    Goddard Park Vacationland Campground

    Unhappy camper - again

    I told my wife that this was the rotten place that we stayed at before. She insisted that was somewhere else but there we were, all the people complaining about the nasty manager lady as we are swimming by AND the creepy, chubby manager dude with the grey goatee, ogling the little girls a little too long. Why are those people still there?? All she does is sit outside the office and smoke cigarettes and he creeps around. Everyone hates them and will smile to their faces but they're horrible!

    Pros: paved roads, mostly clean bathrooms and two swimming pools. Cons: Teeny, tiny sites. Bingo hall bathrooms are gross. Awful, rotten egg smelling water. The beds in the cabin rentals are rock hard. Horrible WiFi. Good luck if you’re there and the electric cuts out. Very few activities (which you will also hear about"there used to be so many activities" "Lisa never has any activities any more") Good grief, the people are unhappy but I guess, too cheap to move on to a better place? The entire staff complains about them constantly, especially Rhonda in the office. I just came in to buy ice, lady, I don't need to hear about much you hate your boss!

    I would suggest you keep looking rather than tolerate this toxic place and all the unhappy seasonal people and employees. Save your money and vacation time for a nice place with decent management.

    Bear Run Campground

    Loads to do...!

    This campground is deceptively big! The nightly RV sites are close to the park entrance and are relatively flat. The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts& crafts. There is a swimming pool and playground for the kids. It also has a small café that sells baked goods and coffee. On Saturdays they sell amazing Armish Donuts! 

    Further into the campground the sites turn to more permanent sites. Further up the hill are more cottages and camping. This campground is steep in parts and too large to walk efficiently. There is a fenced dog run area and a beautiful lake. All sites have fire rings. There is an onsite laundry, WIFI, onsite dump station and propane refill station. 

    You can also buy ice and firewood. The campground is gated. Lots to do at the campground and lots to do in the surrounding area. They welcome all furry friends!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Breakneck Campground

    Nice little campground

    Our first visit to this campground and we actually found from using this website! We wanted a secluded site and close to Pittsburgh. 

    We arrived around 7pm and there was no check in, we drove around for a while trying to find a spot with a fire ring per some helpful campers. There are two really nice spots by the water which were taken, and we only saw one other in the woods (the other 2 were hidden by a large group of people).

    We ended up finding a flat spot with some tree cover what was far enough from our neighbors but about as close as a bigger campground. Would be good for larger groups. Ton of flat land for tents but saw some people with smaller campers. Firewood is $5 a bucket and clean and dry. Bring a table cloth for the tables. 

    Portapot close by but full bath rooms and showers by main lodge. Lots of tent platforms that overlooked into the woods which would be fun, for a smaller 4 person tent though. 

    As another reviewer stated, there was a super loud group Friday night but Saturday was very peaceful and quiet and we met the owner who checked us in and apologized for the loud group and said he was still getting the campground ready for the season. The price is the same for either spots. 

    Short walk down cheeseman road to trail entrances to McConnells Mills State Park. Short drive to hells hallow or the covered bridge. 

    Overall we had a great time and will be back!

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Great State Park Campground

    We just got back from our first trip to Mosquito Lake State Park Campground. All in all, it was a great experience. 

    We stayed in site 67, which is a waterfront site, with electric. The water is about 25 yards from the pad, but is visible from the entire site. The site was spacious, but not as private as some of the others. There is some woods between this site and the sites on either side, but other sites are visible. The fire pits and picnic tables were staggered, so it created some distance to make it feel more private. 

    The campground as a whole, was very quiet. We stayed from Wednesday to Friday. The group next to us seemed a little rowdy when we first pulled in, but by 10:00 there was no noise anywhere near us. 

    Most sites seemed pretty level from side to side, but where we were, several had a slope from front to back. Away from the waterfront, most sites looked pretty level. The amount of space between sites varied from site to site. Some sites had woods on both sides, while others were pretty open. Some had nice large grassy areas, others were much smaller. Sites from 214-224 are in a cul de sac and are water front, but they were pretty close together with very little privacy between sites, if any. They are very close to the water though. 

    There are bathrooms and water scatter about, but from what I saw there was only 1 shower house. 

    Wal-mart and other shopping and restaurants were about 3 miles away. Park was easy to get to, only one turn for us off the highway. Lake was great for kayaking and paddleboarding. Very nice dog park in a different part of the park. There is a boat launch accessible from inside the campground. 

