A Lakefront Family Campground Near Cleveland
Ridge Ranch Campground is about 51 miles from Cleveland, on 76 acres in Newton Falls with a 17-acre lake, a sandy beach and a Wibit water park. It’s an easy drive for a weekend away from the city.
Why Cleveland families camp at Ridge Ranch
Cleveland families trade the city for the lake: swimming off the beach, a Wibit obstacle course on the water, paddle boats and kayaks, fishing, and themed weekends with DJ nights, karaoke and bingo at the pavilion.
Check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, every site has a fire pit and picnic table, and the camp store has groceries, ice, firewood, pop, bait, fishing supplies and ice cream. See the full list of amenities and activities.

What’s waiting for you

A 17-acre lake with a sandy beach, a large swimming deck and a Wibit water park. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boats are allowed, and the fishing is right off the shore.

Sites for every rig
