  • The Ohio turnpike rest area sites are easy to access, have electric, and are relatively quiet.

    Use them every year coming back to IL from NY.The one outside of Toledo (Blue Heron, approx milepost 70)is a pull thru. The one outside Cleveland is not.
  • We have stayed at Maumee Bay and also at East Harbor. Both are nice campgrounds. Maumee Bay is Water/electric with dump station. East Harbor does have some full hookups. Maumee Bay is about 5 miles east of Toledo and East Harbor is a little east of Pt. Clinton.
    Good Luck and Happy Camping.
  • Ohio Turnpike sites are just what you are seeking!!! Good value, very safe, and reasonably quiet.
  • As Dennis already mentioned, the Turnpike has camping in a few of the rest areas. One is about 25 miles east of Toledo. It's a separate parking lot with electric, also has a dump station. We have used 2 of them a few times. State police drive through every once in awhile. We felt pretty safe there, slept well. If I recall the fee was about $15.00

    Info here and here

    Never had the opportunity to use them ourselves.
  • If you like state parks there is Maumee Bay or East Harbor state parks
