Visitors note that the walking paths at Countryside Campground connect directly to the reservoir, creating excellent opportunities for dogs who enjoy swimming. Most campgrounds in the area maintain a two-pet maximum policy per site, though exceptions may be made with advance notice. Local wildlife encounters necessitate keeping pets secured at all times, particularly during evening hours when raccoons and deer are common visitors to campgrounds.

      Outstanding site in great campground

      Stayed on a premium patio site and loved it. The campground and staff were awesome. Level site, great hook ups, awesome WiFi and cable. Clean facilities, 3 lakes (one with a fishing pier), 2 dog parks, and super friendly staff. 30 min to Cleveland. Walmart, gas stations and restaurants within 5 miles. Just off Ohio Turnpike, but can't hear it. Definitely recommend this KOA

      Great for the price and location

      Stayed here to be close to the NP and it is a great little campground for a reasonable price. Big dog park with pond on the other side of the park. Sites are uneven but my favorite part was the wooded path.

      Silver Springs Campground

      Nice campground near Cuyahoga

      We were in the area exploring Cuyahoga Nat Park and found Silver Springs. It was 18$ for a site with electric hook ups (15$ if you are a Stow resident) No option for no paying less for no hook-up camping. Water close by and port a pottie style bathrooms close to the camp sites. There are flush toilets a walk away but we didn’t use them. Sites are big and grassy but not super level. Wasn’t a big issue for us but could be for a bigger camper. The campground was calm and quiet. Lots of trails close by. Dog park down the street as well as a play ground and fishing pond! We had a great few days staying here and will be back if we are even passing thru Stow again.

      Lots of options!

      We really loved this little spot! It appealed to all of what we were looking for, our camp host was awesome. There was even a dog park within walking distance- a lot of trails to explore too. No showers and the Porto potties weren't the cleanest... But they were functional. Very hospitable locals- we were invited to a square dancing party that evening in the park! Very comfy and safe.

      Great parking

      The bathrooms are portojons and there are no showers, however there is THE best dog park I have ever seen in this area. So my dogs loved this campground more than me and that was worth it. It was dark enough to see a space station cross the sky at night. The camping spaces are rather close, but so many people want to camp there, because of its proximity to everything amazing.

    Guide to Tallmadge

    Ohio camping areas near Tallmadge typically sit between 1,000-1,200 feet elevation in the western edge of the Appalachian Plateau. The region experiences distinct seasons with moderate summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F from June through September. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, closing from late October through April due to winter conditions.

    What to do

    Fishing access: At Mill Creek Camping, visitors can enjoy lakefront fishing opportunities with convenient boat docking options. "We were fourtante that our spot was right beside the lake and we could keep the boat docked their during our stay," notes Renee G. Multiple access points to the water make fishing convenient throughout the campground.

    Hiking trails: Heritage Farms provides wooded walking paths within the Christmas tree farm property. "There is a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground," mentions Gary G. from Silver Springs. The farm's unique setting creates distinctive hiking experiences through rows of evergreens.

    Mini golf courses: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Akron/Canton offers a well-maintained mini golf course included with camping fees. "This campground has a really nice mini golf course! It's free for campers but the public can come and pay to play," shares Dawn R. The course provides entertainment for families between swimming sessions.

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Countryside Campground receives high marks for its site layout. "The pull thru sites were a tad small but nice and long. Even with the sites close together it was quiet and peaceful," writes Kathryn P. The campground maintains well-defined boundaries between camping areas.

    Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention bathroom cleanliness as a priority. "The bathhouse was very nice. Updated showers and flush toilets. There were also sporadic bathrooms around the campground," reports Dawn R. about her stay at Jellystone Park. Regular maintenance schedules keep facilities functional during peak season.

    Private camping spots: For those seeking seclusion, certain campgrounds offer more isolation. "We couldn't really see or hear any other campers," explains Abbey E. about her stay at Heritage Farms. The well-spaced sites create natural buffers between camping areas for increased privacy.

    What you should know

    Water quality varies: Some campgrounds struggle with water issues. At Woodside Lake Park, a reviewer noted: "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 additional drinking water regardless of where you stay.

    Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly during summer months. "All sites are reservation only and they usually fill up fast," mentions Renee G. about Mill Creek Camping. Book at least 2-4 weeks in advance for weekend stays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

    Weather considerations: The Tallmadge area experiences frequent summer storms. "We stayed overnight and arrived after a big storm passed through. Our grassy site had some muddy spots," reports Karla J.B. about Silver Springs Campground. Pack tarps and extra ground cover for potential wet conditions.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming options for children. "The pool was so nice it wasn't too crowded and the view over looking the 'lake' was so pretty," says Traci F. about her stay at Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA. Many locations also feature fishing ponds suitable for younger anglers.

    Kid-friendly programming: Organized activities keep children entertained. "They had crafts and pumpkin decorating for kids also and were helpful and friendly," writes Joe F. about his Countryside Campground experience. Check activity calendars when booking to coordinate with planned events.

    Safety considerations: Consider campground layouts when traveling with children. "We were in the area for medical visits in Cleveland. This spot was convenient and a great location to do a little sightseeing," explains Sharon J. regarding the Streetsboro KOA. Proximity to medical facilities may factor into campground selection for families with health concerns.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Many area campgrounds have uneven terrain. "Semi-level. Our first visit at site #1 was very difficult to level a 24 ft trailer and full sun. Returned a few weeks later to site #4, was much more level and full shade," advises Gary G. about Silver Springs. Request specific site recommendations when making reservations.

    Hookup locations: Some campgrounds have inconvenient utility placements. "The hook ups were on the wrong side and if i pulled in like they wanted me to... my truck would have been in a pavilion and i would not have been able to unhook," warns Rich E. about Cherokee Park Campground. Confirm utility placement before arrival, especially for larger rigs.

    Seasonal considerations: Off-season camping offers advantages. "We checked in late and they came around and gathered our info and told us about the place," mentions Abbey E. about Silver Springs Campground. Shoulder season camping (May and September) provides better site availability and more personalized service.
