There is a small store to buy some essentials but not much to choose from.
This year my experience at Pymatuning was 2 out of 5. In the past 5 out 5.
Compared to some of the other state parks in ohio, this park is meh. Facilities need a major overhaul. Bathrooms often need cleaning in the middle of the week; however, Friday through Sunday they are OK. Playground is small and dated. Beach is small and needs some work. No hiking trails, but there are some places to get into the woods across a river that flows into the lake at the bottom of the South loop. Big box stores are too far away, but some smaller stores are 5 to 10 mins away.
My family has been visiting this park for 30 years. Its a great place to bring the family and your closest friends together.
The park ranger; so I have heard, never gives a warning; just tickets, nor does he wave or try to make any friendly casual conversation-at least to me.
We enjoyed the campground very much. Very clean flush toilets/showers. Which were placed well throughout the campground. Nice cut through that connected area 2 & 3. Very friendly and helpful staff. Premium sites are definately worth the extra $2.
There is a beach but when we went it was disgusting. All the fish were belly up bloated and rotting. There must have been hundreds if not a thousand. Locals claim this happens at this time of year.
This is a great park. It is very spacious and has great roads connecting the whole park. These are great for biking, roller blading, walks with you kids and dogs.
On the flip side, Connie is super friendly and very accommodating, but she doesn't always work at the campstore, like she used too. We've been coming to Pymatuning campground for the last 3 years. Unfortunately it is not as laid back as it used to be. Probably will return as my son likes playing with all the other children.
DO NOT DO Not book anything with this park. I booked a cabin on 7/26/17 canceled on 7/28/17 because my friends got called into work. 24 hours later and they charged my card 80.64 for cancellation fee. The total was 153.64. WARNING do NOT BOOK with them UNBELIEVABLE.
There are a few smaller playgrounds and one big one. Kids seem to enjoy them all very much.
Camphosts keep to themselves and at times some of them wave. The spirit of the place seems a little broken, unlike the last couple of years. Others who have visited since childhood have voiced the same sentiment.
The cabins are adequate. They meet most of your needs and are big enough for a family of 4. We had a family of 6 but my kids are all under 8 so if your family is smaller you should be ok.
