Geneva SP is a beautiful destination. Front RV spots are full hook up with amazing lake views. Watch out for the wind it cane be overwhelming l, even damaging to RVs on the wrong day. When weather is calm, no better campsites in Ohio

Great place to visit, especially in the off season if you are not into large crowds.

This is such a great state park. Clearwater Beach is fantastic if you are hunting for sea glass or pretty rocks. It wasn't overly crowded and I was there around 5:30p early October. The blue sky and water complimented the changing leaves beautifully and looked like a never ending painting. Spectacular!

Nice park right on the lake, big parking lot, bathroom, picnic tables and beach access. Biking and walking trails. Free to visit.

The walking/bike riding trail is terrific and runs all the way from the lodge in Geneva on the Lake, past the marina, the beach and park to the campsites. It is shaded and tours through the natural environment surrounding the lake. We've seen turtles and fish along the little streams and alcoves of the lake that it crosses over. There are also beach access paths off of parts of the trail. The beach is a mix of sand and smooth stones. You can find beach glass here often. The sand and rocks are very hot though so wear beach shoes or flip flops that hold up over the stones and I recommend wearing them into the water because the stones can be difficult to navigate over in bare feet. Take a raft to float in the waves. It's not very deep though and we're able to stand with it at our waist and talk or throw a football easily. There are public restrooms at the beach park. Parking is limited at the beach and is a challenge in the afternoon although you could park at the marina and walk from there if you didn't have much to carry. There was a lemonade stand set up to purchase from and picnic areas also.
