The best luxury RV campgrounds near Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland sits in northeastern Ohio on the shores of the massive Lake Erie. That gives you plenty of water access from the city itself, as its entire north border is shoreline. There aren't many overnight camping options in the city proper, though. Fortunately, the greater Cleveland area has you covered! Cuyahoga Valley National Park is about a half-hour drive south of Cleveland. This lovely green park features a wide range of hiking options. If you're mostly interested in light exercise and scenic views, stroll the 2-mile Ledges Trail loop. For a tougher challenge, tackle the Wetmore Trail. This one leads you through some light streams, and it can get pretty muddy in rainy season. Rather stay close to Lake Erie? Head about two hours west of Cleveland to reach South Bass Island State Park. It's tough to beat tent camping on majestic white cliffs overlooking the Great Lake. You'll need to take a ferry ride to reach the island, but there's plenty to do when you arrive! Rent a jet ski, fish on the shore, or grab a table for a picnic. Note that Cleveland's location means its winters often get bitterly chilly. Expect highs to hover around freezing from December to February, with lake-effect winds making the cold bite hard. Summers are much warmer, usually sitting at around 70 to 80 degrees from May to September. That said, Ohio does get pretty humid in the hot months, so pack accordingly!

Michael’s land is gorgeous and it was heaven to have it to ourselves. We especially loved the trails in the wooded area. There’s an awesome fire pit too. Looking forward to another opportunity to tent-camp there!

Beautiful property. Had so much fun fishing and hanging out on the dock. Very private. It was too chilly to swim but we would definitely go back during warmer weather. Michael was very responsive and helpful.

One of the best places I have stayed. Clean bathrooms and nice quiet atmosphere. This place had an event every night to enhance the family stay and make it great for everyone. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning. Thank you to the great staff at Hi Yo as well. You ladies and gents rock.

For those that can't get by without a shower this is great. The basement level of the cabin has all the house essentials, but you still get to stay in a tent or rv for everything else associated with camping. Our dog enjoyed being off leash at the property and we loves being the only ones there.

We liked this campground so much we extended our stay! The property has 3 ponds and room to stroll and feels like you were away from folks. We had fun fishing in the ponds. The staff are great! If we lived in this part of the country, this would be one of our regulars.

It was so nice to have a concrete patio and Adirondack chairs. Beautiful property to walk around. Our 40 ft motorhome stayed in the shade for most of the day.
