Very large campground!…read more I highly recommend bringing bikes or renting a golf cart if staying here. We booked in advance on the online system. It can be a bit confusing because they want you to pay extra for a specific site. The campgrounds prices are on the higher end and more than we traditionally pay but we like to do at least one camping splurge each year. We ended up getting site 340 at check in. It was along the river which was great bc my kids enjoyed playing in it. However so did everyone else in the campground so our space didn't have a lot of privacy. Lots of people cutting through it to go to the river. They had several events throughout the weekend. We decided to try the Easter egg hunt on Saturday. It was a big disappointment. Even though we showed up at starting time the eggs were already gone and lots of empty handed kids. I think they laid the eggs out early and kids came early and picked it up. They had a cool indoor rec area for the kids. We did a craft that the kids enjoyed and went back after the water park but it closes at 7 so the timing didn't work out. Even though they said they would be open the next day we rode by several times and it was closed on Sunday. The water park was nice. Although crowded the kids enjoyed the pool and water playground. They also had wibits for adults and kids. Included is also kayaking or paddleboarding but there were not many paddles to use. The campground also has put putt, a bounce pad, volleyball, covered basketball court, playgrounds, restaurants, and cornhole. I recommend bringing your own life jacket. Although no real listed trails there are lots of areas to hike. There are only 2 shower houses in the campground so showering was a challenge getting a stall and having hot water. 2 dump stations if your don't have a hook up at your site. Everyone had a great time!

Just got back from a weekend tent camping trip here. Communication leading up to our stay was…read moregreat. However, that was the only good part. Family friendly? Hardly. Our campsite was right next to cabins. We heard f-bombs and rap music talking about sex and drugs all night- which was great exposure for my toddlers (NOT!). After searching ridiculously hard for a park security phone number, I was finally able to submit a noise complaint. The guard told the perpetrators we were the ones who made the complaint so they harassed us all weekend. We had people walking thru our campsite all the time. The bath house stayed dirty with trash on the floor, dirty toilets and dirty shower stalls. The cleaning crew came thru but you couldn't tell what they did because everything was still a mess. The app is only half way functional and is full of links to 404 pages and old phone numbers. The Adventure Park was the best part of the stay. The lake, splash pad and water playground were awesome! But it was full of entitled, rude guests. There were plenty of life guards to patrol the water but not much staff for anything else. On Sunday, we went to the Rec Center for activities with a bear. They no-showed for 3 activities. We waited nearly 90 minutes and saw no sign of people in the Rec Center. We talked with the staff in John O's and they tried to help us, but were not successful. This was our second and last time staying with a Jellystone campground. We stayed at Mammoth Cave and had a very similar experience. I'd rather stay at a state park and only pay a fraction of the cost. The campground is not all that close to town, so I hope you're able to pack in what you need! Our campsite was a complete after thought. They had just mowed and weed eated and left bunches of grass and tall weeds all over the ground. And the ground was saturated from the water spigot that constantly leaked. We had huge rut from the lawn mower in our site and that stayed soggy from said water spigot. There was no guidance on how to contact park staff nor for check out. When we left, there was nobody at the check-in station, so I left my mirror tag on the desk and left because I got tired of waiting around. Huge let down. I found old episodes of Yogi and HB Friends to amp up my toddlers and get them excited for the trip. We were all excited for the trip and it was a total bust of a stay.

Great place to take in the scenery of Lake Erie and launch your boat or personal watercraft!…read more There's ample parking and it's always packed during the warmer months. The entrance is right at the end of an intersection, so traffic can be a pain sometimes, but luckily I live within walking distance! They also have a fishing pier and there's Miller Park right next door with a mini beach and picnic areas. It's a great place to get some fresh (sometimes fishy) air and listen to the Jet Skis zoom by.

There was this little girl with rosiest cheeks I've ever seen laughing as she walked with her family. She and her siblings were laughing and running with her siblings. This made me smile as I thought those are great parents taking their kids for w walk in this winter wonderland. It was in the 20's but it felt great. I'm so thankful for all of our parks in Ohio. The waterfall looks so pretty. The trails are not difficult to do. There are your slight inclines, with snow and ice it can be a little slippery just slow down or make sure you have proper footwear. People on the trail are pretty friendly and will say hello as they are walking by. You got this!!

