    Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA

    Small basic campground near Toledo

    Our site was $59.95 a night.

    We were in Site# 504. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level. We were charged $25 additional for my jeep since we were towing the trailer. We also were charged $10 because we arrived at 1:25 PM and check-in is at 2 PM. The park was close to empty so arriving early was not an inconvenience. We drove ourselves to our spot (no escort).

    Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.

    There is free WiFi, although not strong. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

    They pickup your garbage at your site daily before noon.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

    They do have a Swimming pool but it is currently closed due to maintenance (although it just looked closed- no signs of maintenance being done).

    There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes, corn hole, giant jinga.

    They have a basic general store. There are not scheduled activities for kids.

    There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

    The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. This is an RV park with tent camping and cabins to rent.

    They have one shower house. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

    There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry a load.

    They have a small fenced in dog park.

    There isn’t tons to doin the actual city of Perryville. But Toledo is a 20 minute drive.

    Sunset Springs RV Resort

    wonderful people

    we enjoyed our time at Sunset Springs. the owners are very friendly and accommodating. facilities are clean and modern, and the grounds very nice. work is underway to continuously improve the sites previously dominated by long term seasonals. new pull through are perfect for our 40 foot motorhome.

    we will return there if in the area.

    thank you to Brian, Cassie and Judy!

    Blue Water Campground

    Our stay at bluewater

    The staff is extremely friendly, and try to accomadate with anything you could need. The campesites are fairly large with gravel pads. They offer water and electric hook-up for 30&50 amps. There is not a sewer hook up but they do offer a weekly pump out for a small fee and a dump station on the way out. The pool, ponds, playground and pavillion are all within walking distance from almost any site.

    Indian Lake State Park Campground

    FHUs Sites in a field

    PROS 

    Able to reserve 144 days prior to arriving 

    Very nice campground but the design leaves a lot to be desired 

    Friendly camp hosts who were busy picking up trash in common areas and cleaning sites Moveable picnic table 

    Metal fire ring with cooking grate 

    Site D45 level asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass 

    Great view of lake from D loop; some had water access at rear of site 

    Quiet except for campground party animals who kept it going into the wee hours of the morning 

    Coin-operated laundromats in non FHU loops $1.50 wash and $1 dry 

    Free WIFI available and able to connect at campsite 

    Dump Stations at Park exit have complimentary hoses 

    Camp store sells hard dipped ice cream 

    14 miles from the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center 

    CONS 

    No senior discount

    $6.50 reservation fee for self made on-line reservation 

    Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

    Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

    FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

    Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

    Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

    Site number on electric utility box 

    FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

    No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground

    Gotta Getaway RV Park

    Ok

    This was an overnight stay on our way to Pennsylvania. It would be a bonus for big rigs as the pull Throughs are flat and easy to get into. We tend to prefer a back in because it usually gives us a bit more protection on the backside. Unfortunately, the site we were assigned took three blocks to level up, the the power was on the wrong side and our picnic table was in the back area of another camper. The bathroom was nice and close and handy. Some great effort has been made to make it attractive with two-tone tile but that is all overshadowed by the amount of spiders and bugs. I am a full-time RV year and shower all over the United States and this was one of the buggiest ever. The majority of this campground is for seasonals. There are some very nice seasonal lots with a small pond in their back Yard. The owner was very friendly and helpful on the phone. Serves a variety of needs.

    Arrowhead Lake RV Park & Campground

    Just a visit to check it out

    The pool looked to be the spot for the kids of all ages on this hot 4th of July. A well manicured campground, and while looking a bit narrow, it seemed some pull thrus for big rigs were adequate, with concrete pads and picnic tables. But all the driveways and pull thrus were gravel. Lots of seasonal trailers, and some large ones! No junk, and golf carts are restricted to electric.

    Crystal Rock Campground - Sandusky, OH

    Clean & cute

    This campground was family friendly, dog friendly, and very clean. About 30 minutes from cedar point. Our only complaint and the reason we’re docking a star is because our site was right next to a giant generator that seems to run 24/7 and sites seemed a little tight. Otherwise we enjoyed this campground very much.

    Adventure Bound Pleasant View

    Wagner Subscriber Campout

    We stayed at this campground in the group camp area. The sites are tight but do provide water and 30 amp electric.

