    Mill Creek Camping — Berlin Lake Wildlife Area

    Bad experience

    Stayed here on Saturday night of July 4th weekend. Arrived after hours without a reservation. No information on how to self register or which campsites were available even though some sites are first come first served. Found an open site, set up and went to bed. There were fireworks (prohibited) and the campsite next to us played loud music but it was before quiet hours so we didn’t mind. The loud music turned into a party with alcohol (prohibited) and the loud music continued way past quiet hours. No campground host or personnel did anything about the noise/party. At 12:30am we moved campsites because we couldn’t sleep. We saw sheriff patrolling the campground - don’t know why they didn’t quiet the offenders.

    The campground is large with many sites so the probability of inconsiderate people is higher. I won’t be returning.

    Mosquito Lake State Park Campground

    Big, beautiful lake!

    Great park! Sites are spacious and level. Very clean park. There are several full hook-up sites. Electric sites near the lake. We stayed at site #96. New Bathrooms are under construction. Campground is flat and great for bike riding. Nice playground for kids. Dog park nearby. Camp is near beach & marina. Also many shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive. We will definitely be coming back to Mosquito Lake!

    Mill Creek Camping — Berlin Lake Wildlife Area

    Busy, but not too bad :)

    Stayed a night here near the end of June after a rainstorm. A few quick highlights:

    1. Because there are a ton of sites, you can expect one thing: variety. There are plenty of aluminum Airstream, Winnebago, fifth wheels, pull behind, and tents. You can expect to find a little bit of everything here.

    2. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, Mill Creek might not be for you. Most of the sites seem to be typically pretty packed. Generally, people respect quiet hours, but with sites so close to each other, noise is a factor.

    3. The surrounding area seems to be pretty spartan. There’s a grocery store about 10 minutes up the road, a bait shop about three minutes away, and a drive-through (with some light groceries and drinks) about two away. Nice enough folks in all three :) Super helpful and accommodating.

    4. Berlin lake seems to be the big draw. Plenty of boats, jet ski‘s, kayaks, and swimming opportunities. If that’s your thing, plan accordingly and you won’t be disappointed.

    Overall, Mill Creek is a pretty solid site within driving distance of Akron / Canton. I’ll be back, with adjusted expectations.

    Quick tip: My particular site was pretty muddy upon arrival. Granted, that was after a bit of rain. But it wouldn’t hurt to bring an extra pair of shoes ;-)

    Oil Creek Family Campground

    Secluded shelter

    We found the shelters accidentally during a hike in the park and returned for an overnight. We found parking nearby so it was just a short hike to get to.

    I believe it's once a year that they have oil machinery demonstrations. Very interesting. You can also take a train ride through the park.

    Tomlinson Run State Park Campground

    Well kept park with good spot spacing

    Stayed here the first weekend of October.  Nice spots and many have good spacing from your neighbors.  Pets are welcome.  Facilities are older but well kept.  Bathhouse is heated with showers that have a fiberglass tub surround, not concrete.  Nice hiking trails that connect through the campground.  Hiking trail maps are not great but the trails are marked well. The Lake is a good walk and looks good for kayaking and fishing.  Brought our kayaks but it was a bit too cold.  Big wide spots are 11 and 16.  Nice hammock hangers on the non-electric spots.

    Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

    Quiet, peaceful, close to all the things

    We stopped here for a couple nights to go to a Cleveland Guardians game and go to Cuyahoga National Park. It was within great proximity to both and had all the amenities the kids and I love. Swimming (wish it were open a little later…) laundry 24/7, a game room, store with just what we needed to pick up a few things, a pond that seemed to always have someone fishing at it (that’s a good thing) and a big wide sites to spread out and have a nice campfire in. (Wood available 24/7 and trash pick up at the site in the AM). It’s always nerve wracking when the fire pits are close to the rigs - loved that these sits were wide. And while there are likely people here it feels nice and spread out.

    Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA

    Good location but expensive for what you get

    Pros: closest camping to Cuyahoga National Park, safe, professional (labeled envelopes with information at check-in and wood delivery) Cons: bathrooms weren’t cleaned or restocked as frequently as necessary (overflowing trash cans, TP empty by 5 pm), shower curtains/showers had mildew, truly dirty bathroom floors, had to drive 1/4 mile to the one trash dumpster, unlevel sites

    One more thing: there’s a significant raccoon and skunk problem along the section with water/electric back-in spots. We got to know our neighbors very well over two nights as we helped each other fend off multiple raids by entire families of raccoons and one very large, very bold skunk. We lost two camping chairs to the skunks because there was no way to fight them off once they moved into our shelter and, even without spraying, skunks tend to leave a scent behind on anything that’s fabric.

