Countryside Campground

Countryside Campground sits at 2687 State Route 43 in Mogadore, Ohio—a Summit and Portage County border campground in the greater Akron metropolitan area that has built its appeal around a comprehensive family recreation package in a setting adjacent to the Mogadore Reservoir, one of the Portage Lakes chain that defines the outdoor recreation geography of northeastern Ohio's lake-country corridor. The campground's combination of pools, gemstone and gold panning, planned activities, and a lazy river makes it a destination in its own right rather than simply a basecamp for regional attractions. Ninety-five RV sites with full hookup and water-and-electric configurations, alongside cabins and tent sites, provide the camping infrastructure. A swimming pool and lazy river provide the warm-water recreation, complemented by a playground, a mini-golf course, a recreation center, and a game room for indoor activity. Planned activities and hayrides structure weekend programming into a social calendar that gives families with children genuinely planned entertainment across the campsite stay. Gold gem mining — a popular family activity where guests pan for gemstone specimens in a sluice — provides a distinct and hands-on experience that few northeast Ohio campgrounds offer. A dog park, laundry, and general store round out the facilities. Mogadore Reservoir, adjacent to the campground, provides additional outdoor recreation context in a reservoir fishing and water access setting that complements the campground's on-site water amenities with a larger body of water for kayak touring and fishing. The reservoir is managed by the Akron Metropolitan Area water system, and the surrounding reservoir land provides a buffer of green space around the water that gives the Mogadore area a more rural feel than its proximity to Akron would otherwise suggest. Fishing in the reservoir targets largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and channel catfish. Akron is the nearest city of scale, about 10 miles northwest, with its Cuyahoga Valley National Park trailhead access in the Cuyahoga River gorge, the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens Tudor Revival estate, and the National Inventors Hall of Fame museum that reflects Akron's industrial heritage in rubber manufacturing and polymer chemistry. The Portage Lakes State Park chain south of Akron provides additional public lake access to the interconnected lakes that make this corner of Ohio a genuine lake country destination with a density of public water access that distinguishes it from the less-developed lake regions farther east. Cleveland is approximately 40 miles north, with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Great Lakes Science Center access for day trips. Countryside Campground operates through the Ohio camping season, typically May through October, in a northeast Ohio climate where the lake-influenced moderate temperatures extend the comfortable outdoor camping window somewhat beyond the more continental interior. Summer weekends fill quickly for a property this close to the Akron-Cleveland metropolitan area, and the planned activities calendar reaches its peak from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the full programming schedule runs. Spring and fall visits offer the campground's recreation infrastructure at reduced density, with the Portage Lakes fall fishing season in September and October providing particularly productive angling.

A water park, splash pad, outdoor pool, and inflatable water toys anchor the summer, with a hot tub, sauna, and spa alongside. Mini-golf, laser tag, an arcade, jumping pillow, gaga ball, gem mining, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, corn hole, and a beach fill the grounds, with a lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.

Rustic Acres RV Resort & Campground

28 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

A back-in full-hookup category with a private backyard joins pull-through tiers at both amperages, with EV charging, a craft room, and a dog park. Twenty-nine sites span back-in full hookup 30-amp with backyard, back-in, pull-thru full hookup 50-amp, and pull-thru full hookup 30-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The site with a private backyard is a genuine find. EV charging is still uncommon at RV parks. Six tent sites and two glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, showers, firewood, RV storage, and a craft room handle the practical side. The resort is LGBTIQA+ friendly. A playground, community fire pit, dog park, and creek fill the grounds.

Offroading, boating, a state park, and wine tasting are nearby, with productive birding and live music through the season. The property has run as a family retreat for more than 65 years, in Clarion County near the Allegheny National Forest. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead for October.

Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Three tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, arcade, ball field, billiards, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and swimming filling the rest. A state park is nearby, and the dark rural sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Bedford County sits where the Allegheny Mountain ridges meet Shawnee State Park's forested plateau, and the old Lincoln Highway corridor has carried travelers past this spot since the road was built. Historic Bedford's preserved downtown, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and Blue Knob's skiing are all within reach, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike close. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Alleghenies. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and peak October color.
