Wadsworth area campgrounds offer a range of tent and RV options within northeast Ohio's rolling hills and woodlands. Located in Medina County at approximately 1,150 feet elevation, the region typically experiences mild summers with daytime temperatures around 80°F and cooler evenings, making it ideal for outdoor recreation. Winter camping remains available at select sites, though most facilities close between October and April due to snowfall and freezing conditions.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide access to stocked fishing ponds and reservoirs. At Countryside Campground, a short path leads to Mogadore Reservoir where visitors can fish from shore. According to Tommy K., "I wish I would of brought my yak so we could have explored the reservoir a bit more. There's a dock just outside of the campground if carrying is not your thing."
Explore Amish Country: Several campgrounds serve as gateways to Ohio's Amish communities. Berlin RV Park & Campground puts you "right in the middle of Ohio's Amish country with easy access to shopping and food and other great experiences like the large cuckoo clock in Sugar Creek," notes Chris C. Kenny C. adds, "Spent the weekend here while visiting Amish country in Ohio. The owners are extremely nice and helpful."
Biking trails: Multiple campgrounds connect to Ohio's trail networks. River Trail Crossing offers direct access to the paved B&O Trail. Bob M. explains that his family enjoyed their riverfront spot because "Bike trail access right from the campground. Golf nearby, Amish shops, canoeing. Great area to visit."

Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: When selecting an RV site, check leveling requirements. Craig T. noted at Berlin RV Park, "We had difficulty leveling one night in lot 3 but traded to #4 the next night and did fine. The many pull thru lots looked like a good level base."

At Maple Lakes Campground, Tracy L. appreciated that "we could book and reserve our exact spot online" and that "sites had a bit of space." Kimberly L. added there was "excellent spacing between spaces."
Extended stay options: Several parks accommodate longer-term camping. Riverview RV Park offers "season spots to daily and weekly spots along with yearly," according to Jason D., who noted, "This campground does not have sewage and pumps you out twice a week if seasonal and yearly. If you need a pump out it 20$ for emergency situations."
