Silver Springs Campground is owned by the City of Stow, and operated by the Parks and Recreation Department since 1976. Nestled in Silver Springs Park in the Northeast corner of Stow, it is one of only a few municipally-operated campgrounds in Ohio. The City has been providing outdoor recreational opportunities at this site for over four decades, and the public has really taken advantage of it. They appreciate being able to enjoy the outdoor camping experience so close to home.

Campers have access to many amenities throughout Silver Springs Park while camping, including fishing at Heritage Lake, hiking on the trails in the woods, tot lot fun at SOAR playground, dog exercise at Bow Wow Beach, active recreation at the tennis and basketball courts, and throw-together games and activities in the many open fields. The campground is also adjacent to the Metro Parks’ Bike and Hike Trail. The facility has 27 campsites, some open and some shaded.

Silver Springs Campground

We really loved this little spot! It appealed to all of what we were looking for, our camp host was awesome. There was even a dog park within walking distance- a lot of trails to explore too. No showers and the Porto potties weren't the cleanest... But they were functional. Very hospitable locals- we were invited to a square dancing party that evening in the park! Very comfy and safe.

Lots of options!

Spoke with Department Office who was very helpful in pointing me to the current reservation web site.   5 Star rating is only based on interaction with telephone staff.  Will update review again after visiting.

PSA: Use updated 2021 Website for reservations

Great campsite. Connected to the Stow Silver Lakes Park with everything you need minus the showers

Amazing Place, No showers

Gave it an extra star for proximity to Cuyahoga Valley NP, bargain price for a site with electric hookups, quiet setting and helpful hosts. No road noise, other campers very considerate. Sites are grass or overgrown gravel. Semi-level. Our first visit at site #1 was very difficult to level a 24 ft trailer and full sun. Returned a few weeks later to site #4,  was much more level and full shade. There is also a wooded walking trail network on the east and North sides of the campground.

Good base for Cuyahoga NP visit

Cute little campground tucked away right in a city.  Bigger lots.  Nothing is very level.  Everyone extremely nice.  No shower houses; running water and toilets a long walk away; portapottys very close.  Perfect for a self contained camp. 

Everything you need, nothing you don't 

Had electric and port-o-johns as described. (One restroom with running water down over the hill that closed at 11pm) the place was exactly as described in their website. The site Manager thT would make his rounds was very kind and helpful, giving us tips and telling us about the local area.

Quiet area, you can hear the peeper frogs in the early spring.

For the price I would definitly camp here again.

As described

Right nearby there is a dog park called Bow Wow Beach:-) our dog absolutely loved it! We biked from our site! 

Amazing park! 

Silver Springs Campground is a small 27 site campground in Stow, Ohio, a convenient 17 minutes from Cuyahoga Valley National Park and a bargain at $18/night for a site with electrical hookups. 

  

While there isn't much to say about the privacy at this campground, because you are generally just staying in a field, the manager was absolutely wonderful and gave us all kinds of maps and information on Cuyahoga National Park when he came around to check us in. 

  

The campground can get very muddy during the wet season- the town offers a good description of each campsite on their website and we found the descriptions, as well as their warnings about flood potential, to be very accurate. Our site had a large mud hole, so we joked that we had a waterfront campsite and just rolled with it- the sites were large enough that we didn't have to park near the water. 

  

Despite having a dog aggressive dog, we were able to check out Bow Wow Beach nearby because we went early enough in the morning that nobody was around. The dog park is really fun and offered a great opportunity for our dog to run around before we got back on the road. 

  

We were really happy with this campsite and would definitely return at some point if we needed to visit Cuyahoga again.

It's Just a Field- But the Staff (and Dog Park) are Wonderful!

Small open campground with pretty basic sites, electric only with no water or sewage at the sites amd no shower facilities. There are portable bathrooms located throughout campground. Some sites have trees and some are full sun. The campground attendant was a very friendly man who asked several times if we had questions about the area. We stayed here so we could go to a concert at Blossom Music Center which was around 20 minutes away. Bow Wow Beach Dog Park (in the same park area as the campground) was awesome if you have dogs that like to swim or just need to get some energy out after being leashed while camping. Would visit again especially if another act we like plays at Blossom.