    Dump station has 2 lanes which was nice when checking out. Fresh water fill up was also located near the dump station.

    Great Park, Close to the Water!

    The amenities are well kept with plenty of space, located in the center of the park. There is also a laundry. They accommodate tents, RV’s and have cabins also. RV dump station and water fill up conveniently located in the center of the grounds.

Guide to Meadville

Cabin accommodations near Meadville, Pennsylvania range from rustic structures at state parks to more developed options at private campgrounds. Located in northwestern Pennsylvania at approximately 1,300 feet elevation, the region experiences cold winters and mild summers, making cabin rental availability variable by season. Several campgrounds maintain cabins with diverse amenities depending on location and price point.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Linesville Campground at Pymatuning State Park offers direct lake access for anglers. "The lake is fantastic for fishing. We have seen the most beautiful sunsets here that you won't see anywhere else. There is an eagles nest on one of the islands," notes AnnaMarie S., highlighting wildlife viewing opportunities while fishing.

Paddling access: Water sports are popular at various cabin locations. "If you are looking to stay at a small state park campground and bring your boat near your site or launch your canoe and paddle board look no further," shares Patience W. about Linesville Campground. The campground provides convenient water access for cabin guests.

Trail exploration: Nearby hiking options extend beyond campground boundaries. At Two Mile Run County Park, trails complement cabin stays. "We came here for a mountain bike race and enjoyed riding the trails," notes Robyn S., indicating multi-use trail availability for cabin guests seeking active recreation.

What campers like

Lakeside views: Waterfront locations provide scenic settings for cabin rentals. At Jamestown Campground, guests appreciate water proximity. "Our site had a great view of the sunsets and the water," reports Kevin E., though he notes some furniture maintenance issues: "The picnic table was a mess however. Most of the wood was rotten."

Wildlife viewing: Bird watching opportunities exist from cabin locations. "The bald eagles sit in the trees not at all bothered by us. Amazing," shares Mary M. about Jamestown Campground, indicating wildlife viewing possibilities directly from cabin areas without requiring additional travel.

Clean facilities: Bathroom access remains important for cabin guests. Erie KOA maintains high standards according to visitors. "Showers were excellent and very clean. The park was very well maintained," states Kelly F., though noting "sites are not level and are very crowded."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts cabin comfort differently by season. Winter cabin options exist but require preparation. "We have stayed at the park for Christmas Eve the past two years. Had the Adirondack shelters to ourselves each year," reports Travis S. about Oil Creek Family Campground, adding "firewood is available but you have to donate some cash, split it and haul it to your shelter."

Campground management: Staff attitudes vary between properties. "Checkin was all done remotely so no issues on rate change," notes Mommy D. at Sparrow Pond Family Campground. However, she cautions about site spacing: "Spots are VERY close together despite the fact it was off season, owners packed everyone into a single location."

Booking considerations: Site selection matters significantly. "We booked a waterfront site and were disappointed to learn that was not actually the case," shares Casey L. about Jamestown Campground. "They need to label them truthfully. The actual site wasn't bad. Bathrooms were nice and clean."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Kid-friendly amenities support family cabin stays. Sparrow Pond Family Campground offers recreational facilities. "There's a little arcade in the campground store also," notes Tracy S., while also mentioning "level gravel sites with grass area and fire ring with a grate for cooking."

Swimming facilities: Pool availability varies between campgrounds. "Nice pool for kids" ranks high for families at Erie KOA according to Jennifer O., who adds: "Our trailer spot was tucked in the woods amongst tents. Nice and wooded. There was a nice playground with a bounce mat that our kids loved."

Activity schedules: Campground events can enhance family cabin stays. "They have a lot of activities. My favorite was the disc golf. Their course is really nice," states Lydia G. about Oil Creek Family Campground, suggesting families check activity calendars when booking cabin rentals.

Tips from RVers

Site layout: Leveling requirements differ between cabin and RV sites. "The site was nice and in a great location with a view of the pond, but wasn't level," notes Matt S. about Sparrow Pond Family Campground, suggesting guests with trailers bring leveling equipment if planning to use their own RVs alongside cabins.

Bathroom proximity: Facility access remains important even for self-contained units. "The bathhouse was clean and maintained," reports Joni P. about Linesville Campground. She adds practical information about connectivity: "We had Verizon cell service at the campground," which may affect remote work possibilities for extended cabin stays.
