Best RV Parks & Resorts near North Springfield, PA

Virginia's Beach Campground in North Springfield offers full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. The Erie KOA in McKean provides pull-through RV pads that accommodate big rigs with 50-amp service. "Nice clean and spacious place with very nice amenities, though slightly overpriced," noted one visitor about the nearby Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake. Presque Isle Passage RV Park features gravel sites that can fit large motorhomes, though reviews indicate the sites are not always level and some are positioned close together. West Haven RV Park maintains paved patios at many sites and is located just west of the Erie metropolitan area.

Seasonal availability varies among these parks, with several operating from April through October. Most campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends when Lake Erie attracts heavy tourism. A recent review cautioned about nighttime lighting at Presque Isle Passage: "Being close to a gas station/truck stop means very bright lights on all night, also close to the highway so there is constant noise." Sanitary dump stations are available at most parks, and pets are generally permitted throughout the area. Some parks like West Haven provide amenities such as fishing ponds and swimming pools, while others focus primarily on providing reliable hookups and basic services for transient RV travelers.

    Thousand Trails Kenisee Lake

    Great spacious park with 2 lakes!

    Kenisee Lake RV Resort Thousand Trails in Jefferson, Ohio is a another great Thousand Trails park! This park is very large and has a park-like setting with 2 lakes. There is fishing on the lakes and the campground has rowboats available to use. They have all the amenities a family could want such as swimming pool, playground, mini-golf, and more! The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Kenisee Lake has 30 and 50 amp FHU back-in and pull-through sites. The only downside is the internet which is lacking in this area. We have really enjoyed our stay here and will be returning! 👍🏻😬

    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!

    Geneva State Park Campground

    Monster Campsites!

    This park has huge campsites ! The pads are paved and they left a section of trees/woods behind each site to provide some privacy between neighbors. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. The park is directly across the road from the paved bike trail which leads to the beach, marina, lodge and strip area. The trail is dog friendly but the beach is not. The campground is also pet friendly.

    Shenango Campground

    Huge COE

    After getting off I80, our RV GPS wanted to take us on a wonky route, so we followed Waze and the campground’s(CG) web instructions that took us across the causeway on N. Hermitage Rd, then a right turn off on Birchwood Rd, which led us to take a left turn back across N. Hermitage Rd to get back to the Shenango Rec Area turn. Once we got to the CG, check in was quick and very easy. Just happened, our next door neighbor/camp host checked us in and told us we could get water off their site so we proceeded straight to site 199 that’s a back in with electric(50/30 AMP) only plus one of the better spaced sites in the CG. We had to maneuver a couple of times to get into the 90 degree site but the road was wide with no obstacles to prevent swinging into the site. We quickly found out that our 50 AMP connection had issues and after reporting it, a maintenance crew came within 20 minutes and fixed a bad breaker. We got 3 bars on Verizon and a handful of OTA channels. Due to the amount of mature trees, satellite would be iffy depending on your site. There are no FHU sites(camp host sites have electric& water). Electric sites are centrally grouped within the loops and spaced closer together than most COEs. The majority of the sites within this CG are dry camping and they too are fairly close together. The sites right on the lake were all dry camping. With all the dry camping sites in this CG, its nice that they allow generator use during non quiet hours. Quiet hours here are 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. There are water spigots periodically located within the loops and the CG map identifies where they are. There’s also a two-lane dump station located near the entrance but there is no potable water. There are signs stating no alcohol in the park, but people were openly drinking. We also noted that the contractors who clean the restroom/shower facilities start early in the morning and close the facility while cleaning, which was inconvenient for the dry campers just waking up. If we were to stay at this CG again, we’d come during the week and get a dry camping site on the water.

    Uncle Johns Elk Creek Campground

    Elk Creek Trailers Beautiful Campground

    We stayed the night after picking up our new fifth wheel trailer in Boise. The staff at Elk Creek Trailers was helpful and the shuttle to the stores were convenient. Easy access for the trailers as well. Quiet and convenient. We found it to be the perfect stop on our way south so stayed again two weeks later. We camped at the river but still love Elk Creek Trailers when traveling in our travel trailer. We camped at Elk Creek Campground in a Travel Trailer.

    Follys End Campground

    Great No Frills Camp!

