The outdoor pavilion is a beautiful piece of woodworking and the heart of the park’s weekend events. Between the pavilion and the beach there is a shaded picnic area where parents can sit and watch the kids on the beach.

Who rents a pavilion?

  • Family reunions, often with relatives camping on nearby sites.
  • Graduation parties, with the beach and playground to keep younger guests busy.
  • Church groups and club gatherings.
  • Seasonal campers hosting events for friends and other campers.

What’s close by for your guests

  • The new sand beach and spring-fed swimming area.
  • The Wibit floating water park (Thursday through Sunday in summer, ages 7 and up, wristband required).
  • A new playground by the lake and a free Kangaroo Jumper.
  • Renovated restrooms and two new bathhouses near the lake.
  • The camp store with ice, snacks and hand-scooped ice cream.

How to book a pavilion

Call the office at (330) 898-8080 with your date and group size. Daily pavilion rates vary by date and are posted on the Ridge Ranch rates page. Weekends in summer can fill early because the outdoor pavilion also hosts park events, so reserve as soon as you have a date.

Guests who aren’t camping

Party guests who aren’t staying overnight register at the store as visitors, with a park visitor pass or a beach day pass if they want to swim, plus parking. Visitors leave by 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday nights and by 8:30 PM on weeknights. Registering every guest keeps the park within its permitted capacity and limited to registered guests, which is part of why families feel comfortable letting kids roam.

Making it a camping weekend

Many families turn a reunion into a camping trip. Book your sites around the same time online so you land next to each other, or call the office and we can place a temporary block on a group of sites; each family then has three days to call in and reserve their own site.

Pavilion rental questions

How big are the pavilions?

The Amish-built outdoor pavilion is about 50 by 30 feet. The indoor pavilion is about 70 by 30 feet with lower ceilings.

Can we bring food or a caterer?

Ask the office when you book. Food trucks visit on many summer weekends; check the events page for the schedule.

Can we have fireworks?

No. Fireworks aren’t allowed at any of our parks.

Can guests swim?

Yes, with a beach day pass. There is no lifeguard, so kids under 13 must be with an adult when swimming.
