What to do
Explore lakeside trails: West Branch State Park features several shoreline paths for hiking and wildlife viewing. "There are many scenic hiking trails at West Branch. Bridal trails are located on Esworthy Rd," notes Alisa G., who recommends bringing binoculars for birdwatching.
Go fishing at multiple spots: At Mill Creek Camping, campers can fish directly from their sites. "We have our own private little beach which our dog loves," says Sarah K., mentioning the lake access is just steps from waterfront sites.
Experience horseback riding: Canton / East Sparta KOA Holiday offers on-site horseback riding excursions. "Camped here several times growing up. Staff were great and helpful... it's a fun campsite," shares Bradley B. about the unique guided riding options available.
Winter swimming options: For year-round glamping, Evergreen Park RV Resort maintains an indoor swimming pool open through winter. "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves... The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool," writes Andrea F.
What campers like
Private shoreline access: At Atwood Lake Park Campground, waterfront sites allow for immediate boat access. "Docks available 50' from our waterfront lot. We could leave our camper, take the boat over to the beach and drop off the grandkids," explains Susan S.
Well-maintained bathroom facilities: Multiple glamping sites prioritize clean facilities. "Great site! Shades lots of space semi private area. Right off the water with area to tie boat for easy water access," reports Katelyn P. about West Branch State Park.
Dog-friendly amenities: Many glamping locations welcome pets with designated areas. "Dog park is fabulous. Beautiful walking trail. Club house and pool are immaculate, including public restrooms and showers," says Beth G. about Evergreen Park RV Resort.
Cultural experiences nearby: The proximity to Amish Country provides unique shopping and dining. "The park is in Amish areas so there is plenty of shopping to do," notes Andrea F., mentioning roadside stands and local craftwork.
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Some camping areas require extra equipment. "We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches. The jack was down as low as it would go and we were still off by 1.5 inches," advises Andrea F. about West Branch State Park, suggesting bringing leveling blocks.
Weekend crowds at water features: Public access can impact camper experiences. "Took kids to swim at lake to find out they open the swimming area to the public. There were 2 commercial busses of teenage hoodrats that were beeing super aggressive," reports Flying Z. about visiting Clay's Resort Jellystone Park.
Seasonal operation schedules: Most glamping sites in the region operate from May through October, with limited winter options. "Only open in the summer," notes J M. about Mill Creek Camping, highlighting the importance of checking operational dates.
Reservation requirements: Popular weekends book months in advance. "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!" emphasizes Alisa G. about securing premium locations.
Tips for camping with families
Book campsites near recreational areas: Sites near playgrounds reduce travel time with children. "The kids really enjoyed the entire time and were wore out! I guess I have 2 issues I experienced. I stayed on site LV27. Great location, but not even close to level," advises Chuck E. at Clay's Resort Jellystone Park.
Consider shower facilities: Bathhouses with changing areas benefit families. "The bathrooms are very well cleaned and maintained. Showers are spacious with an entry changing room prior to shower," writes Chelsea M., noting the privacy benefit for families.
Check for kid-specific programming: Some locations offer scheduled activities. "An ice cream social is held on Saturday evenings that my children always love to attend," shares Alisa G. about West Branch State Park's family events.
Choose sites with open play space: Look for areas with room to set up games. "There is a nice path through the woods leading to Mogadore Reservoir," says Tommy K. about Countryside Campground, mentioning the large, spacious tent sites perfect for families.
Tips from RVers
Early arrival recommended: Backing into sites can be challenging when campgrounds fill. "Advice - get there early or you'll have many vehicles and campers to watch for as you back in!" suggests Joe F. about Countryside Campground.
Water fill challenges: Some utility stations present difficulties. "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," notes Andrea F. about West Branch State Park.
Full hookup availability varies: Many glamping sites offer upgraded utility options. "The site has large concrete pads with full hookups," reports Andrea F. about Atwood Lake Park Campground, describing the convenience for RVers.
Site selection for connectivity: For those needing internet, location matters. "If you need WiFi, bring your own source or go to the club house as the park's is weak," advises Beth G. about staying connected at Evergreen Park RV Resort.
