suit different camping needs as well as budget range. I am unsure if I just happen to have gotten lucky and decided to go camping during a special weekend, but it’s Labor Day weekend and I am loving that there is a calendar of events for campers to participate in if they choose to. Activities include wagon rides to the lake, talent show, karaoke…etc, as well as church! This was an unexpected gem as we are from Florida and were blessed enough to stumble upon the right person in a parking lot when my husband asked if they knew of any places that we could possibly camp at nearby and that gentleman told us about Moraine Park. Upon making our way out to here, we found Bear Run and have loved our experience so far. Love it!

    Mountain Top Campground

    Solitude peace and quiet

    You come up a winding road and emerge atop the mountain. It’s cute. Wide open grass land with sites around the perimeter. Half a dozen of them (premium) are at the edge and have a nice view to the hills beyond. Basic amenities. Some ice and fire wood that are self serve. We’re just here for the night and are hoping to catch an uber into the city for a pirates game. Place is full - ish but is super quiet. If you’re looking for a place to hang a hammock and read a book. This is it. Nice fire holes with a view.

    Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

    Quiet, peaceful, close to all the things

    We stopped here for a couple nights to go to a Cleveland Guardians game and go to Cuyahoga National Park. It was within great proximity to both and had all the amenities the kids and I love. Swimming (wish it were open a little later…) laundry 24/7, a game room, store with just what we needed to pick up a few things, a pond that seemed to always have someone fishing at it (that’s a good thing) and a big wide sites to spread out and have a nice campfire in. (Wood available 24/7 and trash pick up at the site in the AM). It’s always nerve wracking when the fire pits are close to the rigs - loved that these sits were wide. And while there are likely people here it feels nice and spread out.

    Woodside Lake Park

    Old Park With Iron Laden Well Water Beware

       I stayed at this park for 2 months in 2023 and was planing on staying for 5 months in 2025. 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. It damages everything and they won't put a treatment system in at the well pump like the 2nd well has so you can filter it to an acceptable level for drinking, cooking, washing etc.

       In 2023 I was in a section that was treated and my filters/softener did a acceptable job to make it work. I Used the laundry facilities also. This trip to see family in 2025 I was in a different section and by the second day it was unacceptable disgusting turbid rusty water with sulfur odor. I bought additional filters for Ferrous Iron Water treatment and remediation along with iron out chemical for cleaning fixtures and plumbing system on the camper. It barely worked well enough for a couple weeks between filter changes and rinsing the system for shower use. I Had to buy drinking water in town every few days for cooking, drinking and brushing teeth etc.

       New owners bought the park in 2023 and have increased monthly rent from$750 a month to$950 a month but don't seem to care enough about the health and comfort of their guest to do anything with the well water for a majority of the park. Let alone any of the other infrastructure or"amenities" to be generous in there reference This year even the laundry machines where too disgusting to use that we had to go into town for laundry also.

       The park needs major renovations to just bring it up to modern standards. The bath house is in decrepit condition moldy smelly and barely cleaned anytime I was over there. Site pads are rip rap 1" to 4" size rock with no fine rock coverings, or in some areas smoother rock and dirt but nowhere close to flat or level. Water drainage when its raining is deplorable and you very well might be in a mud pit at your doorway.

       It's sad there are no decent RV parks in the Cleveland area, just old campgrounds that have added hook-ups and market themselves as RV parks and now charge like they are RV Resorts. Reserve a space at your own risk and definitely verify where and what water source you are on. Bring plenty of filters and plan on sanitizing your system after staying there.

    Silver Springs Campground

    Affordable

    The lots are nice and large. The main problem was very hard to level and soft grass they don’t have a well compacted area for your tt/rv. Would be nice to have bathroom built on the campground. Have to walk to the baseball field to use the bathrooms. Overall had a good time with my family.

    Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground

    Great community

    When I first got here the 2 owners went above and beyond in so many ways. Unfortunately they didn’t have a 50 amp site available so the owner gave me 30 amp converter at no cost and also helped me hook up my gray water and black water connections. They keep the area pristine and welcome everyone as if they are family.

    Nice All Year Around Camping

    This was an awesome place for a winter trip! The tent sites were big and right on the lake. Everyone was so kind!