    The price is okay in that it is the closest to the national park and the next closest campgrounds are the state park campgrounds (West Branch and Mosquito Lake), but the state park grounds are MUCH nicer and about $15 less per night. If you have the time to drive and can plan your trip months in advance to get reservations, West Branch is a better alternative.

    Ranger Review: Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce at Oil Creek Family Campground

    Campground Review

    I can honestly say that Oil Creek Family Campground is the best private campground that we have ever camped at. Especially if you’re camping with kids, it offers everything that you would want for a ‘great American summer’ style camping experience, without being a cookie-cutter big-name private campground chain. They have a large pool; a few llamas that the kids can feed and pet; a 27-hole disc golf course (recently expanded from 18 hole) primarily in the woods near and around the campground property; a small pond for sunfish / bass fishing; a dog ‘playground’ (enclosed area with some obstacles); a well-maintained hedge maze; a pavilion with ping pong, a pool table, and foosball; a DVD rental program at the main office with about 300 movies; and a small camp store with a small selection of books that you can borrow. They also provide weekly entertainment for the kids, e.g. rock painting or special guests. This weekend, for instance was ‘Jungle Terry and his amazing exotic animal family.’ We don’t typically spend a ton of time actually AT the campgrounds when we’re camping, but we did this weekend - and we had a blast on the disc golf course, fishing in the pond, and playing ping pong. The kids had an awesome time in the pool for hours and running around with the other kids in the maze. And everyone agreed that it was a perfect way to wrap up the summer before the school year starts.

    We have a pop-up and my parents (whom we were camping with for the weekend) use a tent, so we had two water+electric sites in the tent camping area away from the RVs: sites A7 and A8. The sites in this area are well-maintained and LARGE, with plenty of room for a pop-up or multiple tents plus one or two vehicles, plus lots of room around the fire ring. There are smaller bathrooms placed around the campground as well as a center bathhouse located adjacent to the pavilion with 2 shower stalls and an additional toilet per gender.

    We chose this campground due to its proximity to Oil Creek State Park. The state park itself does not have a campground, and OCFC is right next door - in fact, the campground hiking trail loop has a very short connecting piece to the 36-mile Gerard hiking trail that runs through the park. The park is beautiful with a lot of history (it is the site of the world’s first commercial oil well, and where the oil industry began in the United States around 1860) and Oil Creek - which is really a river - runs right down the middle of the park. It is a stocked creek and it’s great for both trout and bass fishing. Some parts of the creek also have a lot of northern water snakes (we saw 4 near the Blood Farm day use area) which was cool to see.

    Overall: fantastic campground in a beautiful part of Pennsylvania - and we will absolutely be back.

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get occasionally receive products to test or gift cards for new companies to check out.  Over the past weekend, we tried out one of the Mountain House favorites, freeze-dried Lasagna with Meat Sauce in the #10 can. Lasagna is not exactly a typical camping food, so the fact that we could easily make enough lasagna to feed a group of six people (4 adults and 2 kids) just by heating up some water was wonderful! We made the entire can (boil 8 cups of water, pour it into the can itself, stir a lot to mix up all of the freeze-dried ingredients, and let it sit for ten minutes - EASY) along with some crescent-roll wrapped hot dogs over the fire and it was like a gourmet camping meal. Everyone loved the lasagna - even the two picky kids!


Guide to Sharpsville

Camping options near Sharpsville, Pennsylvania range from state park sites to private campgrounds within a 40-mile radius. Located in Mercer County at an elevation of 1,200 feet, the region experiences four distinct seasons with warm summers that make lake access camping particularly appealing from May through October. Overnight temperatures can dip below 55°F even in summer months, making proper preparation essential for yurt camping and tent stays.

What to do

Swimming and water activities: Mosquito Lake State Park offers excellent swimming with both a campground beach and a larger beach across the lake. "We stayed at site #96. Camp is near beach & marina. Also many shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive," notes Heidi B.

Hiking and nature exploration: West Branch State Park provides multiple hiking trails through wooded areas. "There are many scenic hiking trails at West Branch. Bridal trails are located on Esworthy Rd," shares Alisa G. The park also features "a newer dog park near the intersection of Rock Spring and Esworthy roads."

Fishing opportunities: Berlin Lake Wildlife Area offers numerous fishing spots along its shoreline. "Great fishing and great family place," mentions Jim L. about the Army Corps camping area, which provides "nice boat dock" access points throughout the park.

Historic site exploration: Visit McConnell's Mill State Park near Breakneck Campground for covered bridges and historic structures. "From our campsite we walked along the creek into McConnells Mill State Park and joined the covered bridge trail. Approx. 30min walk along the creek," explains Britt B.

Biking adventures: Pymatuning State Park has excellent biking potential. "Bringing our bikes was a blast as we were able to bike down to the beach for swimming and we took our bikes to Meadville to do the Ernst bike trail," says Leah L., describing it as "a paved, flat, easy 6.3 mile cycling trail through the woods and along the river."

