Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months from May through October.

      Pymatuning State Park Campground

      unmaintenanced

      the lake is beautiful  and the park is clean but the cabins or the one I was in needed maintenance badly.front porch was soft and spongy .the screened in porch had huge holes in the screens and a huge gap in the floor .the picnic table and fire pit were leaning  badly. the bedroom had a hole in the wall which should  have been a easy fix if anyone  cared. the boat rental was nice

      West Branch State Park Campground

      Well kept campground with access to beach and dock

      Each campsite in on a leveled cement pad and comes with a fire ring a picnic table. There is plenty of room around your site and you don't feel crowded. Most sites offer nice tree coverage for shade. The restrooms and showers are very clean and well taken care of. There is also a laundry facility and sink outside each one for washing dishes and water fountains throughout the park. There is a nice beachfront for swimming and then a dock that be reached from outside the park. A beautiful lake for kayaking or boating. The store has most camping needs in it and once a week they host an ice cream social. Has a very nice playground and a sand volleyball court. There are some hiking trails, but nothing extensive.

      Headwaters Park

      Campsite A

      Had a nice stay at the Camp Site A tent site, which they label as their ADA Accessible site.

      Overall me and the kids had a really nice time hanging atbthe site and exploring around the lake. Lots of friendly people too.

      Pros:

      • Tent site was generally good with a picnic table and fire pit on-site
      • Pull in parking right next to the campsite (which seems to be true for all tents and leantos)
      • Great walkable area with lots to explore with the kids
      • A few nice things just a 10min drive away like the Eagle Park splash park and playground and the cute Burton town square.
      • Tons of birds for all my bird watchers
      • Right at the entrance to the tent site area and right next to the restrooms
      • Sometimes people bring horses down there for a walk
      • Can't see other campers tent from your site (which i like because Im out here to get away from people)

      Cons:

      • Being right next the restrooms and tent area entrance is a higher traffic area. Didn't bother us much but could get annoying if woken up by a late night driver or door slam
      • The stump on the tent site has a snake in it. Didn't bother us at all, only saw it once as it was slithering away, but thought other might like to know.
      • Toilet was out of hand sanitizer

      FAQ:

      • No electic
      • No plumbing or showers (it is basically an outhouse)

      Roundup Lake RV Resort

      Great Lively Place with lots of Amenities

      Starting off, everyone from the employees to the other campers were super friendly! My boyfriend and I rented The Park Model Cabin which was sort of a half trailer with a full bathroom and full kitchen. The bed was the only detractor of our trip, as it was mostly springs. We brought our air mattress in for the second night and slept much better. The themed weekends throughout the season are fun and festive and there are a lot of activities to do and participate!

      Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

      It's Easy to Love this Campground

      As newbies to all things RV, we needed a place in Ohio to break in our new travel trailer. Indian Creek is family and pet friendly with all the amenities and even a great lookout spot across the street where you can take in a Lake Erie sunset. We loved the clean bathrooms and appreciated the staff's effort to maintain services while encouraging social distancing. All of their COVID-19 policies were well spelled out online and in signage across the resort so that you knew what to expect. All of the staff wore masks and bathrooms were cleaned often. Some of their usual events and programs were unavailable but they offered craft kits for children to pick up and do at their own campsite in lieu of the usual program. We enjoyed their beautiful put-put course and ice cream stand. They did not allow outside visitors in the resort. The only thing that threw us off was that the bathhouses were closed at night and we didn't know that until we tried to use them. The resort is expanding and adding new sites. They are planting lots of trees (it looked like one at each site) so the resort should become more park-like and less parking lot as they grow. We really liked the back-in sites with water and electric hookups because they were larger and more private and wooded. The fire ring was so easy to cook on that now I'm spoiled! The camp store/gas station was convenient and well stocked with camping supplies. Golf carts are available to rent if you need them to navigate this huge park. We rode our bikes instead. There is a township park just down the road towards Geneva-on-the-Lake proper that we used to spend some leisure and exercise time near the lake. We look forward to visiting this RV resort again in the future!

      West Branch State Park Campground

      Wooded Waterside Sites

      Make reservations! (6 months in advance).  Waterside sites fill up quickly! Check in is very easy as you pass the camp store on your way in. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table.  West Branch has private, spacious, shady sites. We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite. The shower house and bathrooms are large and clean. There is even a book exchange shelf at the shower house in case of rainy days. The park office loans games and sports equipment to campers. Washers and dryers are also at the shower house. There is an outside sink to wash up dishes. Bring your boat or kayak. There are many inlets to explore or fish. There is a small beach at the campground but a larger one on the other side of the lake. There is a boat launch at the campground.  There are playgrounds for the children. An ice cream social is held on Saturday evenings that my children always love to attend. There is a newer dog park near the intersection of Rock Spring  and Esworthy roads. There are many scenic hiking trails at West Branch. Bridal trails are located on Esworthy Rd. West Branch is our favorite campground and we make sure to visit every year.

      Jamestown Campground — Pymatuning State Park

      great spot for direct kayak/canoe put in.

