      Clay's Resort Jellystone Park

      NO communication and severely lacking customer service skills

      I won’t rate the other categories yet but I’ve been upset the whole process trying to plan my trip and the people have made it impossible. I’m constantly unable to get ahold of the park. I keep getting put on the“call back list” when trying to modify a reservation only for NO ONE to ever call back. I finally get ahold of someone after a MONTH… only to have zero customer service skills… they just said“oh we don’t even have a call list” so I ask for another form of communication I can have with me since my trip is in a month and I’ve had these issues for a month… they offer ZERO solutions and are not empathetic either. Another issue was last year I was hospitalized for several months due to an early twin birth so I had to push my trip to the following year… when I FINALLY got ahold of the park last year the women I spoke with trying to manage the rescheduling…was ZERO help surprise surprise… on top of that it took 13 calls and weeks before a manager got back to me…making the window to reschedule or get refunds closer to closing adding stress that you might not get to make your next move how you’d like… anyway…I simply asked for dates that matched the costs that we already paid for the trip so I didn’t have to pay more… I simply asked for it to be within the summer days since my previous reservation was during the summer time with all the extra water park and amenities that close at the end of August. I booked when my kid could use all amenities and there were no hour restrictions either due to still being in season. However the lady couldn’t accommodate or recommend any alternate dates to suite my trip that weren’t several hundred dollars more… now we started out with a trip all paid for last year with all amenities no hour restrictions to a weekend we had to pay more and are restricted hours wise on the summer amenities. As the person doing reservations you should be able to recommend dates and help me plan the trip accordingly to the money spent and not sit on the other end of the phone demanding I just give you dates…. After our trip we will never plan or schedule anything at this park again. Regardless of the amenities… for families traveling far distances you couldn’t make it anymore inconvenient, difficult, and time consuming for simply planning questions or just getting ahold of you in general. No sorrys…. Just a whole lot of…”hmm that’s weird well oh well, next” kind of attitude. Zero solutions just excuses. So that being first impressions not too excited to find out what we are in for when we arrive. Especially reading other reviews about deflated balls so you can’t use the hoops, broken a/c units that the property won’t even handle that their own employees have to give up their own personal comfort cause management won’t?… concession stands trash everywhere… broken hot tubs, WiFi not working in cabins for night time with children is tough…sad that my family’s first camping trip ever hasnt even happened yet and it’s been nothing but a headache to plan because of the staff. Yall make money to make the experience smooth for your consumers but somebody missed the memo.

      Pride Valley Campground

      Perfect for us

      The campground is well kept. Sites are well spaced. There’s a large clean swim lake, also a fishing lake. Lots of deer and wildlife. Monthly rates are $550 for full 50amp hookup.

      American Wilderness Campground

      Money Grubbers

      Made a reservation. Canceled since wife had to go into hospital due to an emergency. No flexibility in the 7-day prior window. State parks and others have all been decent to us over this. We paid 3 days for a reservation we never used but canceled 2 days out. The park did not fill up so they took our money over a gotcha clause even after I begged the manager for her understanding. Under the circumstances, I was hoping they would compromise and take only the first night, but they are in it mainly for your money, I'm afraid.

      American Wilderness Campground

      Just beautiful

      fantastic place to camp with family and friends! There is always something fun and exciting to do, whether you're fishing, swimming, hiking, relaxing around the campfire, or enjoying the many activities throughout the campground. The atmosphere is welcoming, the scenery is beautiful, and it's a great place to make lasting memories.

      The Caves Campground

      Dyrt didn't pay for reservation, no refund

      Caves is great campground. However they do not honor dyrt reservations. Had to pay at the campground. Sent email to dyrt, no reply. They owe me 400 dollars, and I have not heard back. Dyrt, if you honor, I will update this review- until then, DO NOT USE!!!

      Mohican Wilderness

      Return campers

      We return to Mohican wilderness a few times each year and love the sites we choose right on the river.

      Most sites here are wide open field sites and would not suite our style of camping.

      Bathrooms are typically clean.

      Clay's Resort Jellystone Park

      Overpriced under managed. Great potential.