Guide to Struthers

Camping sites near Struthers, Ohio provide access to Allegheny Plateau landscapes characterized by rolling hills and multiple lake systems within a 30-mile radius. The region experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers reaching into the 80s and winter temperatures often dropping below freezing. Most privately owned campgrounds in the immediate Struthers area maintain operations from May through October with limited year-round options.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: West Branch State Park Campground offers multiple fishing spots along its extensive shoreline. "We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite. There are many inlets to explore or fish," explains a visitor who appreciates the direct water access.

Hiking options: The natural areas surrounding Struthers feature varied terrain for hikers of all skill levels. At Beaver Creek State Park Campground, visitors find "many scenic hiking trails" with direct access to the North Country National Scenic Trail. One reviewer noted that "from our campsite we walked along the creek into McConnells Mill State Park and joined the covered bridge trail, approximately 30-minute walk along the creek."

Water recreation: Beyond fishing, the lakes provide swimming and boating options during summer months. "The lake is big and you can boat, fish, kayak & canoe in it. There is a boat launch onsite," mentions a camper at Shenango Campground. Mill Creek Camping at Berlin Lake Wildlife Area maintains "numerous fishing and open swimming opportunities basically anywhere you want along the water."

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Mill Creek Camping — Berlin Lake Wildlife Area receives consistent praise for its lake access. "We book a lakefront site and it is just gorgeous! We have our own private little beach which our dog loves," shares one reviewer who returned for a second visit specifically for this feature.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high in visitor satisfaction. "Very clean park with running water bathrooms," mentions a Mill Creek camper. Another noted that Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground "keep the area pristine and welcome everyone as if they are family."

Natural surroundings: Breakneck Campground offers "gorgeous deck spot above the gorge" which campers especially value. "We were right next to the creek, it was super spacious and super private," reports one visitor who stayed at one of the primitive sites. The campground maintains several "elevated timber platform overlooking a gorge" sites that provide unique perspectives.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak summer months. At West Branch State Park, visitors advise to "make reservations six months in advance. Waterside sites fill up quickly." This planning requirement applies to most lake-adjacent campsites throughout the region.

Site conditions: Terrain varies significantly between campgrounds and even within the same facility. "We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches," reported one RVer at West Branch about a site labeled as having a "slight slope." Campers should bring leveling equipment when visiting hilly areas.

Noise considerations: While some campgrounds maintain strict quiet hours, enforcement varies. At Shenango Campground, one visitor mentioned getting "woken up by the cleaning crew lead blowing the sidewalk around the restroom at 7:00 a.m." Several campgrounds generate mixed reviews regarding noise enforcement during busy weekends.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: KOA Lake Milton Berlin Lake maintains dedicated family facilities. "The campground had so many amenities it's hard to name them all! My 2 boys had so much fun at the lake and the playground and the bounce pad," reports a satisfied parent. Many sites include scheduled weekend activities during summer months.

Water safety: When camping with children near lakes, prepare for varying conditions. "The swimming lake was pretty gross. Lots of algae and lots of mud," noted one visitor to Lake Milton KOA. Consider bringing water shoes and personal flotation devices as rental equipment may be limited.

Playground access: West Branch State Park features "a nice playground with toy stocked sandpit" and even provides "a step stool for kids to be able to reach the sinks" in bathrooms. Select sites near recreation areas to minimize walking distances for younger children.

Tips from RVers

Hookup details: Not all electric sites offer full amenities. At Pioneer Trails Tree Farm Campground, the sites are "level and quiet" but most have limited services. Chestnut Ridge Park provides "115 developed sites with full hookups" and visitors note "they keep up on the gravel and leveling which is always appreciated."

Access limitations: Some campgrounds have specific approach requirements. One visitor to Beaver Creek State Park Campground warned that "there is a road in the park (Echo Dell Road) that RVs/Trailers can't go on so make sure you approach this campground from Leslie Road." Large rigs should call ahead to confirm access routes and site suitability.

Water fill stations: Several visitors mentioned water fill station challenges. At West Branch State Park, "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." Carry extra water containers or plan for partial fills when visiting sites with problematic water stations.