      We stayed in site 218. this spot is in the smaller ( less crowded) part of Jamestown campground in Pymatuning SP. it is right on the water and has an easy access area for shore fishing and entering a kayak or canoe or some other water device. the site sits on a little bay and the otherside (more crowded) of the campground is across the water. the water is a little murky/ grassy but still good entry area. the campsite was spacious for a pa state park. the site is between the lake and the road. sites 212-222 look to be on the water with boat access, but 218 has the easiest entry. 220’s picnic Bench and fire pit sit next to the water with great views, but there is little shade. 218 had a great shady spot were you can hang 3 hammocks. there is no electricity at these sites and pretty much tent only. lots of tent space. the fire ring was decent but we moved it as it was right underneath a burnt tree. 218 was ADA accessible with a nice picnic table. restrooms were fairly close. clean... outdated, but clean.

      Jamestown Campground — Pymatuning State Park

      Another trip to Jamestown Campground

      My family has visited Pymatuning park many times now and try have used a variety of spots at Jamestown campground. It is large, offering multiple options for campsite types. It’s a standard PA state park campground offering bathrooms (bathrooms are older, but are being renovated July-August 2021) showers, fire ring, picnic table, etc. Campsites J-106 thru J-116 are well shaded, but are alongside route 322 which maintains consistent traffic at all hours. If the noise is not an issue, this run of tent sites are well spaced, and offer easy access to the facilities. To be away from the road (and nearer to the lake) sites J-120 thru J-128 are closer together but can be quieter (depending on your neighbors…)

      The beach area is clean, and raked often. It has a playground and volleyball court. On Friday’s they have a family movie night at the amphitheater. Most Saturdays in the summer they offer crafts and activities for kids at the beach.

      The surrounding area also has plenty of activities to offer: Local restaurants, ice cream, hiking, kayaking/boating, fishing, etc.

      Pymatuning State Park Campground

      Tent camping

      This is a large campground with mostly RV sites. The tent area was relatively small with little space or privacy between sites, and a picnic table and fire pit at each. Most sites were pretty sloped. No real hiking trails here unfortunately, its mostly a fishing/boating park


    Guide to Waite Hill

    Cabin camping near Waite Hill, Ohio offers year-round lodging options within driving distance of Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga Valley. Winter temperatures typically drop to 20°F, while summer averages around 80°F. Most cabin rentals cluster around the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, providing access to numerous hiking trails and fishing ponds within a 30-minute drive.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: At Mosquito Lake State Park Campground, campers can enjoy fishing in one of northeastern Ohio's largest lakes. "The dog park is amazing. There's so much to do here. Swimming, boating, fishing," notes camper Courtney C. Several sites feature direct lake access for kayaking and fishing.

    Hiking trails: The area features multiple walking paths suitable for all skill levels. One visitor to Big Creek Park explains that "Most of the trails are small, well-marked, accessible, and easily walkable for families." Fishing ponds with docks are also available for visitors.

    Archery practice: Some parks offer recreational target shooting. At Mosquito Lake, campers can practice their skills at the dedicated archery range. "We like to bring our bows and use the archery range," says Karen D., who travels about two hours to visit the park at least once yearly.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the separation between camping areas. At West Branch State Park Campground, visitors enjoy "private, spacious, shady sites." A reviewer named Alisa G. notes, "We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite."

    Clean bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality varies across campgrounds but receives frequent positive mentions. According to one camper at West Branch, "Clean individual showers" are a highlight. Another mentioned that "The shower house and bathrooms are large and clean. There is even a book exchange shelf at the shower house in case of rainy days."

    Lake recreation: Water activities rank high among visitor preferences. At Woodside Lake Park, "The swimming pond has inflatables and boat rentals. There's good fishing, and typically lots of activities," explains James S., who stays there multiple times yearly.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Popular cabin sites book quickly, especially lakefront options. "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!" advises a West Branch State Park camper.

    Site leveling concerns: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. At Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA, reviews mention the convenience but note site challenges: "Only an overnight stop during a bigger trip but it seemed nice. They were accommodating to our late arrival and left a map and gate key at the office for the late arrivers. The site was level and easy to hook up to."

    Seasonal operating schedules: Many cabin rentals close during winter months. One campground visitor mentioned that "They offer quite a few wooded and shaded campsites. They offer activities up by the marina with some concession stands, but bring your bike or second vehicle - marina's a trek."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: Family-oriented campgrounds offer structured events for children. At Kenisee's Grand River Campground, a seasonal camper for five years notes, "It's a great place with a lot of events and entertainment for families. Multiple fishing ponds, Friday night bingo, bands, fishing tournament for kids, duck race, Christmas in July and many other activities."

    Nature exploration: Children enjoy discovering local wildlife at many parks. "If your kids are 8 and under they'll love the nature playground and nets provided to catch critters," shares Joe F. about Mosquito Lake State Park.

    Swimming options: Look for campgrounds with beach access or pools. "The swimming hole is cool!" reports a camper at Kenisee's Grand River Campground, while others mention that swimming beaches at state parks provide relief during hot summer days.

    Tips from RVers

    Gate access information: Some campgrounds have security measures requiring codes. "Gated entry with provided code after payment given. We arrived after dark and had a little trouble finding our spot. Only because it was too easy," explains Mary Elisabeth D. about Kenisee's Grand River Campground.

    Seasonal site options: Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday offers dedicated spots for longer stays. "Very nice, clean, and lots to do," notes Richard T., who visited with family members. The campground provides deluxe sites with ample space for those traveling with pets.

    Supplies and provisioning: Most cabin locations have on-site stores with essentials. "Great amenities and very clean bathrooms and showers," reports a Kenisee's visitor, though campers should check individual campground websites for specific amenities before arrival.
