Campgrounds and RV parks near Brimfield, OH

Water recreation is the anchor. West Branch State Park covers 2,650 acres of lake with unlimited horsepower boating, and campers can bring their own boats and watercraft. Facilities include four boat launches, and swimming is only permitted at the beach, and fishing targets bass, walleye, crappie, catfish, and muskellunge. On land, the park offers biking, boating, swimming, fishing, disc golf, picnicking and hiking, and campers can launch a boat and play one of the two disc golf courses right from the campground. There are also bridle trails and a fenced dog park. Families staying at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Akron-Canton get pools and organized kid activities on site. Day trips are short: Cuyahoga Valley National Park and its scenic railroad sit less than an hour north, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton is a straightforward drive south.
