Nice shady campground that is well maintained with many activities for the kids. They have a lot of showers which are very nice. We stayed in site #4 which was on the lake and we loved being able to fish right from our site. I had to work fairly hard to level the trailer since the ground sloped toward the lake. About 10% of the time we could smell the sewage treatment facility (which is near site #1), so you would not want to be any closer than we were. When I made the reservation, the staff told me about the smell and was upfront about it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My favorite RV park of all time. The park is set back in the woods with a large pond/lake in the center. The campsites are situated around the lake with the full hookup sites closest to the gate in a wooded area. I pull a 38' 5th wheel and have never had problems maneuvering into my site. The lake is catch and release and is well stocked. All of the roads are well maintained, the bathrooms and showers are clean, and the staff are the friendliest I have come across. If you have kids they'll love it as there are plenty of organized activities to keep them entertained. Can't say enough good things about the park and the people who run it. The city of Ravenna leaves something to be desired, but Niles is a great little town and is close to the same distance. There is also Newton Falls nearby. None are large cities, but you can get what you need. There is a State Park a few miles down the road with hiking trails, boat rentals, excellent fishing, etc. I count this one as a "destination" and we go out of our way to make it there as often as possible. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a great campground for families. We camped here 4 nights during a long Memorial Day weekend. We camped in a hybrid TT with 3 adults and 4 children, ages 2-14. The bathrooms were a bit messy by mid-weekend, but I figured this was because the campground was packed for the holiday. Otherwise, we had no complaints. There are lots of shady sites and/or lakeside sites available. Most of the sites are a miz of gravel and grass/dirt. There are two pools, one for big kids and adults, and one for little ones. There is a camp store, a pavillion where many of the organized activities take place, a game room, a small movie house, a snack bar, and numerous areas for various games and activities. My famlily enjoyed the Saturday morning breakfast, the Saturday night entertainment, the movie, and the family hayride. The staff are extremely friendly and involved with the goings on. This would be a great campground for dog lovers. They were everyehere, although, for those who aren't so crazy about dogs, we noted that dog-owners were respectful and kept dogs leashed and potty areas cleaned up. We plan to return for more summer fun. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice and clean, it was a warm weekend 80+ which is hot for Ohio in April. Not all of the parks sites were open when we checked in but as the campers kept on coming it seemed that the staff opened another section. Staff was very patient with the large early season crowd and the pesky computer gremlin that held up the reservation process. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Agree with all of the other reviews....Nicest SP in Ohio...Only reason I didn't give it a 10..the road into the park is a "shake your teeth loose" road from the south, and you don't dare come in from the north, there is a railroad track "hill" and it is bumpy and holey and you could scrape bottom or lose something very easily...I am amazed that such a nice SP does not have a nice road to get to it. Maybe they will pave it in the future; in the meantime be safe and come in from the south if at all possible. Other than the road into the park, the park itself is very nice, I think some of the asphalt sizes are really smaller than they state on the reservation site, we reserved a site that said it was 53'; we are only 46' and we didn't feel we could fit into the site at all. So we opted for another site that was available, and still barely squeezed into it with 2 tires in the grass. And yes, the other reviewer is correct when they stated that you will be asked to move if you are in the grass, we saw the park ranger ask one couple to move their vehicles off the grass. All in all, we loved the park and would definitely return next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the nicest government (national, state, county, city) campground I have stayed in. During the past 5 years, I have stayed in about 250 campgrounds. The previous reviews have been right on the money. I believe it is unfair to compare a government campground with a private full-service RV resort - this campground cannot offer all the amenities that a true resort RV park can offer. So, I am rating this campground a 10 even though it has no Wi-Fi, clubhouse, etc. It has a nice woodsy setting with lots of neatly mowed grass in the open areas. Since I had reservations, check-in took about 15 seconds - they handed me my pass and a campground map and I was on my way. While towing your RV, I would not enter or leave the park via the north entrance. The bridge across the railroad tracks has a nasty hump that might cause your RV to bottom out. Use the south entrance near Interstate 76, exit 43. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 7 days over 4th of July in the pet section. Sure it was quiet during the week, and filled up on the holiday weekend, but we never felt crowded. Our camp site (as most were) was quite large and very spacious. The campground Hosts had activities planned such as a bike parade, walks and talks with naturalists and an Ice cream social on Saturday night. The bathrooms were newer and spotless. The showers were actual individual rooms, not just shower stalls and quite spacious they were separate from the restrooms but in the same building. 