It was a fabulous fall day and my wife and I decided to spend part of it at "Headlands Beach Park"…read more We have been there many times over the years with family and friends. It never ceases to amaze. The parking is never ending. The beach goes on forever. There is an abundance of picnic areas, grills, pavilions, and public bathrooms. The walking trails are more than a mile long. And then there is the lake... that big beautiful lake. It is just a fantastic place to spend a day. Go with friends. Take your kids and grandkids. Or just go by yourself and enjoy the sand. It really is fantastic.

There is a main trail that loops around and borders the lake. Most of the rim there is foliage blocking the view but there are a few open spots and the overlook spot if you want a view of the lake. I would recommend verring onto the Northern Harrier Trail which was our favorite. Felt very whimsical with all of the wildflowers and deer. This is an excellent spot for birding. Saw a few groups with binoculars. I broke our my bird call app and had dozens of birds identified that we then tried to find. Very fun! The trail itself is pretty short but it's worth doing a few laps if you've got the time. Or taking it really slow to soak it up. There is large parking lot available. Google maps takes you right to it.

We were looking for a simple, no-fuss walk along Lake Erie, and this spot fit the bill. If you're…read moreexpecting dramatic vistas or Instagram-worthy scenery, you'll probably be underwhelmed. There's a small bench with a partial view of the water--pleasant peaceful. The trail itself is flat and easy, though the lake is mostly hidden behind a solid wall of brush there are a few spots w nice views. Still, it was quiet, uncrowded, and gave us what we wanted: a short, peaceful stroll without any surprises. Mission accomplished.

The toilets at the campsite were cleaned out every morning we were there. It also felt safe, it gave a sense of being more remote because of the tree density, but not so much that I was worried about anything. The lake is beautiful, they had kayaking available which was fun! No swimming in the lake though. But there were plenty of of other campers who were out fishing at the lake. I would definitely recommend camping here! I wish we could have checked out more of the trails around. Overall rating: 5/5 stars

It looks like you are able to rent the canoes to go fishing on the lake or bring your own. The boathouse wasn't open to find out any more info on this campsite but I would recommend taking a look at it.

It is also the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania by surface area (925 Acres). All I know, it's a great place to visit. You can go swimming, boating, fishing, and more. There is a public beach, and some private ones. There is a nice park (Ice House Park (also on Yelp), and even an Amusement Park (Conneaut Lake Park) here. Lots of amenities nearby also ... Big Cheers!

Conneaut itself is kind of strange with the creepy abandoned looking amusement park, and the super haunted Conneaut hotel. We drove right through the amusement park and hotel until we reached a parking lot right on the lake. I think this is a public beach area right next to the tiki bar. I was impressed by how clean it was, and how beautiful the nearby lake houses were. The tiki bar was busy in the middle of the hot summer day. We walked right onto the dock for their boat! It was super easy and convenient. The lake itself is clean and pretty! We took the boat out to the sandbar at the flagpole in the middle of the water. It was only a few feet of water in some areas and kids and dogs could stand. The water felt amazing - 76 degrees! The bottom of the lake at this point is very sharp, so we had to wear water shoes. The lake is really beautiful and this is a great day trip from Pittsburgh.

I didn't spend too much time here so I'll have to come again. This marina sits on the corner of Rocky River and Lakewood but the actual address is in Lakewood, Ohio. THINGS TO DO -- There are some benches close to the marina for you to sit and watch people on their boats or sit to just admire the nice houses up on the cliff. There is a section to rent Kayak's. If you have a boat, there is a dock where you can load and unload your boat. If you prefer not to get on the water, there is a walking path along the lake. Also, the big park is across the marina where families gather to have a picnic or enjoy the great outdoors. I recommend coming here for a fun filled day spent in the great outdoors. **** - 32/200 total reviews in 2020 - 408 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 19 July 2020
