River, stream, or creek RV camping near Toledo

You might be surprised to learn that Toledo, the fourth-largest city in Ohio, offers endless opportunities for off-shore recreation thanks to its location along the Maumee River and nearby Lake Erie. Maumee Bay State Park spans 1,338 acres on the shores of Lake Erie with a resort lodge, an inland lake, a nature center, an accessible boardwalk trail, and campsites for both tents and RVs. Easter Harbor State Park is another option if Maumee Bay is too busy, while Harrison Lake State Park sits about an hour east of Toledo. Within city limits, Toledo's Metroparks system offers extensive trails, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, guided nature walks, and bird-watching on the 18-mile-long Towpath Trail, plus urban campgrounds like the White Oak Campground. After exploring city attractions like the Toledo Museum of Art and Toledo Zoo & Aquarium, you’ll see that Toledo camping seamlessly blends urban convenience with various options for nature enthusiasts.
