4. Mosquito Lake State Park

25 sites · Cortland, Ohio

Whomever named Mosquito Lake Park obviously didn't understand good PR, but don't let the name discourage you. Nearly 2,500 acres of marshes and woodlands create a beautiful ambiance for your next getaway in Mother Nature. Stroll along one of two trails in the park, where robins and warblers tucked behind purple cresses and beech-maple trees may just move you to tears, or at least to write a haiku. Floating devices of just about every variety are invited to channel the 7,850 lake, and areas like a dog park means Fido is more than welcome on the scene. We doubt the mosquitos will be much of a problem, but if worse comes to worse, you can just light some of those good-smelling candles or load up on the catnip (look it up!) to fend off potential itchy bites.

You can also get into lots of shenanigans in the forested hills throughout the park all year-round. In the summer, wrangle yourself a horse and take a gallop along one of the many equestrian trails, or stick to your feet and explore a maze of hiking trails.When the winter winds begin to blow and a blanket of snow covers the ground, it’s time to whip out your snowshoes and cross country skis, or the horse(power) of the snow—the snowmobile. Finally, if you’re interested in history shenanigans, check out the well-preserved remains of the Erie Extension Canal, which played a major role in the economic development of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Or head over to the charming and historic Kidds Mill Covered Bridge. We aren’t kidding when we say there really are shenanigans for everybody to get into at Shenango River Lake.

Weekend Trip to Stoney Run Primitive Tent Camping

We stayed at site #5 and everything was perfect. The host Curtis and the site. We arrived and noticed he left some dry kindling to start a fire and they have plenty of firewood to purchase. The tent was clean and even had a chair to use. The bathroom was really close and the views were amazing. We definitely will return in the future.

Great, private spot on a beautiful piece of property. My family enjoyed turning over rocks in the creek and cooking over the fire. The tent was plenty large enough for our family of 4 and the toilet was close by. We’ll be back again!

Loved this site - plenty of space for a family, you can use the tent that is there or pitch a few of your own. Several flat spots to put your things. Close to the toilet. You know other people are nearby but it still feels private. Being right next to the water is *chef's kiss* lovely. Everything is clean and well kept. Curtis was great, friendly and responded quickly. Definitely will be staying here again!

Couldn't have been any easier to enjoy a beautiful spot. Can park within 10 feet and it's all flat. There is also a very clean and large tent setup if needed. Water was beautiful along our spot and was great to cool down in. Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet scenic spot that's easy to get to and enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Stoney Run Primitive Tent Camping

Stayed at site 5 this weekend. The host Curtis already had a fire going for me when I arrived. Him and his wife were great hosts. The site was better than expected. I was able to relax in nature and fish right at my spot. There were other campers but the sites are very far apart so you had your privacy. The site had a very large tent already set up for use. So taking down camp the was a breeze. I will definitely be coming back and staying at Stoney Creek camp ground again.