What campers like

Large, private campsites: Mosquito Lake State Park Campground offers spacious sites, particularly appreciated by tent campers. "The sites are huge. The dog park is amazing. Theres so much to do here. Swimming, boating, fishing," shares Courtney C., though noting "no real bathrooms except at the front of the park. No place to wash dishes. Rough if you're tent camping."

Clean facilities: Pymatuning State Park's Jamestown Campground maintains excellent bathrooms. "All bath houses and restrooms are handicap available with each toilet and shower set up individually. Really nice," reports Robert H. The park also offers "nice shower and bathrooms for a state park."

Waterfront access: Mill Creek Camping provides affordable lakefront sites. "Low cost for staying ($18 for a waterside, spacious site for up to 8 people, 2 tents at no additional costs)," notes Katie. Another camper adds, "We booked a lakefront site and it is just gorgeous! We have our own private little beach which our dog loves."

Yurt camping options: For those seeking yurt camping near Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping offers climate-controlled yurt accommodations. "We stayed in a cabin with a few friends. It was a great area with a lot to do around it!" shares Sienna B. about the property that includes yurt options.

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds offer themed weekend events throughout the camping season. "Halloween weekends are a great time to visit!" mentions Terra B., with another visitor detailing events like "Pumpking Carving Contest, Voting On Pumpkins, Dance Party."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most popular campsites require advance booking, especially waterfront locations. "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!" advises Alisa G. about West Branch State Park.

GPS navigation issues: Some campgrounds require specific directions rather than GPS navigation. At Mercer-Grove City KOA, "We use both the RV Garmin 890 & RV Trip Wizard and both had us doing some crazy side roads to get into the KOA. Be sure to use the park's directions for an easier drive in," warns Jen O.

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven sites. "We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches. The jack was down as low as it would go and we were still off by 1.5 inches," reports Andrea F. about West Branch State Park.

Seasonal opening dates: Most campgrounds operate from May through mid-October. Pymatuning State Park runs "mid April to mid October" while Adventure Bound Shenango Valley operates "May 1 to Oct 15."

Noise levels vary: Some campgrounds enforce quiet hours more strictly than others. "We got about 2 hours of sleep Saturday night total, and the last time I was woken up my watch said 3:48 am. Clearly there is absolutely no enforcement of the quiet hours whatsoever," reports Sara K. about one campground's party atmosphere.

Tips for camping with families

Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas: Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest offers numerous activities for children. "Tons of activities to keep the kids busy all day!!" shares Pam O., with other reviews mentioning "bikes crafts, rides, super nice staff and the hey ride was a blast."

Consider water-based recreation options: Mill Creek Camping provides excellent swimming opportunities. "Very nice and clean campground with many access point to the the lake," reports Renee G., adding that "nearby to the campground, about one mile South there an animal sanctuary, Noah's Lost Ark."

Seek out campgrounds with weekend programs: Many local campgrounds run organized activities. "The park office loans games and sports equipment to campers... An ice cream social is held on Saturday evenings that my children always love to attend," mentions Alisa G.

Check bathroom proximity for tent camping families: When tent camping with children, bathroom location matters. One camper noted at Mosquito Lake, "No real bathrooms except at the front of the park," which can be challenging for families with small children during nighttime bathroom trips.

Evaluate pet policies if traveling with dogs: Policies vary significantly between parks. "I didn't like that pets are not allowed in the non-pet area as that was where the playground and swimming beach was. Made it difficult to swim and play as a family since you can't leave dogs alone at the campsite," shares Jeani B. about Pymatuning.

Tips from RVers

Check site specifications carefully: Many campgrounds have sites with various limitations. "The sites are large, private and some on the water. Clean restrooms and great staff," reports one visitor about a local campground.

Prepare for limited hookup options: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups. At West Branch State Park, "The water fill is on an incline so when our tank was 'full' pulling away from fill station it was really only 2/3 full," notes Andrea F., explaining this was "okay for a short weekend but not good planning from who ever designed the park."

Consider early arrival time: Some campgrounds charge for early check-in. At Lake Milton KOA, a camper reported their father-in-law "got there around 12:30 in the afternoon and they charged him $15 for early check in."

Look for campgrounds with dump stations: For those without sewer hookups, convenient dump stations are essential. "They permit non guests to utilize the dump site at a small fee $20 (during non peak times)," notes Donna M. about Lake Milton KOA.

Plan for varying site spacing: Site proximity differs widely between campgrounds. "Level, wooded sites and clean bathrooms. Lots of space for each sites and trees for shade," reports Kelly F. about one campground, while another mentions sites being "very close together" with "no privacy at all."
