Ohio RV Park Reviews

Fire Lake Camper Park, Bowling Green – This 96-site Passport America affiliated park can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet long, with 30 amp electric, water, a dump station, clean restrooms and showers, laundry room, store, modem access, and an eight acre fishing lake. Fire Lake is friendly, convenient to Interstate 75, and the best place we’ve found to stay when visiting nearby Toledo .

Kool Lakes Family RV Park, Parkman - A lot of seasonal sites here, and some of the trailers look like they have been here for a long time. The park is very family oriented, with a swimming lake, two fishing lakes, playgrounds, and activities. Full hookup 30 and 50 amp grass sites, LP gas, a store, and a dump station. Interior roads are dirt and need graded, and when we visited the ground was saturated with water from recent heavy storms. The maintenance crew spent a lot of time pulling cars and RVs free that had gotten stuck in the mud. The owners are friendly, and new to the business, and hopefully they will upgrade the sites and improve the property as time goes by.

Van Wert County Fairgrounds, Van Wert - We spent a night at the fairgrounds on our way south for the winter. Popular with RV rallies, the fairgrounds also rents sites by the night to passing RVers. $10 bought us a level full hookup grass site with 50 amp power. To us, that’s a good bargain, and we will stop again.

River Pines Recreational Village, Parkman  –  I’m pretty sure it would be easier to get into the Pentagon carrying an AK-47 and wearing a shirt that said “Kill the Infidels” than it would be to get into this Coast to Coast “resort.” They made it very clear that they do not want anybody but home park members staying there, and have a screening process to keep the great unwashed public at bay. From what I saw of the park, I have no idea what they are trying to protect, except for a lot of trailers on permanent sites, muddy roads, and a high percentage of people “in charge.” Pass this one up and find yourself a WalMart to spend the night. The ambience will be better.