    The campground offers a pond for fishing , swimming pool , bounce pad , inflatable lake fun, dog park and mini golf.

    Since we were there as a group event we didn’t use any of the extras but it all looked nice and clean plus lots of fun.

    Cell coverage was spotty but you could usually get some kind of signal.

    The campground has a lot of seasonal sites as well as primitive tent camping and standard rv sites.


Guide to Van Buren

Camping near Van Buren, Ohio offers both primitive tent sites and RV accommodations in a region characterized by flat terrain and remnant oak savanna ecosystems. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 80-85°F and winter lows regularly dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds in the region sit on former agricultural land that has been converted to recreational use.

What to do

Hiking trails: White Oak Campground connects directly to the 15.5-mile Scout Trail loop that runs through Oak Openings. "I was able to park my car here in the morning, hop on the trail (which runs right through the campground), and return later in the day," notes one camper at White Oak Campground.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple rv parks near Van Buren, Ohio feature fishing ponds for guests. At Arrowhead Lake RV Park & Campground, "They have two ponds, one for fishing and one for swimming," according to a reviewer who appreciated the designated areas for different water activities.

Nature observation: Cross-country skiing is available at Van Buren State Park during winter months when snow accumulates. "I came cross country skiing here in early January and it was absolutely amazing. It is cold but the terrain is simple for first time skiers," mentions a visitor to the park.

What campers like

Clean facilities: The maintained restrooms and washing stations are frequently mentioned in reviews. At White Oak Campground, campers appreciate the "outdoor sinks to wash dishes" and "extremely clean bathrooms, dish washing station, and free firewood."

Swimming options: Sunset Springs RV Resort offers river views that enhance the camping experience. "We arrived and were able to upgrade to site #1 due to a cancellation, overlooking the Ohio River. No one between us and the river, and we had a grand view," explains one satisfied visitor.

Kid-friendly amenities: Many Van Buren Ohio rv parks include recreational facilities designed for children. "The campground is very well kept, all sites would have been a good spot to call home for a couple nights. It was also a pretty quiet camp, compared to others, but they had their usual weekend events during the day for kids," notes a visitor to Sunset Springs RV Resort.

What you should know

Site leveling requirements: Terrain varies between campgrounds, with some requiring additional equipment. At Gotta Getaway RV Park, one camper reported "the site we were assigned took three blocks to level up, the power was on the wrong side and our picnic table was in the back area of another camper."

Seasonal operation: Many campgrounds close during colder months. Leafy Oaks RV Park operates from April 15 to October 15 according to their information, while other facilities may have different schedules.

Limited restroom facilities: Some campgrounds offer basic facilities only. Van Buren State Park has "only drop toilets and no showers. They were clean but I don't think I'd want to do more than a weekend there," reports a recent visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When camping with children, consider sites near play areas. "The middle of the circle is nice if you have kids since there's a playground, swings, basketball, and tether court," notes a visitor about Van Buren State Park Campground.

Water activities for hot days: Several campgrounds offer swimming options during summer months. Arrowhead Lake RV Park features a swimming pond with "a dock kids jump off but it only goes to about 3.5-4 feet deep at the deepest point," according to a visitor who found this depth appropriate for younger swimmers.

Advance reservations required: Some locations have strict booking policies. White Oak Campground requires campers to "RESERVE ONLINE BEFORE 4PM. There is no walk-up service, and online site goes down after employees go home at night," warns a reviewer.

Tips from RVers

Overnight turnpike options: Blue Heron Ohio Turnpike RV Lot provides convenience for travelers passing through. "Perfect overnighter. Simplicity at its finest. Highway stop is open 24 hrs so you have food and bathrooms all night. Everything is bright, nice and clean and feels very safe. Free overnight stay allowed and for extra $20 you can get electricity," explains one RVer.

Payment methods: Be prepared with cash when staying at certain facilities. At Blue Heron Ohio Turnpike RV Lot, "you need cash to pay for the electric at a machine and then you get a ticket to display in the dash. The machine didn't take cards," notes a recent visitor.

Site selection tips: For RV campers, site layout matters. According to a visitor at Arrowhead Lake RV Park, "The seasonal ones all have back in and the weekends are pull through which is kinda nice," offering easier access for short-term visitors.
