  Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

  Nice Huge CG

  Nice huge CG with mostly long term residents. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. Good FHUs. A lot of amenities for things to do. Laundry facilities were clean with good machines. We would stay here again.

  Lampe Marina Campground

  Sunsets and Sunrises

  We came for a quick visit and enjoyed a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Large spaces and easy access to the pier (ramps available for all to enjoy ) We would love to return and enjoy a much longer stay. FYI -several dump stations so no waiting!

  Geneva State Park Campground

  Woods, Water, and Quaint Town Nearby

  Brought the pop-up to Geneva State Park over Labor Day weekend and stayed in site 83. The experience was excellent. The site was wooded and ample, with plenty of distance between us and our neighbors on all sides. The bathrooms were fine, and we never had to wait for any bathroom facilities even though the campsite was completely full. The camp store was well-stocked and had some necessities and some extras. We heard standing water could be an issue at some of the sites, but we did not encounter that. After waking up to a thunderstorm at 4:00 am the first night, we fell back asleep and found no standing water at our site when we reawakened a couple hours later. Lastly, cell service in the park is excellent.

  This was my 7-year-old daughter's first camping trip, and she had a blast. It took us about 20 minutes to hike to the beach, which was pleasant and had its own facilities and parking. The trail continues down a bit to the creek and marina as well. Away from the park we visited Geneva-on-the-Lake, which is a very short drive away. There we played some arcade games, putt-putt, and had ice cream.

  Note that not all campsites are the same at this park, as some areas are closer together, and some are not wooded. Also note that the opportunities for fishing from shore seemed to be limited within the vicinity of the campground. If you're dead-set on fishing, you may want to check out a charter from the local marina.

  In all, however, an excellent facility that has a good range of things to do, along with traditional woodland camping.

  Erie KOA

  Fun time for a family

  Fun little campground with friendly staff and wide open spaces. Clean bathrooms, great pool, fun little game room. The playground got 2 thumbs up from a 4 and 6 year old. There was a movie night every night. Close to stores (15 mins). The KOA is close to Presque isle and the amusement park, which is a fantastic place for kids. Sites were a good size and comfortable to be around.

  Chautauqua Lake KOA

  One Nighter

     Although this is a KOA Holiday, we used it as a KOA Journey on our way to the Catskills. Not too far from the Interstate & there was no highway noise at the campground. 

    We arrived right at 5pm, which is when they close up, but Victoria went above & beyond & took us right to our site. Good thing, since we were at the back of a confusing layout.

   There are sites in this section that have a partial view of the lake, but they looked like seasonal sites. All the sites looked well cared for. We had a pull through on Chestnut Drive.  Y1

  If you have kids, most of the activities they would be interested in are at the front entrance. If you don't have a golf cart, you may have to drive to the front for the pool, mini golf, basketball court & jumping pillow. 

  It doesn't look like they have many cabins. 

   There's another playground in the back that was getting used. There was supposed to be a splash pad, but I didn't see an evidence of that. 

  The bathroom/shower house are duel toilet/showers. Not my favorite, but we didn't have any trouble getting in. 

  We used the back exit on our way out, which was convenient. At least we didn't have to go back to the front entrance!

   BTW, Victoria is a treasure! She's friendly & goes above& beyond for customer service. We really appreciated the time she took with us.

  Woodcock Creek Lake Park & Campground — Woodcock Creek Lake

  CAMPGROUND IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!

  Campground is closed.  Roads are a minefield!  Park by the dam is nice and so are the trails across from the dam.   Trails by the campground are very nice, once you get through the mine field to them.

  The Farm at Grand River

  Family Friendly idyllic farm get away

  My 6 year old daughter lived her farm animal dream life for a week! The hosts were so accommodating. My daughter loved the free movie nights under stars, running wild with the goats, and the play grounds and play houses kept her busy for hours! The eggs were delicious, I spent time by the fire, in a hammock, and soaking up the sunshine. It was the rejuvenating experience I needed. I will definitely plan to stay here again!

  Warner Road Dispersed Camping in North Harmony State Forest

  Not sure you can camp overnight

  Like the other review, this site has a lot of litter. Clearly people are camping here at times but there are posted signs that say Day Use Only. It was quiet and dark.

  Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake

  Back again 2024 July 4

  Again it is a nice large place with activities all day for all ages. Pool was great due to temps being in the 90s. Not all sites are full hookup and 50 Amp. The street lights suck as they fully illuminated our sites. Fireworks were OK.

  Warner Road Dispersed Camping in North Harmony State Forest

  fine site, messy

  The site was fine, fire pit, primitive spot so no services. We arrived late at night so couldn’t see so well but stopped in a clearing on the road toward the coordinates.

  Kind of a gross site, the previous people who stayed at our site were messy and left litter, but it served its purpose as a free place to sleep along a longer trip.

  Tionesta Recreation Campground

  Nice campground with full hook ups. Close to a large recreational lake with hiking trails and a boat launch. Sites were fairly level no issues with power fluctuations and sewer worked great!

  MillBrook Resort

  Pretty nice

  We stayed here with our Coast to Coast membership, so it was good for that price. The main restroom/shower house is attached to the office. There are 5 restrooms with flush toilet and hand sanitizer scattered around the park. Most all of the sites are back in. We stayed at a site that shares a pole with water and electric hookups with 3 others. The first time I connected to the internet at our site, it connected right away with good quality. For about 30 seconds. I never got internet at our site again. It is good in the game room by the office, but there isn't anywhere with air conditioning to sit. AT&T has one bar of signal. Many problems getting internet with that. We did enjoy the indoor pool. Until it became crowded with kids. So, we went to the swimming pond. It was quite nice. We took out a paddle boat. They offer paddle boats, canoes, and rowboat to use for free. The one we had wouldn't steer. We went in circles to the right in the middle of the lake for 45 minutes before we got it back to the dock. I think it needs more trees.

  Very relaxing place

  This campsite was close to an archery tournament for me. It is a huge campsite that is remote and peaceful. I will try to get this place again next year.

  Weekend Getaway

  We will definitely be back. The sites are very level, so setup is a breeze. There's plenty of spots to go fishing and hang out by the lake, plus different things to do in the area.

  Follys End Campground

  Nice spot

  Sites aren't on top of each other. Best sites are along the river and store has lots of fishing supplies. Wifi was too weak at my tent site and Verizon service was mostly unavailable. The site has a tire rim fire pit and picnic table with electric and water. Gravel pad where I parked was nearly level. Bathroom was cleaned the day I used shower and hot water was good. Prices for the site was $31/night and this was early season. I'm in a pickup with rooftop tent.

  Sparrow Pond Family Campground

  Great campground near Lake Erie

  We stayed at Sparrow Pond Family Campground for a special long-weekend to view the Total Solar Eclipse. Their normal season doesn’t open until later in April, but they opened for 5-days for people like us who wanted a good spot for the eclipse. Since the normal season hadn’t yet opened, not all amenities/facilities were open but they put on a lot of activities to make the stay fun. 

  THINGS I LIKED: 

  • Easy access to Lake Erie and Presque Isle State Park 

  • Clean and well-maintained property with lots of activities 

  • All of the RVs appeared well-maintained without trashy-looking seasonal sites 

  • Nice campground with friendly camping neighbors 

  • Friendly and responsive staff interactions 

  THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

  • The site was nice and in a great location with a view of the pond, but wasn’t level 

  WOULD WE COME BACK? 

  Absolutely, this is a nice place with plenty of things to see and do in the area 

  HOW I CAME UP WITH MY STAR RATING:

  ★★★★★ everything was perfect with no room for improvement

  ★★★★ this is a great place with one or more minor flaws

  ★★★ average in all ways— not great, not horrible

  ★★ major issues or poorly maintained, we wouldn’t likely come back

  ★ a terrible place in my opinion and I’d never return

  Willow Lake Campground

  Great Location

  My family stayed here for a weekend while visiting the Geneva area. This was a very nice, very secure campground that isn't far from a lot of attractions and wineries in the Geneva region of Ohio's wine country. But at the same time, removed enough to be quiet and relaxing. We honestly could have spent several more days here. Our site was a big rig site, so we had no trees, but it was still nice. This is a place we could definitely go back to.