2 sets of washer and dryers, along with outside sinks for doing your dishes if you wanted to bring them down there from your camp site. Nice camp store with everything from fresh brewed coffee, T-shirts, frozen ice cream novelties to pantry items. Check in took no time and with reservations, you don't even have to get out of your vehicle just pull up to the window and get your vehicle pass. Those were the positives. The only negative we encountered was on the first day, my husband was called into work so he drove separately to help me set up. He wasn't going to stay longer than to un-hitch the trailer and help me with the awning. The girl at the check-in office said it was OK that he didn't have a vehicle pass since he wasn't staying for more than an hour, but the Ranger pulled up and made a BIG deal over our 2nd vehicle's 1 wheel being on the grass. Proceeded to write my husband a $125 ticket for "parking on the grass in a State Park" a law that we didn't know about. After some convincing, the Ranger decided to just write him a warning instead with a stern lecture (my husband is 50 years old) about having his right front tire on the grass. The following day I had photographed 9 boat trailers fully parked on the grass at some camp sites. Somewhat of a confusing State Park 'law'. All-in-all, it's a beautiful park. The Campground Hosts and State Park employees were working all the time at taking care of everything as they and their work carts could be seen often around the park. I'd put this park in the same rating category as that campground in Florida, where that one Mouse lives it is THAT nice!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Fabulous facility! Did not check out the beach but all other facilities were great. It was quiet while we were there, it was during the week. The local roads leading to it sure could use a repaving. Unlimited HP lake. Nice sites on the lake. Wooded and open. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is a model for all state parks. Many shower houses are conveniently located throughout the park. The restroom areas are large and clean. Each shower has a private door that locks with a changing area separate from the shower itself. The roadways around the park are paved as well as the site pads. Most sites are larger than normal and many privately nestled in the woods. Camp host, office staff and rangers are friendly and knowledgeable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We looked for a campground near the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and the reviews were scary. We kept moving our radius out until we hit the reviews of this campground. We were sold. The campground itself is a peninsula into the lake and our site was a peninsula off of that. It had 270 degrees of waterfront. We only had one night but this campground was great. One warning there is a bridge with a huge drop off after it that we crossed leaving the campground that is NASTY. Careful going over it, 20 mph is too fast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped over Memorial Day weekend, and the park was full. The sites are large and there was lots of privacy. Restrooms were clean and adequate, although the timers on the showers were too short. Nice playground. Spectacular lake view (note that speed boats were loud on the lakefront sites). Our first experience with an Ohio State Park and we were thrilled. Our expectations were high with the great reviews and the park met or exceeded them. The only disappointment was that we were told the bike trails were closed due to wet weather, so we didn't bring their bikes. The roads in the campground are all paved and the kids would have had plenty of area to ride if we had brought them.. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed this State Park. It has something for everyone. Fishing, hiking, boating, and a playground for the kids. Some sites are better suited for tents than an RV or trailer. Employees were helpful and courteous. We plan on returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful Park, spacious sites, well paved roads, great place to camp in the autumn. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent!! This campground is top notch. Beautiful park like setting and completely paved. We stayed for a week and never got bored. The beach is nice, fishing is great, and the staff extra friendly. You won't regret staying here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Paid $15 per night for 5 weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) using Golden Buckeye card. This is a beautiful campground. Reservations are essential for weekends. There are only 29 full service sites, the rest are electric only or no hookups. We had site #101 - shade all day long in August which we appreciated. It also appeared to be the most level of all the full service sites. Most sites in the park will require leveling blocks. There are only about 5 pull-through sites (all full service) that would be suitable for big rigs as the length of most pads (all asphalt) is only 30'. The bath houses are all new, clean, and well kept. No sites are really lake-front. Most have a lake view. Most of the sites are very spacious. The only thing I'd want is more of a woodsy feel for a little more privacy. Other campers who'd been there on weekends said the campground was pretty quiet even when full. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the cleanest, nicest state park I have ever stayed in. Sites are large, park has a small store, playground, swim beach, and boat launch. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I always wondered what all the fuss was about this campground. I went there for a day a few years ago and thought it was nice but nothing special. Well we went here to camp for 5 nights and it is special. This is probably about the best campground there is. State park or private this place cannot be beat. The sites are large and built either right on the lake or in the coves and bays of this mammoth man made reservoir. It is a beautiful lake, truly mesmerizing. There is something for everyone from primitive to full hook-up. The shower houses and bathrooms are private and brand new. They are a fully ADA compliant campground. One really nice thing are the dish-washing stations outside the bath houses. Deep stainless steel sinks with hot and cold running water. There is the town of Ravenna about 5 miles away if you need something and can tear yourself away from the campground. Ohio State Parks has done it again. In fact, they out did themselves. Bravo!