Camp HiYo! can just plain spoil you on other kinds of travel stay. Tucked away in the tree-covered splendor of the Ohio countryside, just a short dogleg off the highway from Homerville, you can be both a million miles away – and less than an hour from Cleveland and Lake Erie – however you want to look at it.
It’s a naturalist’s dream, Camp HiYo! is, and every kid’s ideal vacation. So, check out the Camp HiYo! Recreation page and come camp, glamp, hike, fish and wagon ride with us to HiYo! times. Remember Camp HiYo! It’s the name you can’t say without singing it. Hi-YO! Go ahead. We all do it.
**Please Note:** Camp HiYo! is a gated campground. All check-ins must arrive by 8PM. Due to liability we cannot park campers arriving after 8PM.

Just returned from a the night stay. We rented one of the small cabins on the lake. Here's my take:
Pros:
1. Ready check in and friendly staff.
2. Cabin was very clean as was the bath houses and the grounds. Very well taken care of.
3. Free WiFi was fantastic...strong signal across most of the campground
4. Pool was clean and the furniture was well maintained.
Cons:
1. The cabins are super close to each other. We only had a neighbor 1 night, but it was like we were sitting on top of each other.
2. You can't purchase local firewood and bring it in. Instead they sell slab wood. Price was reasonable, but the wood was very green and didn't burn well. That type of wood won't stack in the fire ring.
We really enjoyed our time. We will return.
After a great evening touring the park for a seasonal site with Wendy and Lou, we found the mean lady everyone else talks about in the reviews. We are in search of a new seasonal campground for next year, that's what prompted our visit. After spending 2 hours touring the camp on Wednesday, my wife and I had a few questions. The following afternoon, I called and talked to, name left out on purpose. The biggest question i had was the direction the camper had to be on the site we liked and would they assist with a tractor. She wasn't 100% sure but was telling me the camper would have to go in the site parallel to the road, making it impossible to hook up to my truck without tractor assistance. She told me that they would help put it on the site one time and pull it out one time. They will not help at any other time. All I did was ask her to confirm the camper direction and if they would consider assisting a couple of times during the summer. We like to visit state parks as well as have a seasonal. I was basically told that she would check and look at the site, but it would be in my best interest to pick another site. Either way, she never called back. Oh well, it was a nice-looking park, but I have no interest in overpaying for a campground that the managers have no personality.
