If there’s one thing just about every Clevelander can agree on, it’s that nothing beats the splendor of the great outdoors. There are few better ways to get in touch with nature than sleeping under the stars on a camping trip. While there are many great campgrounds in the Cleveland area, there’s one spot in the middle of a massive state forest that is hands-down the best place to pitch your tent.
Mohican State Park is a beautiful 1100-acre state park in Loudonville, Ohio that provides a camping experience unlike any other in the Cleveland area.
