Conneaut Lake Park

RVers camping at Conneaut Lake Park's Camperland just have to walk across PA-618 to get to the attraction, which makes it very easy to get to the fun. The campground has 74 campsites for RVs and 56 of them have full utilities. The other 18 have electric and water but no sewer. Guests also have access to the playground, store, showers, laundry, and restrooms. Be sure to book a spot in advance because they fill up fast during the busy season from May through August.

For those who could not get a reservation or do not want to be so close to the action, Pymatuning State Park is only 15 miles to the southwest. There should be no problem finding a spot since they have over 400 campsites. Another fantastic place to camp is the Andover / Pymatuning Lake KOA, just 19 miles from Conneaut Lake. The KOA has over 100 sites with electric for rigs up to 45 feet long. Kids will love the playground, games, and pool and the adults will love the adult lounge.

Conneaut Lake Park is a bunch of fun in a compact space, so getting around should not be a problem. With just 200 acres, the park is fairly easy to navigate. For those with mobility limitations, wheelchairs are welcome as are strollers for those with kids. The park has a plethora of benches and other seating areas to take a break when needed as well.

Pack shorts and summer tops if you plan to come between June and September because the temps in summer are typically in the 80s. However, it gets much cooler at night, so it is best to also pack long pants and hoodies or a jacket. In fact, in May, it has been known to drop into the 40s, so you may even need a coat.

Conneaut Lake Park does not have any restrictions on bags or backpacks, so guests can bring what they need into the park. However, it is good to remember that some items cannot be taken on rides if they are bulky or may become airborne during the ride. Many visitors use fanny packs or just put their needed items in their pockets. No coolers, food, or alcohol are allowed inside the park.

Grab a pocket-sized bottle of sunblock or sunscreen to reapply throughout the day and a water bottle, as long as it is not in a glass container. Sunglasses and hats are also important to keep the sun off faces and out of eyes. Just remember that these items will have to be removed on some of the rides.

Be sure to pack the basic cooking and eating needs like pots and pans as well as plates, napkins, wet wipes, and plastic cutlery. It is also a good idea to have extra water, aluminum foil, food storage items, trash bags, and cooking spray. Always plan for anything by bringing along a camp stove or portable grill just in case it is needed.

When hunger hits and the food at the park just won’t satisfy, don’t worry. There are quite a few eateries within a few miles. To the west of the park, RVers can find an Italian restaurant, breakfast shop, and a diner. To the south, there is another diner, a pizzeria, a full-service eatery, and an American-style kitchenette. On the eastern side of the lake, there are a couple of pubs that have some good food, and there are also two American restaurants and a seafood place. A tavern, Asian cuisine, and several fast food drive-thrus are available as well.

Visitors will be able to smell the delicious aroma of pretzels, corndogs, and other carnival food before even getting out of their vehicles. Conneaut Lake Park has several choices of where to eat. The Midway Grille, near the park office, has all types of foods from burgers and fries to cotton candy and funnel cakes. The Blue Streak Spud Stop is famous for its tasty fries, and the snack bar at the water park has pizza, tacos, and sweets for all. The park also offers several gift shops to grab some souvenirs for you and a friend.
