Countryside Campground in Mogadore and Streetsboro-Cleveland SE KOA house upscale glamping accommodations just a short drive from Tallmadge, Ohio. These boutique camping sites feature comfortable canvas tent options and deluxe glamping structures with amenities far beyond traditional camping. Countryside Campground provides direct access to Mogadore Reservoir for water activities while maintaining premium glamping facilities with electricity and comfortable furnishings. "We stayed at this nice little spot with 4 kids, the hound and my wife," shared one visitor who appreciated the clean facilities and convenient amenities. The Streetsboro KOA complements its glamping options with three small ponds on the property, offering scenic water views from select premium accommodations. Both locations maintain climate-controlled glamping units available during their operating seasons, with Countryside open May through October and Streetsboro KOA running from early May to mid-October.
Seasonal activities enhance the glamping experience at these locations, with Countryside Campground organizing special events like Halloween trick-or-treating between campsites and pumpkin decorating. One reviewer noted, "Kids trick or treated and all campers were very friendly. Due to cooler temps pool was closed. The small putt putt course was still open for kids to play." Both glamping destinations position visitors within 30 minutes of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, allowing for waterfall hikes and scenic trails as day trips. The Streetsboro KOA maintains a swimming pool with views overlooking their lake, while Countryside offers a pathway through the woods to the reservoir where glampers can fish and kayak. Woodside Lake Park provides additional unique glamping experiences in the Tallmadge area, with premium accommodations available from mid-April through October.

ScoutWe chose this campground based it’s prox to Brandywine Falls, Cuyahoga falls and Chagrin falls. Very clean and well maintained. KOA Bath house trailer was very clean, easy to utilize the outdoor kitchen.
GuideStayed 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.
TravelerGreat 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!
LegendStayed a night here near the end of June after a rainstorm. A few quick highlights:
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.
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.
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.
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 ;-)
LegendWe 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.
TravelerPros: 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.
ScoutAlways a great time at West Branch. The staff are very friendly and care a great deal about the quality of everyone's experience - they inspect and clean each site after the sites are vacated. The quiet hours are truly quiet, the bathrooms are very clean and fresh. Decided to rent a pontoon for the day - the boats were also very clean and well kept - they also have the option of an inner tube or jet skis if you want to rent those as well!
GuideWe 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.
GuideRelax, breath, and camp. Perfect spot.
This Campground is quiet, full of fun, for families or older people.
Beautiful area.
Many pull through lots, with patios. 50. 30. Full hookup, (sewer and Electric) back in, pull through, tent sites, cabins, teepees. Swimming pool, private bathrooms and showers. Fishing lake, swimming lake, trails. Children play areas. Basketball, bad mitten/volleyball, Dog wash, dog parks (2), private fenced dog sites. (2)- pull through site.
Golf cart rentals, and seasonal sites that are being updated, but all are decorated nicely, and kept up.
KOA is revamping some of this campground. Work in progress, but awesome stay.

Winter camping is available year-round with temperatures ranging from below freezing in January to mid-80s during summer months.
Waterside recreation: Several West Branch State Park campsites provide direct lake access for boaters. "We're at site 160. No electricity, no hook ups, but a HUGE lakefront site. We're in a self contained RV so it's not a problem for us. Beach is right next door too!" notes reviewer Rino S.
Fishing opportunities: Mill Creek Camping at Berlin Lake Wildlife Area offers affordable waterfront sites with open swimming and fishing access. "Low cost for staying ($18 for a waterside, spacious site for up to 8 people, 2 tents at no additional costs)," reports Katie, who appreciated the "numerous fishing and open swimming opportunities (basically anywhere you want along the water)."
Trail exploration: Trails at West Branch State Park Campground range from short woodland paths to longer hiking routes. "There are many scenic hiking trails at West Branch," mentions Alisa G., who adds that "bridal trails are located on Esworthy Rd."
Private waterfront sites: Campers consistently praise the lakeside camping options. "The camp is beautiful. Opportunities for disc golf, archery range, canoing/kayaking/row boats, swimming (no lifeguard) and golf," notes Rebecca G. about Punderson State Park Campground.
Clean facilities: The maintained bathrooms and shower facilities make extended stays more comfortable. "The bathrooms were clean, the showers we nice and the pool was well kept. Each site comes with a fire ring and picnic table both in good condition," writes Kathryn P. about Countryside Campground.
Seasonal activities: Rivers Edge Camping Area offers free primitive camping with some unexpected amenities. "The porta potty was very big, clean and had hand sanitizer! In the morning there were many runners in the park but they stayed away from the camping area," shares Rebecca K.
Site conditions vary significantly: Many parks have uneven terrain that can affect your setup. "The site was level side to side, lots are pretty tight in that area. Advice - get there early or you'll have many vehicles and campers to watch for as you back in!" explains Joe F. about his experience at Countryside Campground.
Water quality considerations: Some campgrounds have mineral-heavy water. At Mill Creek Camping, Sarah K. notes, "The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because both times we have been here, the lady at the check in drive up window seemed very confused to where it came off as a little rude."
Reservations essential: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially waterfront sites. "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!" advises Alisa G. about West Branch State Park.
