RV Places to Stay by Lake Erie

According to the RV Industry Association, 11.2 million U.S. households now own an RV. And why not? These elaborately outfitted motorhomes and tow-behinds allow you to enjoy the great outdoors while also providing a hint of luxury to your camping experience. 

Here, we offer more than a dozen destinations to park your home away from home and soak-in Lake Erie's serene atmosphere.

Ohio 

Maumee Bay State Park  |  Oregon
Sure, it’s got spacious and private sites, but there’s also miles of flat paved trails to explore. ohioodnr.gov

Geneva State Park  |  Geneva-on-the-Lake
Bike trails connect the park to the charming resort town, where you’ll find all kinds of carnival-like entertainment and fare, like cotton candy twice the size of your head at Pucker Up Candy Shoppe. ohioodnr.gov

Lighthouse RV Resort  |  Lowbanks
About 45 minutes from Niagara Falls and right on Lake Erie, this resort only accepts long-term rentals. lighthouservresort.com