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wonderful campground roads for bicycles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice place! Big outdoor movie screen, new playground, very clean. Not all lots level even though website says so - call ahead. Laundry machines - a really sweet place to stay. Easy dump & water. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Every state park should use West Branch as the example to follow when it comes to campgrounds. In fact, private campgrounds could learn a lot from this facility. The sites were extremely roomy and mostly grass. The shower houses were all in immaculate condition and looked to be only a few years old. All the roads and pads were in great condition (asphalt). If I had one complaint it might be that there may not be enough room on the pad to park more than one vehicle if you're pulling a trailer and are using more than two vehicles. (One to tow and one for passengers.) They don't allow any vehicles to be parked on the grass. There is however additional parking at the camp entrance so even this isn't a huge complaint. There's a great play area for the kids and a sand volleyball court near the camp office. The park is impeccably clean. Their full hook up sites have very modern electric , sewer and water connections. Everything in the park looks as though it's only a few years old at best (with the exception of the woods in which it is located.) There are beautiful hiking trails all around the campground so if you're a nature lover, this place has it all. The location right on the West Branch reservoir offers fantastic lake views. The lake didn't have an open swimming beach while we were there (May). However during regular summer months there is a small grass and sand beach with concession stand available about a 10 minute drive away on the other side of the lake. The marina associated with the state park has boat rentals which are a bit pricey, but the lake offers open speed areas so it's a great place to go water or jet skiing. We will definitely be returning to this park - hopefully this year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the nicest state park in Ohio. Full hookups, 50 Amp. service, beautiful area, all sites are paved, new roads, new showers. This park has it all. We only stayed one day on our way home, but say a lot of wildlife including wild turkeys. Senior Citizens get a 50% discount during the week. If you are planning to be at this park during the weekend, you will need reservations!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a wonderful campground that has been totally updated in the last 3 years. The shower houses are very clean. The staff is friendly. They have a lot of activities for kids. If you are in the area I wouldn't miss it!!! We have been camping here 6 or 8 weekends a year for the last 2 years. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Really nice state park, probably crowded in summer, near empty when we were there. Not for one nighter if reserve site. $8.00 reservation fee. Weak water pressure but doable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another great state park. Restrooms and showers were redone about 2 years ago, and are state of the art. Private changing rooms and showers with doors that lock. Grounds were kept up to pristine condition, and everyone was friendly. Will definitly be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is Ohio's gem of state park campground. Large clean sites, the BEST bathroom/showers anywhere! GREAT activities (movies, crafts, hikes, etc. ). Just got back from the annual Halloween weekend and had a blast! The haunted trail was great despite waiting in line for 2 hours. I am glad we are close as this is our favorite campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at this park to be close to Cuyahoga National Park. We were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of this park and the activities that it offered! The restrooms were new and very clean! The sites were large and accommodating. The park was a distance from Cuyahoga National Park, but we will definitely stay here again - it is a gem! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

For a state park CG, this was one of the nicest ones I've ever run across. Newly re-built. All new shower houses. Beautifully done. They added several full hook up pull through sites. All the sites are paved and the one I was on required very little to level. Large sites with lots of shade and open areas. Several volunteers help with check in and any problems you might have. Bar none the nicest state park CG I've ever been to! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This state park has made major improvments upgrading sites and adding restrooms and showerhouses. However, the township roads leading to it need repaved. Once you get into the campground road, it's all nicely paved, but the roads leading to it are in bad shape. The shower/bathroom houses are immaculate, with actual lockable doors (not just shower curtains) for the showers. A laundry is also located there. Sites are paved and a few have cement patio pads. I would say they are mostly level to a slight slope. We paid $28 for a full hook up. Many have lake views through trees. On the newly installed full hook-up sites, the sewer tube is located down in the ground accessed through a metal cover. There's not much hand/arm room and it's difficult to get your sewer hose properly seated to it, especially with a 90-degree elbow on the end. This is a really nice state park that has made top notch improvements. I would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