      I have to agree with all the other reviews. It’s a great facility with a ton of potential it just seems poorly managed. The sites are not up to par with other campgrounds in the same price bracket nationwide. The staff does not have great attitudes and are put off being asked to assist. They say no scooters or electric bikes but there’s a thousand golf carts flying around because realistically it’s not a walkable park. They would benefit from a tram or trolley on busy weekends to go from camping areas to activities. Check-in was rough after hours especially trying to navigate to find your site is extremely difficult. We drug a few trees across the top of our unit. We were originate to have friends take us to our spot or we would not have found it until morning. Underwhelmed for the $180/night camp spot.

      Hidden Acres Campground

      Excellent campground

      Friendly staff. Quiet campground sites. Extremely sociable neighbors. Participated in bingo. Has a great lake, fishing catch and release, and can rent a kayak. Nice size pool. Firewood is available. Highly recommend this campground.


    Guide to Wooster

    Campgrounds near Wooster, Ohio typically operate between April and October, with a few year-round options. Water recreation represents a significant draw in this region, with many campgrounds situated near rivers, lakes or ponds. Most sites provide electric hookups with water access, while full-service sites with sewer connections are available at select locations.

    What to do

    Hiking trails galore: Mohican State Park Campground features numerous trails ranging from easy to difficult. One camper noted, "The hiking trails are great with a covered bridge, overlook and waterfalls. The sites are nice and large with lots of trees throughout the park." Another visitor mentioned, "There are 10 free camp sites for backpackers in Mohican, each is about a mile hike in, no vehicles can reach these sites."

    Fishing opportunities: Hickory Lakes Campground offers a fishing lake separate from their swimming area. According to a review, "Family owned hidden gem. Very clean and well kept. Large sites. Fishing lake and a separate swimming pond that has a sandy bottom with clean water and a small beach."

    Water activities: Multiple waterways provide options for canoeing, kayaking and tubing. At Findley State Park Campground, "Canoes and kayaks are available for renting. Many musicians set up camp and would jam out for some live evening music!" Another visitor noted they "took the kayaks out on the lake and had a great time."

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: Many campgrounds offer well-spaced sites. One reviewer at Mohican State Park remarked, "Well maintained campground with roomy camp sites." Similarly, at Maple Lakes Campground, a visitor appreciated that "this is a big campground where you are not on top of your neighbors."

    Clean facilities: Consistently clean bathrooms and shower facilities stand out in reviews. A camper at Findley State Park noted, "Shower houses are clean. About half the sites are for tent or dry camping. Half have electric and a few of those have full hookups."

    Winter camping options: Some campgrounds remain open year-round. One visitor shared their experience at Evergreen Park RV Resort: "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves. There were only 3 other campers there. It was a great place to stay. Friendly staff and everything was so clean."

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak season. A camper at Findley State Park advised, "Only downfall is trying to find an open spot for reservations. Place is booked most of the time. If you're planning a holiday weekend you need to book 6 months in advance."

    Off-season amenities: Services may be limited in colder months. At Mohican State Park, "First come first serve in the winter. One heated bathroom with a shower is open in the winter. Absolutely beautiful & great trails."

    Site variations: Campsite quality and size can vary significantly within the same campground. One reviewer at Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins noted, "We tent camped and had a private spot in the woods which we loved. The campgrounds covers all the basics."

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity-focused campgrounds: Whispering Hills Campground Recreation is designed for families with children. A reviewer shared, "My family and I had a Blast at Whispering Hills. So many activities for the kids to do and my kids were able to walk around freely without us having to be right on top of them. The jumping pad, mini golf, fishing, basketball and all the other activities were great."

    Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming in natural settings. At Hickory Lakes Campground, visitors enjoy "the swimming pond, it was quiet and easy to sleep, clean restrooms and showers a short walk from our site."

    Primitive camping with kids: Some families prefer more rustic experiences. A visitor to Mohican State Park described the primitive campground: "I am reviewing the primitive campground in the Hemlock Gorge. It is right alongside the river and at the bottom of the gorge. Listening to the river is what makes this place peaceful."

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: Full-service sites vary by location. At Evergreen Park RV Resort, "Every site is full hookup" according to one reviewer, who described it as "a somewhat upscale campground with full hookups at each site - big rig friendly and perfect for families."

    Winter camping considerations: RVers camping off-season should note water limitations. One camper shared their experience at Mohican State Park: "Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off."

    Site leveling challenges: Terrain can affect setup. A visitor to Mohican Adventures noted, "The primitive sites are literally carved out of the side of a hill. The site we chose was on a plateau overlooking the lake and I'd recommend that to anyone!"
