Walmart (I-71 exit 169), Mansfield, OH

Date of Stay:  Thursday June 13, 2013 (1 night)

Rate:  Shopping trip (varies)

Website:  WalMart
   2485 Possum Run Road
   Mansfield, OH 44903
   419-756-2850

Description:  We followed the signs for trucks and parked on the Gardening Center side.  Another motorhome stayed overnight along with a couple of trucks.  We noticed a couple of fifth wheels in the main parking lot too.  A few restaurants within easy walking distance.

Activities:  We didn’t find a convenient rv park for an overnighter so we pulled in at this Walmart conveniently located at exit 169 from I-71.  After checking in at the customer service desk, we shopped for a few supplies.  We then walked over to Applebees for supper.  Considering that we were close to I-71, we all slept well.  Guess we were tired.

 

Geneva State Park, Geneva, OH

Date of Stay:  Tuesday July 31 - Thursday August 2, 2012 (2 nights)

Rate:  $28/night

Website:  Geneva State Park (OH)
   4499 Padanarum Road
   Geneva, OH 44041
   440-466-8400

Description:  Paved roads and parking pads.  About 100 sites of which 20 are walk-ins.  We were on site 53 and had 50A.  No water or sewer at site.  Water filling faucets spaced throughout cg.  Dump station was convenient to the exit.  There are only 3 FHU sites but I’m sure they stay full.  Nicely wooded with a few sites that didn’t have very many trees.  Cabins are on Lake Erie and there is a very nice, paved bike path that goes in to the quaint resort town of Geneva-on-the-Lake.  Nice swim beach and full service Marina and Resort Lodge is all part of this State Park property.  We stayed here with Tricia and Dan since we were going in the same general direction after visiting Niagara Falls.

Activities:  We enjoyed the bike path a lot.  It was about 4 miles to the resort town of Geneva-on-the-Lake which is also bike friendly.  Being right on Lake Erie was pretty nice too.  We only stayed two nights but wish it could have been longer.

Trash and Recycle:  There are small dumpsters located throughout the park and a recycle bin that takes everything close to the main shower house (laundry area inside) .
