Towpath Trail Peace Park offers a convenient stopover for trail travelers, especially those cycling or hiking the towpath. The host, Joe, is frequently praised for his friendliness and wealth of local historical knowledge, making interactions enjoyable for campers. While the site's proximity to roads and a railway may not be ideal for light sleepers, earplugs are often recommended and provided. The campsite itself is noted for its cleanliness and accessibility, though some maintenance like mowing could enhance the experience.

Towpath Trail Peace Park was a decent place to stay! Joe was really nice and wanted to share so much history about the area, which was awesome! The food grade hose was helpful for us to hose down after 60 miles on the towpath. The spot is close to a somewhat busy road and there is an active rail line close by so if you’re sensitive to car and train sounds while trying to sleep, maybe pack some earplugs! A sweet calico kitty visited our tent in the morning and hung out while we packed up. What a delight! I would stay there again.

Thank you, Joe, for the campground right on the towpath trail. I had a good night’s sleep during my bike trip and enjoyed talking with you and learning about the local history. It’s also convenient to Bolivar with a bike trail the whole way.

Good hosts make for good camping, and Joe is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I'd absolutely recommend this campground to any trail travelers headed this way.

Actually I was not able to use my campsite. I thought it was on the part of the Towpath on the Ohio to Erie Trail, but it’s about 12-15 miles south of that location. Instead I stayed in Massillon Hampton with my fellow riders. That said, the site looked nice and the price was right.

Went tent camping at Towpath Trail Peace Park and was not disappointed. Joe is super friendly and is a great source of information on local history. There is a railroad nearby but Joe provides earplugs for sound sleeping, which I thought was pretty thoughtful. The trails are beautiful. If I'm coming through this way again I plan on stopping back by. Highly recommended!
The host was great - super nice man. The website said it could accommodate trailers up to 45’. Our caper is 26’ and we couldn’t fit in the driveway. We had to stop traffic in two directions to get out. If you’re in a trailer, don’t go here. Again - very nice host. Not a place for campers.

Peace Park Campsites on the Towpath
Clean campsite, the grass is mowed nicely. The fire pits are clean and the tow path is within view of the campsites. Joe was super friendly and told us the history of the property and surrounding town. The portable bathroom needs some work and in my opinion needs to be cleaned more often. Other than that nice stay for the night! Thanks Joe!
Great site with a lot of history. It’s not every night you get to camp inside the Erie canal. Joe met me as I was setting up and gave me a history lesson on the area. I wish I’d had more time to spend learning about the region. The site is well situated and easy to find. Nighttime trucks on the County Road and a couple of trains might disrupt your sleep. But it’s worth it to stay in this unique location.
Joe was really friendly and full of stories and his sites were nice. We chose the site furthest for more privacy and it was really cozy with logs to sit on, a fire pit and a good amount of space for the family tents
I appreciated Joe’s friendliness! It was nice to have a porter potty to use the restroom and a solar powered place to charge cellphones. I like the accessibility to the trail and Joe’s knowledge of the native Americans.

Peace Park Campsites on the Towpath
Being close to the Towpath, this site is very convenient for hikers, backpackers, and cyclists who want easy access to the outdoors. John, the owner was out of town and stated on the phone that his vision for this site was always to cater to that crowd specifically, but it has grown and expanded to reach other vacationers on Hipcamp. John was lovely - cordial and provided expert knowledge of the area, with lots of suggestions on where to visit in the short time we had (only stayed one night). He recommended the drive-in, which we did go to and enjoyed.
We arrived late, so finding the exact site was a little difficult as there is limited to no signage and no lighting guiding your way in the dark. We accidentally drove to the house at the end of the drive and woke up the residents there - they graciously pointed us back down the drive to the campsite. We were then greeted by another gentleman who was entrusted by John to handle the site in his absence. It was a little awkward and an uncomfortable exchange. If I had been by myself, I might have chosen to leave, but together we decided to stay for the night and leave in the morning.
The handicap portable toilets were also VERY full, which made us not want to use them, although the space was impressively clean. We also appreciated the picnic tables and firepit with provided wagon of wood.

Peace Park Campsites on the Towpath
Joe is very friendly host. Great local historian. The property sits close to a road and a railroad but neither bothered me. I see why he offers free ear plugs for light sleepers. His location in relation to the trail can’t be beat.
Awesome spot right off the tow path. Wish I could have stayed to enjoy it but after several delays I ended up getting there after dark and had to leave asap the next morning. Being 105 miles by bike from my start was a big plus for me.
Next time I pass through I'll hang around haha.

Nice property, right off of the towpath. I did an overnighter on my bike, this place was perfect for that. It's a short ride into town for restaurants. Also Joe was super nice, very knowledgeable about history of the local area and his property specifically.
Joe was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the areas history, which was very interesting to learn about. The campsite was well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. Campsites are extremely close to towpath access (basically next to it) and close by to the river so you do not have to go far for outdoor recreation. Will be back soon!

Very convenient to I 77, and Joe is a great host. Very knowledgeable about interesting local history too!
When you are walking across America from coast to coast there are not many campsites along the way. It is a real struggle to find a legal and cheap place to spend the night, so having this campsite was a real blessing. I would recommend it to all long distance travelers on foot or bicycle.

Very basic camp spot, but ideal for access to the towpath. Some yard work/mowing would help keep the bugs away. Joe was informative and responsive.
Want a easy going place to relax.... this is it... good parking... enough location for tents and tables and games... close to river... right on the walking trail... price was decent and wood price was satisfy... would stay here again... to bad the river was up so this was strictly a camping trip
I recently had the pleasure of staying at TTPP, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a serene environment that instantly made us feel at ease.
The campsite itself is beautifully maintained, with clean facilities and well-organized spaces that cater to tents. The natural beauty surrounding the area is simply breathtaking, with lush greenery, picturesque trails, and a tranquil lake perfect for fishing and kayaking. Each morning, waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle rustling of leaves was a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
What truly stood out, the owner/operator went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Providing helpful tips on local attractions , their dedication was evident in every interaction.
In conclusion, TTPP Campground offers a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and camaraderie. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway. We will leave with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return soon.
