Nice nature, pretty clean,
Have came to this campground approx. 50 years. Lots of walking trails, lots of nature. Once off my favorite local ohio parks.

great except weather, but the park is a favorite of mine. came lots of times when I was a child, brought my 2 boys every year when they were young, now enjoying same park in retirement. lots of walking trails, beach not so perfect, only 15 spots with full hook up, but is a great place to get back with nature. shut off the social media, and enjoy.
Findley State Park is well maintained and has a good mix of tent and trailer campers. The shower house was modern and very clean which is a blessing if you are a tent camper. The trails were not overgrown and I would give a difficulty level of 2. It was a very quiet campground that seemed very family oriented. Plenty of wildlife to run into whether it be deer or raccoons.
This is our favorite local campground. It is close to the city and the park has nice trails and many things to do. The campground is very well maintained and the most of the sites are spacious. Would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful state park with lots of trails and a lake. Took the kayaks out on the lake and had a great time
This is a pretty nice campground. There are quite a few trails and a lake with a beach for swimming. It can get fairly crowded if you are here with a trailer that requires electrical hookups since there are only so many sites available with electric but if you do not require electricity, you can get spaces away from the people and have a nice bit of privacy. The park itself is kept clean and if you avoid the bathrooms in the busiest area then those are pretty clean as well. We will be back for sure.
Classic woods car/trailer camping. This is our families "home" park since it is so close. There needs to be a lot of cleanup, the woods inbetween sites and overrun with dead and falling trees. Overall it is just as I expect from year to year ever since I was a little kid.
Findley State Park was our family's getaway! Living in Northeast Ohio, you have the "benefits" of a big city, yet you are within a half hour of solitude and good trails.
While there are several fantastic places to camp within an hour of Cleveland...FSP was our "go-to!" It didn't take us long to pack it all up and head out for a quick weekend, weekday or overnight stay.
We have camped at Findley State Park in every season, and each season holds it own beauty. Fall color change is brilliant with its yellow, orange and reds! Winter brings great (yet sporadic) snowfalls...where we have Xcountry skiied and tented (only pit latrines are open at that time). Summer is pleasant and affords dips in the swimming area. Fishing is superb...and wildlife is abundant.
The trail system is very well maintained and marked. It makes for great daily hikes and enjoyable trail-riding. They do offer a challenging mountainbike trail...but be forewarned...it is not for the beginner.
Peak times and holidays are super busy...and wall-to-wall campers and people. Weekdays are usually sparse...and shoulder season weekdays you'll have the park to yourself.
What I enjoyed most was the flat water paddling. Here, even if it was busy, you can escape the crowds and enjoy nature. If you get the itch to go, check out: http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/findley for all the details.
This was my first visit to this campground. It was lightly occupied, especially for a summer weekend. Plenty of shady campsites, good balance of primitive and camper sites. The hiking trails provide ample entertainment. Oddly, the high point was the shower house. Either new or remodeled recently, it was clean and comfortable (not always a given!) Overall a pleasant experience. I'd go back again!
The state park was mostly empty and we spent a great night there. The campsites are nicely sized and there are many tall trees. For some reason we awoke in the middle of the night and found the sky clear and an immense number of stars aglow. We found the drinking gourd that people followed on the Underground Railroad. The photos didn't turn out but laying in the middle of the park road looking up at the immensity of the night sky was uplifting.
We drove in to the college town of Oberlin for dinner and walked around the campus. One building was open and we took the opportunity to relive the college days. It is a beautiful school full of historical buildings. While walking around we also came upon an albino squirrel. Our efforts at photographing it brought some joy to a local woman who was walking by.
On the roads around Findley State Park, Amish horses left road apples all over the road. The Amish lead interesting lives based on what we saw of them while riding through.
