    Nice State Park, Close to Home

    Checked in to the Punderson State Park Campground with a friend for a two-night, mid-week stay after all the kiddos were back in school. It was heavenly and quiet and a bargain with my Golden Buckeye card (half price camping Mon-Thurs). Ohio residents qualify for...More

    Boating on their lake

    This park features a large lake, with boats, canoes & kayaks available to reasonably rent by the hour. It is all in such a beautiful setting.

    Lovely park!

    Spent an afternoon in this beautiful park. Seemed like there were so many activities and sights here that you'd need several days to see/do it all. Enjoyed seeing the lake and the trails - all first class!

    Nice park. Clean bathrooms which is always important to me. During the day was quiet but after dark we had some noisy neighbors. Most lots are nice but we drove by a few where we wouldn't even be able to fit a tent. Our lot...More

    Camping Trip

    We went to Punderson as part of an extended family camping trip and had a very memorable weekend. We noted some disparities between campsites. Some sites are private (e.g., Hill Tent Sites); some are scenic (sites 156-201); while others are shoehorned under a water tower...More

    Nice state park and campground

    We have camped here quite a few times over the last several years. It's far from our favorite state park in the area, but it's always a pleasant few days. Campsites range from spacious, level, and shaded, with lots of privacy, to little more than...More

    Close and Walkable. You would not need a car to go from a cabin to the lodge. Only the pool separates the front of the lodge from the closest, first couple cabins. The entire cabin complex is not spread out, so even the... More

    As far as I know there is no fee and never when we took our kids years ago. Bring your sled and I don't believe there are tubes.

    Can't find forum for Punderson State Park / Newbury / Geauga (3 Replies)
    Planning a trip to Punderson State Park. All of the posts in the forums are rather old, and I can't seem to find the most applicable forum. Maybe one needs to be created? Or you have a tip to share? I'm looking for activities in mid to late August in particular. Thanks so much!

    Skip the Forum - go straight to Punderson State Park in your browser. This will bring up the DNR website with phone and addresses. Looks like a neat place.