    This place has an old time feel that me of good times past. The sites are generally spacious, and are gravel based. The driveway to the camp seemed to be recently paved. The owner is very friendly and is on site. Camp office was geared towards fishing but was very interesting. Bathrooms were clean and the grounds looked good. Was very quiet at night and generally even on the weekend. I have not seen prices this low before. Definitely will be back to try the trout fishing!

    Pet friendly, propane available, WiFi available near office, AT&T service good, Large stream runs along the property, and it was a nice hike up it!

    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.

    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.


Guide to North Springfield

Campgrounds near North Springfield, Pennsylvania cluster along Lake Erie's shoreline, approximately 800 feet above sea level with seasonal temperatures ranging from 20°F in winter to 80°F in summer. The region features both wooded inland sites and lakefront camping areas, with most campgrounds located within 15 miles of Presque Isle State Park. Summer camping often requires bookings 2-3 months in advance.

What to do

Fishing at the campground pond: At Thousand Trails Kenisee Lake, campers can fish in either of the two lakes on property using complimentary rowboats. "The campground has rowboats available to use. There is fishing on the lakes and the campground has all the amenities a family could want," notes a visitor.

Miniature golf: Campers at Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake can play on their well-maintained course. "Very nice mini golf and good ice cream. Camp store was fully stocked and had the only gas in town," according to a recent review.

Swimming options: Most area campgrounds maintain pools, though availability varies. "The kids enjoyed the gaga ball pit and fishing in the KOA pond," reports a family who stayed at Erie KOA. In warmer months, Presque Isle State Park beaches provide swimming alternatives within 15-20 minutes of most campgrounds.

What campers like

Lake Erie sunset views: Virginia's Beach Campground offers direct lake access with a 25-foot drop to the water. "Our site was right on Lake Erie. There was nothing except a drop of about 25' to the lake. There is lake access for swimming, boat launch and Jetsons etc," shares one camper.

Clean facilities: West Haven RV Park receives praise for its upkeep. "The site was kept nice & loved the brick pavers patio. Very clean & quiet. Fishing pond & pool are so nice too," says one reviewer.

Space between sites: Site layout varies significantly between campgrounds. "The sites are not level and are close to each other. They do have a pool but that's it," notes a camper about Presque Isle Passage. For more privacy, some campers recommend West Haven: "They moved us to their more separated site but they kinda explained it on the phone as being private."

What you should know

Limited tent camping options: Most RV sites near North Springfield, Pennsylvania primarily accommodate recreational vehicles with fewer dedicated tent areas. At West Haven RV Park and Campground, "They were extremely nice and accommodating, but their idea of secluded and ours were very different. When we arrived our site was right next to others."

Noise levels vary: Some campgrounds experience highway noise. At Presque Isle Passage, "Being close to the gas station/truck stop means very bright lights on all night, also close to the highway so there is constant noise."

Utility challenges: Virginia's Beach Campground has reported water pressure issues. "Our only complaint is we had extremely low water pressure so we filled our tank and used our pump. Problem solved!" Cell service and internet can also be spotty: "Zero cell service. Zero WiFi. Zero internet."

Tips for camping with families

Look for youth activities: Erie KOA offers daily entertainment for children. "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."

Consider off-season visits: Area campgrounds become less crowded during weekdays and shoulder seasons. "We stayed for a girls weekend in Geneva at one of the tent sites. The tent area was small (this is mostly an RV Park), but it was a good spot to stay!" notes a camper at Kenisee's Grand River Campground.

Check playground conditions: Playgrounds vary in quality and safety. "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," reports a visitor to Sun Retreats Geneva on the Lake.

Tips from RVers

Arrival planning: For late arrivals, call ahead to arrange check-in. At Thousand Trails Kenisee Lake, "I called because I was going to arrive late past closing hours. They checked me in over the phone and left all of my site information on the outside of the building."

Site selection: At Erie KOA, RVers recommend certain areas: "Camped in the back behind the pond in popup camper. Nice and quite back there and close to the bath house and wash station. There is more privacy between sites and lots of shade on the loop around the pond."

Leveling requirements: Some campgrounds require additional leveling equipment. At Presque Isle Passage, "Sites are not level and are close to each other. They do have a pool but that's it."
