Beautiful campsites under tall Pines. Easy access to water for kayaking and fishing. Quiet.
This is a hidden gem in the Akron/Portage Lakes area. Quiet, very clean, well maintained it is beautiful. There is no water nor sewer (dump station at exit) and the children playground is minimal, but to get away close to home for a few days, it is perfect. Boat launch ramp (electric motors only) and decent fishing at campground. Kayakers will love the quiet smooth lake. Camping is by RESERVATION ONLY, so dont just show up and expect a site. 6 Electric only sites, the other 23 are primitive. Pit toilets at campground but no showers. Since this became a metro park (used to be a state park) it has undergone a remarkable transformation. If you havent been here for a few years, you owe it to yourself to try it again. Easily a 5 star rating for this type of minimal campground.
Love the camping and floating on the lake. Great place to fish! Campground prices may be a little on the high side, but its totally worth it!
A quiet campground by a nice lake. Some spots are great and others are horrible. We unfortunately got one with zero privacy and 3 neighbors right on top of us. Poison ivy is also rampant here so be cautious if you are susceptible.
Clean, quiet and very tranquil. Perfect place to collect your thoughts and have a picnic, go kayaking or fishing.
My family and I love going fishing here, all year around.
$30 a night? Little high in my opinion for a small square piece of grass.
Very few beautiful camping area, just big enough for my car and 20 foot trailer. Cost is a little high for no connections, $25 a night plus a $3.50 fee. Dump site and trash available on premises.
Camping spots are larger than most places. Quiet for being a metro park. Toliets were kept clean.
Very clean and well kept
The metropark is doing a good job here. The place is clean and kept well. Nimisila reservoir is small engine only. So there is canoeing kayaking fishing but there is no swimming in the lake.
Quiet, clean, State Park.Fishing swimming, camping, boating.
Great place for primitive camping! You can see the stars so good out here! The bull frogs and crickets create an ambient song at night. There are private locking restroom stalls that they clean out every morning. There are no shower houses. Very family friendly. There is playground equipment for the kids. Everyone keeps to themselves.The park is usually pretty quiet, And the ranger does rounds for safety every half hour or so. There is a private dock for campers and also a public small water craft launch near by. Youll also find walking paths. The park is pet friendly and also provides baggies for the pupps potty. Garbage bins, recycle bins, and large pavillion by public launch. There is also a place for camper waste during departure. Plots are decent size and easy to access. This campground is open year round as far as I know. The fee per night is low and well worth it. Raccoons come at night, so make sure to put away food and lock your coolers before the fire goes out. Bug spray is a must!!
Wonderful camping area. We had an amazing weekend here. The campsites have been revamped and updated. The playground is new and has also been updated since the camping area was reopened. Nice quiet atmosphere, well patrolled and great fishing. Would give 5 stars if the more convenient small swimming area were still available on site. Still, Portage Lakes State Park beach is just a few minutes drive and our family loves the location. Far enough out to relax and get away, close enough to town for all the comforts of home.
75% of the campsites are gone.And the lemmings just sit here and applaud because they dont know any better >:(
Most beautiful place. My favorite!
Always enjoy going here and trying to catch a fish
Its a Great Family and Friends Park to go Fishing and Camping and Free Parking and God Bless U All
We stayed here twice. The campground was very cleanand quiet. Can’t wait till they have the new well done. We enjoyed our staySeen a lot of good changes
Camped here last year, was absolutely a great time. Cant wait to camp there again soon
Great
Super nice trees.
Nice, relatively secluded sites. One large downside is that the picnic tables are tethered to the ground very far from where you would like them in most cases.
Empty,most of Lake frozen
A fun place to stay . Huge lake lots of small boat ramps great fishing .
Great but nowhere around to shower :(
Love this place..been goin there for ever!!
Nice place to stay
Great day of fishing
I had a good time !
Nice peaceful Campground
Fishing
Nice local campground
Very peaceful
A little noisy at night due to its close proximity to several neighborhoods and main road. There is a hiking trail to the remote areas of the park.
